Network Interface Cards
PRODUCT INFORMATION
AT-2712FX
PCI-Express SECURE NETWORK INTERFACE CARD
The Allied Telesis AT-2712FX (available with SC or MT connector) Network Interface Card is designed for fiber-to-the-desktop networks that depend on secure and reliable systems. With a small form factor PCIe x 1 bus, the AT-2712FX is an ideal fit for government, education or other networks with high security requirements.
Secure Connectivity through Fiber
The AT-2712FX is designed to provide desktop computers with network connections through a highspeed multi-mode fiber-optic link with
an SC or MT interface. The AT-2712FX supports Microsoft Windows 2003, XP and Vista operating systems, and is compliant with industry standards.
Comprehensive Software Support
Allied Telesis AT-2712FX interface cards feature software to assist users with network setup and configuration.
An offline user diagnostics program provides system administrators and engineers with a valuable tool to analyze the interface card and check data. In addition, the Broadcom Advance Control Suite program simplifies controlling and configuring all AT-2712FX cards.
Secure Encrypted Data Transmission
IP Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and/ or encrypting each IP packet in a data stream. The cryptographic algorithms that are used in IPSec operation are computationally intensive, which can overwhelm the host CPU at high
network speeds. The AT-2712FX implements hardware that performs these intensive cryptographic algorithms, known as IPSec task offload v2. The AT2712FX supports the transport mode of IPSec Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulation Security Payload (ESP) protocols for end-to-end security of packet traffic. Simultaneous AH and ESP task offload is also supported for up to 32 Security Associations (SA).
DASH
Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) is a DMTF management initiative that represents a suite of specifications, which standardize the management interfaces for mobile and desktop hardware. The DASH suite of specifications defines the interfaces for management in the
form of protocols and profiles that represent mobile and desktop hardware. Fundamental to the DASH is the underlying goal to unify the experience achieved through out-of-band mechanisms with those available via the operating system.
