CHOICE & FLEXIBILITY
Allied Telesyn’s AT-2701FX/FTX and AT-2746FX
are the answers for those fiber adapters that sup-
port Wake on LAN (WOL) for either PCI 2.1 or
PCI 2.2 systems but not both. Allied Telesyn’s NICs
support WOL through the PCI 2.2 bus and sup-
port PCI 2.1 WOL via external cables. Resistant to
signal degradation, snooping, and interference, the
AT-2701FX/FTX and AT-2746FX are ideal solutions
for networks requiring protection from electrical
interference and hackers.The small footprint—
together with the low-profile option of the AT-
2701FX/FTX—make these products a perfect
choice for PCs equipped with small desktop
solutions.
ALLIED TELESYN’S CARD
ASSISTANT SOFTWARE
Allied Telesyn’s AT-2701FX/FTX and AT-2746FX
feature a full-line of card assistant software:
• AT-Setup reduces Window Driver installation to
a mouse click.This Windows program guides
users through driver installation, updates, and
problem corrections.
• AT-Stat is an advanced Windows application that
reports network conditions and performance
such as hardware resources, network statistics,
and configuration.
• The VLAN protocol driver allows network
administrators to configure their VLAN network
fabric at the PC instead of the switch, enabling
transparent movement of systems between
switches.
• TCP/IP Checksum off-loading improves CPU use
by verifying TCP/IP traffic checksums at the
adapter rather than at the host processor,
improving overall system performance for
slower PCs.
• Packet prioritization enables Windows applica-
tions with Class of Service capabilities to priori-
tize out-bound packet streams to these NICs, a
useful feature for video streaming and VoIP
where interruptions are unacceptable.The AT-
2701FX/FTX’s and AT-2746FX’s onboard
Managed Boot Agent (MBA) provides a wide set
of industry-standard boot protocols, including
PXE, NetWare NCP/IPX, IBM’s RPL, traditional
DHCP, and BOOTP, supporting both BBS (BIOS
Boot Specification) and non-BBS compliant PCs.
It also includes an extensive set of utilities for
boot ROM configuration, as well as access to
Pre-OS and network boot image files. Offering a
wide range of connector choices—ST, SC, MT-RJ,
or VF-45—these cards meet the requirements of
most fiber installations.
