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.
