Iphase (Interphase Corp. ) : 5575

PCI ATM Adapter

The 5575 provides high performance full duplex ATM connectivity for demanding server applications, with hardware support for advanced traffic management capabilities. With the (i)chip+, Interphases next generation ATM SAR, the 5575 simultaneously supports a wide range of ATM service classes including Available Bit Rate (ABR), Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR). The 5575 also provides support for multiple protocols via RFC 1577 and ATM Forum LAN Emulation, allowing users to migrate existing networks to ATM using standard protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX, AppleTalk, NetBIOS and others over switched virtual circuits. These protocols are transparent to the end-stations and require no additional set-up or configuration. And, Cellview, a full featured GUI management tool, simplifies the installation and configuration of Interphase ATM adapter cards.
