Description

The 2914 series fiber network adapters are 100/1000Mb Ethernet PCI

Express (PCIe) cards developed based on a Marvell 88E6320 switch chip

and Broadcom’s BCM57762 network controller. The 2914 series network

adapter is equipped with one fiber optic port or SFP slot and supports the

Wak-on-LAN (WoL) feature.

The AT-2914SX/SC and AT-2914SX/LC models are Gigabit Ethernet

network adapters operating at 1000Mbs; the AT-2914SP model can

operate at 100 Mbs or 1000 Mbs depending on the SFP type in use.

Wake-on-LAN (WoL) is a protocol for remotely turning on a computer in a

low power mode with a network message. A magic packet is a network

message that a WoL-enabled computer receives and wakes up when the

computer’s MAC address matches one in the magic packet.

After physically installing the 2914 series network adapters on your

Windows operating system, you must install driver software. To install

driver software, see Chapter 3, “Installing the Driver Software” on page 37.

Note

You do not need to install driver software for Linux system because

Linux has inbox drivers for the 2914 series network adapters.

Figure 1 shows the AT-2914SX/SC model.

2914 Series

Network Adapter

Models

The AT-2914 series includes the following models:

AT-2914SX/SC

AT-2914SX/LC

AT-2914SP

SC Optical Fiber

Connector

The AT-2914SX/SC network adapter is equipped with a 1000BASE-SX

port with the SC connector.

The SC connector is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. SC Optical Fiber Connector

To connect the SC optical fiber connector to a network cable, you must

have a fiber optic network cable with the SC connector.

LC Fiber Optic

Adapter

The AT-2914SX/LC network adapter is equipped with a 1000BASE-SX

port with the LC connector.

The LC connector is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. LC Optical Fiber Connector

SFP Slot The AT-2914SP network adapter has an SFP slot that you can plug in an

SFP transceiver to connect the network adapter to a compatible link

partner. The link connected through the SFP slot operates at either

100Mbps or 1000Mbps (depending upon the speed of the installed SFP)

and only in full-duplex mode.

Note

An SFP transceiver must be purchased separately. For a list of

supported transceivers, contact your Allied Telesis distributor or

reseller.

Supported Operating Systems

The following list shows the supported operating systems:

Windows 10 in 32-bit and 64-bit; Microsoft certified

Windows 8/8.1 in 32-bit and 64-bit; Microsoft certified

Windows 7 in 32-bit and 64-bit; Microsoft certified

Linux 2.6

The 2914 series network adapter that is installed on Linux systems uses

Linux inbox driver software to operate so that you do not need to install

driver software for Linux systems. A driver supplied with an operating

system is called an inbox driver.

For Windows Operating Systems, you must install driver software for the

2914 series network adapter. To install driver software for Windows

Operating Systems, see Chapter 3, “Installing the Driver Software” on

page 37.
