PCI EDIMAX 10/100Mbps Fast Network Card

General Information:

Edimax 10/100Mbps PCI Fast Ethernet adapters are the fundamental building blocks of a high performance and easy to manage Fast Ethernet network.

The price of the network hardware and bandwidth has fallen steadily over the past few years, making it possible for companies of all sizes to build bigger, better, and more far-reaching networks. However, with the bigger installation and growing complexity of the networks, the cost of maintaining these networks has been spiraling upward. Reducing the total costs of ownership has become a major challenge to all companies.

Edimax’s PCI Fast Ethernet Adapters are your solution to build a solid network and minimize the total cost of ownership. First of all, the adapters (EN-9130 & EN-9130A) are tested and approved by Microsoft and Novell testing labs to guarantee a seamless compatibility with these leading networking operating systems. Secondly, they are Y2K compliant and come with lifetime warranty that protects your investment. Finally and most importantly is all your PCs with Edimax Fast Ethernet adapters installed will become manageable PCs through standard Internet browser.

The WebDESK Manager utility included with Edimax Fast Ethernet adapters is a simple management tool that allows network administrators to monitor and manage all your local and remote PCs in the organization from the home or office computer. You can collect all managed PCs’ critical information with a simple click of WebDESK Manager, which works together with popular Internet Browsers such as Microsoft IE and Netscape Navigator. There’re no complicated interfaces to handle; everything is presented in the standard Internet Browser format.

Edimax Fast Ethernet adapters are also DMI (Desktop Management Interface) compliant that can be integrated into DMI management system such as Intel LANDesk Client Manager. The advanced model of EN-9130A supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration Power Interface) that allows remote power control of the PC.

Manageable, compatible, Plug-N-Play, and 32-bit bus-mastering architecture, Edimax Fast Ethernet adapters provide a true value to your network.
