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 capa-
bility 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 adminis-
trators 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)
(on AT-2971T only)
(on AT-2971T only)
The VCT program detects and reports poten-
tial 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.
