Allied Telesis AT-2712FX Internal Ethernet 100 Mbit/s

The Allied Telesis AT-2712FX is a PCI Express x1 network interface card designed for fiber-to-the-desktop environments that require secure and reliable wired connections. Supporting up to 100 Mbit/s data transfer, the AT-2712FX/SC is compact and suited for use in constrained system slots while offering features for managed and secure networks.

Advantages

The AT-2712FX provides advanced centralized power management and hardware offload for IPsec tasks (NDIS 6 compliant), supporting up to 32 security associations. It includes IPv4/IPv6 Large Send Offload and checksum offload, Wake on LAN (meeting ACPI requirements), SNMP MIB II statistics, and Broadcom TruManage remote management capabilities for systems whether powered on or off. DASH manageability v1.1 is also supported.

Suitable for

• Government and public sector networks requiring secure connectivity
• Educational institutions and computer labs
• Enterprise desktops with fiber-to-the-desktop deployments
• Managed environments needing remote hardware management and monitoring

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express x1
• Maximum data transfer rate: 100 Mbit/s
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Networking standards: IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3x
• Security associations: 32 (IPsec offload, NDIS 6 compliant)

How to use

Install the AT-2712FX into an available PCIe x1 slot on a compatible motherboard, secure the bracket, and connect the fiber interface as required by your network infrastructure. Install the appropriate drivers for the operating system to enable NDIS 6 features and offloads. Configure IPsec, Wake on LAN and management settings through your OS and network management tools to take advantage of hardware offload and remote management functions.

Recommendations

Use with systems that support PCIe x1 and with fiber cabling consistent with your network design; ensure up-to-date drivers and firmware for full compatibility with IPv6 offloads, IPsec task offload, and remote management features.
