INTRODUCTION
SMC’s Barricade PCI, SMC1255TX, is a dual-speed Fast Ethernet card for PCI local bus-compliant computers. A true plug-and-play device, this card is auto-configurable upon power up and also supports auto-negotiation to automatically select the optimum speed and communication mode of an attached device. This Barricade PCI complies with ACPI and OnNow PC98/PC99 and also supports Remote LAN Wakeup. By connecting the Barricade PCI card’s Wake-On-LAN (WOL) cable, a WOL-enabled computer can be managed remotely. Software can be loaded and updated, configurations changed, data backed up and inventory checked, all from a central location. See “Remote LAN Wakeup” on page 5 for more information.
The Barricade PCI card also provides SMC EtherGuard (personal firewall) and WiNeTool (personal sniffer tool) features and benefits. SMC EtherGuard prevents children/employees from visiting specified Web sites. It also automatically blocks Trojan Horses. WiNeTool allows you to monitor and analyze network traffic.
