{AE-1/T ETHERNET
{ADAPTER
{10BASE-T Network Interface Card
Designed to be a low-cost Ethernet solution, the Artisoft AE-1/T
Ethernet adapter lets you cable your network with the affordable
twisted-pair cabling often found prewired in newer office
buildings. Then all you have to do is add Artisoft's Peer-Hub
concentrator -- or any other standard 10BASE-T hub -- to make
your network connections.
Unshielded twisted-pair cable plugs directly into the adapter,
which then cables directly to the Peer-Hub concentrator. The
adapter's link-integrity LED will show if the connection to the
hub is correct. And because Artisoft designed its AE-1/T Ethernet
adapter in conjunction with its Peer-Hub concentrator, the
adapter will not only use any of the concentrator's five external
twisted-pair ports, but also take advantage of any of its
internal twisted-pair connectors.
The AE-1/T Ethernet adapter offers increased efficiency with more
IRQ options (Interrupt Request Lines) than most other adapters.
These additional IRQs can be used by AT class machines or above,
leaving you more free IRQs for other hardware devices.
The Artisoft AE-1/T Ethernet adapter is an 8-bit adapter which is
NE1000-compatible, offers a 10 Mbps transfer rate and is in 100%
compliance with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards.
