AT-2911GP Gigabit Fiber Ethernet PoE+ Adapters Installation and User’s Guide
Description
The AT-2911GP adapter is a Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (PCIe) card
developed based on Broadcom’s BCM5718 Ethernet controller. The
adapter card is equipped with one 1000SX or 1000LX fiber optic port and
one 10/100/1000T Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) copper port capable
of providing electrical power to Class 4 devices.
The AT-2911GP adapter card can be used as a dual port adapter or a
bridge that connects two ports. As a dual port adapter, the adapter card
connects the PC to two separate networks. As a bridge, the adapter
connects two ports on the card to the same network.
Figure 1 shows the AT-2911GP/LXSC model.
Figure 1. AT-2911GP Adapter Card
AT-2911GP
Models
The AT-2911GP series offers the following models:
AT-2911GP/SXLC
AT-2911GP/SXSC
AT-2911GP/LXLC
AT-2911GP/LXSC
PoE+ Capable Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a system that supports power along with
data using a single Ethernet cable. Class 4 devices require power
between 12.95 watts and 25.5 watts. PoE+ is a PoE standard for devices
that provide power up to 25.5 watts.

Note
Dual Port
Adapter
Bridge to
Connect Two
Ports to One
Network
The AT-2911GP adapter is a dual port adapter to connect a PC to two
separate networks. You can assign an IP address to each port.
After you physically install the AT-2911GP adapter on your Windows
operating system, you must install driver software. To install driver
software, see Chapter 3, “Installing the Driver Software” on page 35.
You do not need to install driver software for Linux system because
Linux has inbox drivers for the AT-2911GP adapters.
The AT-2911GP adapter is designed to connect a computer to the
Ethernet network using a fiber optic cable and a Powered Device (PD)
such as a Voice over IP (VoIP) phone, Wi-Fi access point, or security
camera, using a copper cable. In this setting, the adapter functions as a
bridge between the fiber port and copper port. Figure 2 on page 15
illustrates an example of a topology with VoIP phones.
Figure 2. Configuration Example
To use the AT-2911GP adapter to connect a VoIP phone as shown in
Figure 2, you must install the AT-MUX utility as well as driver software.
The AT-MUX utility bridges frames between the fiber optic port and copper
port. To install AT-MUX utility, see Chapter 4, “Installing the AT-MUX
Utility” on page 63.
To configure a VoIP phone system as shown in Figure 2, see Chapter 5,
“Configuring a VoIP Phone System” on page 75.

Figure 3. SC Fiber Optic Adapter
To connect the SC adapter to a network cable, you must have a fiber optic
network cable with the SC connector.
The AT-2911GP/SXLC and AT-2911GP/LXLC adapter cards are equipped
with a 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX port with the LC adapter.
The LC fiber optic adapter is shown in Figure 4.

LED The AT-2911GP adapter card comes with two LED’s built into the copper
port as shown in Figure 7. The LED away from the fiber optic port indicates
the link and activity status of the copper port; the LED close to the fiber
optic port indicates the link and activity status of the fiber optic port.

Installing a Network Adapter Card
The following instructions apply to installing an AT-2911GP adapter card
in most systems. Refer to the manuals that were supplied with your
system for details about performing these tasks on your particular system.
To install the network adapter card, perform the following procedure:
1. Review the “Pre-Installation Checklist” on page 27 and “Reviewing
Safety Precautions” on page 25.
Before installing the adapter card, ensure the system power is OFF
and unplugged from the power outlet, and that proper electrical
