P430TX PCI Quad Fast Ethernet Card 10/100 Mbps DATASHEET AEI’s P430TX Fast Ethernet adapter offers combined density, and maximum Fast Ethernet connectivity for Windows or UNIX server environments and Firewalls. q Four 10/100Base-Tx Ethernet ports q Copper RJ-45 UTP connectivity Up to 100 meters. Consolidate multiple server 10/100 Mbps ports onto a single low cost network interface card (NIC). q PCI 32/64-bit, 33 MHz The P430TX is ideal for Firewall security appliances, co-location, server farms, q Auto-negotiation ISPs, and those looking for increased flexibility and scalable bandwidth for workgroup and departmental servers that have limited PCI slots. q Device Drivers With AEI’s PacketEngine Software, all four ports can be trunked based on the Windows Physical Layer, network protocols (http, ftp, SMTP), socket, and/or IP Address. HP-UX With all four ports trunked, the P430TX offers aggregate full duplex bandwidth Solaris (x86 & SPARC) of 800Mbps surpassing the actual performance of many Gigabit Ethernet cards Linux available on the market today. FreeBSD PacketEngine can also automatically detect network link failures, and switch NetWare traffic over to an “active’ redundant link, part of a failover group, in a matter of OpenBSD milliseconds. Unlike conventional failover solutions, PacketEngine’s fast VxWorks failover eliminates the need to reconfigure the network protocol stack and the and more, call for details relearning process of layer 2 MAC addresses by clients to reestablish a network link after a failure. This sub-second failover provides transparent network link recovery from cable, port, or adapter faults. q PCI 2.1 compliant and compatible with PCI 2.2 and PCI-X slots These advanced server features are unique to the AEI line of Ethernet Adapters, and are provided at no additional expense through our PacketEngine q Advanced Server Features Software suite with card purchase. Trunking (Layers 1, 3 & 4) Active Port Failover The P430TX’s cross platform support offers a more rugged design, higher-end Adaptive Load Balancing components, and improved filtering. This translates to cleaner signal integrity, higher performance, and higher reliability. Dynamic Load Balancing Fault Tolerance and High Reliability. No one offers a more comprehensive q Compatible with Cisco EtherChannel, advanced server suite than AEI. That’s why Tier-1 and Tier-2 OEMs, system SunTrunking, and all industry trunking integrators, and others choose AEI. algorithms.
