AT-2911 Series Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapters Installation and User's Guide
After you install an AT-2911 series adapter in your desktop computer,
attach the system to a compatible link partner or an IEEE 802.3 compliant
Gigabit Ethernet switch. The adapter has a fiber optic connector, copper
connector, SFP slot, or a combination of these connectors.
Note
You must have a fiber optic or copper cable to connect your system
to the network. If your adapter has an SFP slot, you must have an
SFP transceiver as well. Contact your Allied Telesis distributor or
reseller for a list of supported transceivers.
The AT-2911 series fiber optic adapters are equipped with two types of
fiber optic connectors: SC and LC connectors. For optical characteristics
of the AT-2911 adapter, see Appendix A, "Specifications" on page 111. In
addition, the AT-2911 data sheet is available on the Allied Telesis website:
www.alliedtelesis.com.
To connect a fiber optic network cable to the adapter, perform the
following procedure:
1. Prepare a fiber optic cable according to the specifications in Table 3.
