{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.
And that's not all. 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.
