"This new AT-2500 brings the best in performance and power management to Allied Telesyn's most popular and economical dual-speed PCI network adapter A printed circuit board that plugs into the bus of both user machines (clients) and servers in a local area network (LAN). Also commonly called a "network interface card" (NIC) or "LAN card," the network adapter transmits data onto the network and receives data from the network. family," said Sean Keohane, Allied's Vice President of Marketing and Engineering. "By adding ACPI and OnNow support to this high-bandwidth, full-duplex, 10Base-T/100Base-TX autosensing NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC.

The Allied Telesyn AT-2500TX/ACPI Fast Ethernet adapter is an easy-to-integrate PCI network interface card that can improve total system performance and user productivity dramatically. It functions on both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks, using 10/100 auto-sensing to maximize performance with no reconfiguration or driver changes. The newly-enhanced AT-2500TX/ACPI also simplifies network administration by fully supporting the OnNow and ACPI power management initiatives defined by Microsoft's PC98 requirements, and it is fully compliant with the industry's Net PC specification. The AT-2500TX/ACPI adapter's full-duplex capabilities facilitate simultaneous transmit and receive, making it possible to achieve a full 200Mbps of bandwidth. Its low CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. utilization means that the time the CPU would spend on network data transfer can be devoted to applications. The AT-2500TX/ACPI is another example of Allied Telesyn's commitment to standards, and to bringing the market what it wants: a low-cost, standards-based Fast Ethernet adapter with guaranteed compatibility and auto-configuration for quick and easy installation.
