Adaptec(r) ATM25 (tm) Standards-based 25.6 Mb/s ATM NICs for PCI, SBus, and Micro Channel systems --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS * Full-duplex 25.6 Mb/s connection to standards-based ATM networks * Choice of adapters for ATM connection to PCI, SBus, or Micro Channel I/O systems using a UTP Category 3 interface * Classical IP over ATM and LAN Emulation client support * Up to 1,024 concurrent virtual circuits supported with either SVCs or PVCs * Manageable through SNMP using the ATM Forum ILMI * Network operating system drivers for Windows NT (tm) , Solaris, OS/2 and NetWare --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW The Adaptec ATM25 family of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network interface cards (NICs) gives desktop systems the bandwidth to cost-effectively and efficiently run imaging, graphics, multimedia, and distributed data applications. The Adaptec ATM25 NICs increase network performance by helping to eliminate bottlenecks and increase data transfer rates. This enables users to preserve investments in legacy systems through standards compliance and interoperability with the products of all major ATM router, switch and adapter vendors. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEY BENEFITS Accelerated performance Adaptec ATM25 NICs are single-slot adapters with high-performance, high-efficiency, standards-based, custom-silicon architectures that implement the ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) 5 protocol. AAL5 cells are reassembled on-board into frames, and non-AAL5 cells are passed through into host memory. The Adaptec ATM25 NICs deliver 25.6 Mb/s full-duplex data stream capacity with up to 1,024 virtual channel identifiers (VCIs). Interoperability made easy Adaptec ATM25 NICs support both permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) and switched virtual circuits (SVCs) with the signaling software that conforms to ATM Forum UNI 3.0 and UNI 3.1 standards. Conforming to ATM Forum standards, Adaptec ATM25 NICs interoperate with switches, routers, and edge devices from major network vendors, such as IBM, Whitetree and First Virtual Networks and provide the full advantage of LAN Emulation and Classical IP functionality over ATM (RFC-1577). As a result, they give users freedom of choice in ATM solutions and enable the integration of new ATM technology with legacy LANs. This high level of interoperability optimizes users' investment in desktop systems, eliminates dependence on a single vendor, and enables users to set their own pace for migration to higher capabilities. A growth path for the future Adaptec is committed to supplying the most technologically advanced solutions available. The Adaptec ATM25 family includes cards that support Windows NT and Solaris 2.3 and 2.4, with support for NetWare, Windows (r) , and OS/2 to follow. As new products and technologies emerge, Adaptec updates software drivers to meet user's needs. The Adaptec ATM25 and Adaptec ATM155 families of network interface cards currently support PCI, SBus and Micro Channel bus hardware platforms, plus Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 and Windows NT software environments. Support will also be added for the NetWare, DOS/Windows, OS/2 and MAC OS operating systems. Please check with Adaptec suppliers, Adaptec's Interactive Fax or the World-Wide Web server for the latest environments supported. Adaptec IOware(r) Adaptec IOware solutions eliminate performance bottlenecks between microcomputers, peripherals, and networks. Solutions range from simple connectivity products for single-user and small-office desktops to intelligent subsystem, high-performance SCSI, RAID, and ATM products for enterprise-wide computing and networked environments. Adaptec I/O solutions are incorporated into the products of virtually all the major computer and peripheral manufacturers around the world. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Adaptec Family of ATM Adapters Adaptec ATM25 NICs Product Bandwidth Bus Media Buffer Number (Mb/s) Type Interface Memory (K) --------- ---- ---- ---------- ----------- ANA(tm)-5210 25.6 SBus UTP 3, STP 512 ANA-5610 25.6 MCA UTP 3, STP 128 or 512 ANA-5910 25.6 PCI UTP 3, STP 128 or 512 Adaptec ATM155 NICs Product Bandwidth Bus Media Buffer Number (Mb/s) Type Interface Memory (K) --------- ---- ---- ---------- ----------- ANA-5230 155 SBus UTP 5 512 ANA-5240 155 SBus MMF 512 ANA-5930 155 PCI UTP 5 512 ANA-5940 155 PCI MMF 512 A complete ATM product The Adaptec ATM25 NICs are available with a Category 3 UTP interface in the following configurations: * ANA(tm)-5910/128 PCI adapter: 128 KB on-board memory * ANA-5910/512 PCI adapter: 512 KB on-board memory * ANA-5610/128 MCA adapter: 128 KB on-board memory * ANA-5610/512 MCA adapter: 512 KB on-board memory * ANA-5210/512 S-Bus adapter: 512 KB on-board memory * LAN Emulation (client), 1577 Client, and UNI 3.0 and 3.1 drivers NOS driver software * 133 MBytes/sec DMA burst rate on the PCI bus * 100 MBytes/sec DMA burst rate on the SBus All adapters include * Complete user reference documentation * Adaptec (r) EZ-ATM (tm) installation and configuration software --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adaptec, Inc. 691 South Milpitas Blvd. Milpitas, CA 95035 408-945-8600 Literature: 1-800-934-2766 Ordering Software: 1-800-442-7274 (USA and Canada) or 408-957-7274 Interactive FAX: (408) 957-7150 Internet ftp server: ftp.adaptec.com World-Wide Web: http://www.adaptec.com CompuServe: GO ADAPTEC Adaptec USA Bulletin Board: 408-945-7727 (up to 28,800 baud, using 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 1995 Adaptec, Inc.
