- 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.
