Functional Description

The AT-2716POE Fast Ethernet Fiber & PoE Adapter is a highly
integrated dual-port adapter based on Broadcom’s BCM5718 chipset.
The primary data port is 100FX fiber. The secondary port is a 1 Gigabit
copper port which can support Class 3 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
devices. See Figure 1.

In networks where the main data backbone is fiber, the AT-2716POE
adapter is used to implement desktop VoIP (Voice over IP) solutions
which are usually copper based.

The Allied Telesis AT-2716POE AT-Mux Configuration software allows
packet bridging between the AT-2716POE FX fiber and the TP PoE
(Power over Ethernet) port. It allows you to enable and configure VLANs
as well as controlling the flow of packets through the bridge. The
Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Operating Systems are
supported by the AT-2716POE adapter drivers.

The adapter connects a PCI-Express compliant workstation to a 100FX
Ethernet network. The adapter incorporates a technology that transfers
data at a maximum rate of 200 Mbps. In addition, the adapters use fiber
optic cabling and a connector that meets 62.5/125um or 50/125um
multimode specifications. The AT-2716POE fiber port operates at 100
Mbps half/full-duplex mode. The copper port operates with auto
negotiation of up to 1000 Mbps Full Duplex.

Virtual LANs and the AT-2716POE AT-Mux
Configuration Utility

The AT-2716POE adapter is IEEE 802.1Q-compliant and is designed to
support virtual LANs (VLANs) and tagged packets. A VLAN is an
independent traffic domain where traffic generated by the nodes of a
VLAN is restricted only to nodes that are members of the same VLAN.
Traffic within a VLAN cannot cross over a VLAN boundary unless there is
an interconnection device, such as a router or a Layer 3 switch in the
network.

Often, VLANs are used to group nodes with related functions into their
own separate, logical LAN segments. These VLAN groupings can be
based on similar data needs or security requirements. In addition, VLANs
can increase network performance and security by restricting traffic to
specific devices or areas of a network.

A tagged VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) contains one or more network links that
carry traffic from more than one VLAN. The VLAN traffic is identified by a
header tag, or simply a tag, that follows the source and destination
addresses in a packet. The tag contains a VLAN identifier (VID) that
uniquely identifies the VLAN to which a packet belongs. The AT­2716POE adapter is capable of reading the header tag in tagged packets
as they arrive on the port, as well as adding tags to packets when
transmitting packets.

Before a network adapter card can handle tagged packets, you must
configure it by specifying the appropriate VIDs of the VLANs whose
tagged packets the adapter is to process.

If the network adapter card handles tagged traffic from more than one
VLAN, you can use the AT-2716POE AT-Mux Configuration utility, which
you can download from the Allied Telesis website. This utility allows you
to assign a VIDs to each adapter port enabling a network adapter card to
process tagged traffic from different VLANs.

The following list briefly outlines the behavior of a network adapter card
when handling tagged and untagged VLAN traffic:

 An adapter where no VIDs have been assigned accepts and transmits

only untagged packets. (An untagged packet does not contain a
header tag and, consequently, lacks VLAN identification.) The adapter
discards any tagged packets that arrive on the port. Both the fiber and
copper port communicate on the same network.

 An adapter where at least one VID has been assigned accepts only

those tagged packets with header tags that match the assigned VIDs

50

on that assigned port. The adapter discards all untagged packets on
that port as well as any tagged packets with VIDs that do not match
the VIDs assigned to the card. Either one or both adapter ports can be
tagged with the same or different VIDs.

stream through the a secured 100FX fiber link. The PoE device could be
a VoIP phone, a WiFi Access Point, or a security camera that requires
between 0W to 15.4W of PoE power.

In networks where the primary connection for your computer workstation
is a fiber backbone, the fiber port on your AT-2716 POE adapter can be
configured to separate the data for your computer workstation from the
data on the copper port connected to a PoE device such as VoIP (Voice
over IP) phone. This application is accomplished by installing Allied
Telesis’s ATMux configuration utility which allows bridging
between the ports and the configuration of Virtual Local Area Networks
(VLANs) for the ports.

57

In Figure 32, the VoIP phone is attached to the AT-2716POE copper port.
However, many VoIP devices cannot recognize VLAN tagged packets.
The AT-2716POE Configuration Utility handles this situation by allowing
you to enable the VLAN setting on the copper port and assign a unique
VLAN ID to the port for the VoIP traffic. Once this is done, the AT­2716POE adapter will insert the correct VLAN tag on each VoIP Ethernet
packet before traffic flows onto the fiber cable.

The adapter is configured so that traffic from both VLANs flows through
the fiber port to the fiber backbone of the local area network. The data
traffic and VoIP traffic are segmented or isolated from each other with this
configuration even though all of the packets travel on the same fiber cable
connected to the AT-2716POE fiber port.

Example 1 shows a scenario where non VLAN aware VoIP phone is
present. VoIP data is transmitted untagged on VLAN 2 and network data
is tagged with VLAN1 and is segmented from VoIP data.

Troubleshooting Checklist

The following checklist provides recommended actions to take to resolve
problems installing the Allied Telesis AT-2716POE adapter or running it in
your system.

Warning

Before opening the cabinet of your system for removing or
inserting the adapter, please review all precautions outlined under
“Reviewing Safety Precautions” on page 18.

 Inspect all cables and connections. Verify that the cable connections

between the adapter and the switch are attached properly. Make sure
that the cable length and rating are compliant with the requirements
listed in “Connecting the Network Cables” on page 26."

 Check the adapter installation by reviewing Chapter 2, “Installing the

Hardware” on page 17.

 Make sure that the adapter board is properly seated in a PCIe slot.

Check for specific hardware problems, such as obvious damage to
board components or the PCIe edge connector.

 Check the configuration settings and change them accordingly if they

are in conflict with another device.

 Make sure that your system is using the latest BIOS.
 Try inserting the adapter in another slot. If the new position works, the

original slot in your system may be defective.

 Replace the failed adapter with one that is known to work properly. If

the second adapter works in the slot where the first one failed, the
original adapter is probably defective.

 Install the adapter in another functioning system and run the tests

again. If the adapter passed the tests in the new system, the original
system may be defective.



Remove all other adapters from the system and run the tests again. If
the adapter passes the tests, the other adapters may be causing
contention.

Check for the latest operating system drivers or configuration utilities



on Allied Telesis’s Software Support website
Try a different PCIe slot.

Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors

The fiber optic connector consists of a fiber optic plug and its adapter.
The end of the fiber optic cable is held in the core of the ferrule in the
plug. Light signals are transmitted through the core of the fiber. Even
minor smudges or dirt on the end face of the fiber, completely invisible to
the naked eye, can disrupt light transmission and lead to failure of the
component or of the entire system. Therefore, it is of utmost importance
to clean all fiber optic connectors before use.

Figure 44 shows the ferrule in an SC connector.

Figure 45 shows part of the end face of an unclean and clean ferrule.

This appendix provides the following procedures

 “Using a Cartridge-Type Cleaner” on page 92
 “Using a Swab” on page 94

Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors

Using a Cartridge-Type Cleaner

Fiber optic cartridge cleaners are available from many vendors and are
typically called “cartridge cleaners,” as shown in Figure 46.

Figure 46. Cartridge Cleaner

Note

Do not use compressed air or aerosol air to clean a fiber optic
connector.

To clean a fiber optic connector using a cartridge cleaner, perform the
following procedure.

1. With one hand, hold the cartridge cleaner and push the lever on the
cleaning cartridge in the direction of the arrow to expose the cleaning
surface, as shown in Figure 47.

2. Place the ferrule tip on the exposed cleaning surface and rub the
ferrule in a downward direction, as shown in Figure 47.

Figure 47. Rubbing the Ferrule Tip on the Cleaning Surface

88

AT-2716POE Fast Ethernet Fiber & PoE Adapt er Installation and User’s Guide

Note

Rub the ferrule tip on the cleaning surface in one direction only.

3. When you reach the end of the cleaning surface, pick up the ferrule
tip, rotate and place it at the top and rub downwards at least 2 times.

Caution

Failing to pick up the ferrule tip when you reach the bottom of the
cleaning surface can result in static electricity that can damage the
fiber optic cable.

4. If desired, repeat steps 3 and 4.

5. If a fiber inspection scope is available, use the scope to inspect the
ferrule end face to make sure that it is clean.

6. Reconnect the cable to the port or protect the ferrule tip with a dust
cap.

Note

Always keep a dust cap on a fiber optic cable when it is not in use.

Note

Do not touch the end face of the ferrule in the connector.

Warning

Warning

Do not stare into the laser beam. L2

Do not look directly at the cable ends or inspect the cable ends
with an optical lens. E29

89

Using a Swab

Specially treated swabs, known as stick cleaners, are available for
cleaning inside connector adapters or hard-to-reach ferrule tips. These
swabs, often referred to as “lint free” or “alcohol free” swabs, are available
from many vendors, as shown in Figure 48. Stick cleaners are available in
both 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm sizes for use on SC and MU connectors
respectively.

AT-2716POE Fast Ethernet Fiber & PoE Adapt er Installation and User’s Guide

Note

NEVER use a household cotton swab and/or alcohol to clean a
fiber optic connector. This may leave a residue on the ferrule tip.

To clean a recessed ferrule using a swab, perform the following
procedure.

1. Insert the swab into the adapter as shown in Figure 47 and rub the
ferrule tip with the swab.

2. If desired, repeat step 1.
