Allied Telesyn Eases Network Evolution with New Dual-Speed, Dual-Media Copper/Fiber LAN Adapters.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2000 10/100TX and Fiber on One Card Lets Managers Future-Proof Networks Allied Telesyn International (www.alliedtelesyn.com), a worldwide leader in simplifying networking for businesses of all sizes, Monday announced the newest in their line of simple, flexible networking tools -- a family of dual-capability LAN adapters Same as network adapter. that accommodate today's evolving networks by providing a migration path from legacy copper to new Ethernet and Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. fiber networks. The new adapters, Allied Telesyn AT-2450FTX (Fault Tolerant UNIX) Stratus Computer's version of Unix System V for its XA/R fault tolerant computer systems. See also FTTx. (operating system) FTX - Stratus' Unix operating system. , AT-2700FXTX and their all-fiber cousin, the AT-2745FX are available beginning this month. "Many of Allied Telesyn's top-selling products have been in the dual-speed and media conversion product lines," said Vince Ricco, Allied Telesyn's senior vice president of sales. "These products extend the philosophy that drives those sales -- real-world network evolution -- to the copper/fiber drive that's underway. Real world networks need flexible solutions, and Allied Telesyn knows that it's critical for network managers to have the ability to be forward-thinking while maintaining connectivity with legacy equipment." All of the new high-performance 32-bit PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). 2.2 adapters in this family are PC99-compliant, and support both Wake-on-LAN and ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) A power management specification developed by Intel, Toshiba and Microsoft that makes hardware status information available to the operating system. .

In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. , as well as the Managed Performance Portfolio from AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. , a software package that provides utilities and applications to help network managers get the most from their networks. These easy-to-integrate dual-capability network adapters 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. can go a long way toward improving total system performance and user productivity right away, and their future-proof duality Duality (physics) The state of having two natures, which is often applied in physics. The classic example is wave-particle duality. The elementary constituents of nature—electrons, quarks, photons, gravitons, and so on—behave in some respects combined with lifetime warranties and free technical support mean they'll be part of the network for a long time to come.
