Description

AEI AEI-P230TX Fast Ethernet Card. PCI | 32/64-bit | 33 MHz | Dual 10/100 Simple Type: Ethernet Card AEI Intelligent Technologies' Dual Fast Ethernet (DFE) card (P230TX) is based on the popular Intel 21143-TD chipset. This means the device driver is embedded into many operating systems. It is fully plug and play supported in all Windows and Linux operating systems. As a developer and partner of several UNIX-based OEMs, the AEI solution includes our own device drivers for FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (x86 & SPARC), HP-UX (PA-RISC), and other high-end platforms. Firewalls and application servers on Fast Ethernet networks can now get the bandwidth they need with the P230TX DualPort PCI network interface card. This high-performance card can support two separate 10/100 Mbps copper network segments at full bandwidth. With PacketEngine software, all two ports can be aggregated into a single logical link with bandwidth up to 400 Mbps full-duplex. The P230TX supports active failover to redundant server links so that critical application server connections can be maintained at all times (in milliseconds). Unlike many "server class" adapters on the market today, the P230TX was designed for cros platform, closed architecture support. This means additional noise impedance was engineered into the board. The P230TX has a clean design, high precision oscillator, integrated magnetics, high-end surface mount discrete components, and additional filtering. The cumulative effect is a card that is high performance, highly reliable, and fault tolerant and a much higher return on investment when compared to the competition. Although the P230TX is a 32-bit card, several OEM clients have commented as to its ability to outperform many competitors' 64-bit cards. These performance characteristics, combined with its relative low price has many OEMs switching to AEI. The P230TX is fully interoperable with existing Ethernet hubs, switches and routers. AEI Fast Ethernet cards provided increased bandwidth for event the most congested network.
