Gigabit Ethernet server adapter for 10/100/1000T
High Performance
A high performance adapters with a 64-bit/66MHz bus, wire speed, and 9kb jumbo frames support, Allied Telesyn’s AT-2971 supports the calculation of TCP, UDP, and IP checksums through the hardware platform
without time loss by the MAC controller for both transmission and receiving paths—a capability that leads to improvements on overall
system performance. In order to reduce the load on the CPU, Allied Telesyn’s AT-2971 uses interrupt moderation to group the huge
amounts of interrupts caused by small packets transferred at Gigabit speed enabling the handling of several data packets per interrupt.
High Reliability
The AT-2971 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter comes with a variety of reliability features aimed at maintaining the longest-possible connection through link aggregation, redundant switch failover, and PCI hot plug.The on-board sensors and driver functions monitor the health of adapters and their ports enabling pro-active network management.
Comprehensive Software Support
AT-2971 adapter cards feature a set of software programs that assist users with their network setups and configurations.The offline user
diagnostics program provides system administrators and engineers with a tool to analyze network adapters and check specific data. The Network Control program for Windows 2K, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 enables users to easily control and configure all their AT-2971 adapters.
Virtual Cable Tester™ (VCT)
The VCT program detects and reports potential cabling issues such as cable opens, cable shorts, or any impedance mismatches in the cable. It can also accurately locate the distance to the cabling fault within a tolerance of one meter, enabling IT staffs to quickly identify failing mechanisms and isolate the source of problems.
