2914 Series Fiber Network Adapters with WoL Installation and User’s Guide

Description

The 2914 fiber network adapter series is a 100/1000Mb Ethernet PCI Express (PCIe) card equipped with one fiber optic port or SFP slot. The AT-2914GP/SP model comes with one copper port with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability in addition to the SFP fiber slot.

The 2914 network adapters support the Wake-on-LAN (WoL) feature. 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.

The AT-2914SX/SC and AT-2914SX/LC models are Gigabit Ethernet network adapters operating at 1000Mbps. The AT-2914SP and AT-2914GP/SP models can operate at 100Mbps or 1000Mbps depending on the SFP type in use. The copper port on the AT-2914GP/SP model can operate at 10, 100, or 1000Mbps.

If you installed the network adapter on your Windows platform, you must install network adapter driver software. For instructions, see Chapter 3, “Installing the Driver Software” on page 43.

Note

You do not need to install network adapter driver software for Linux systems because Linux has inbox drivers for the network adapters.

The AT-2914GP/SP Network Adapter

The AT-2914GP/SP network adapter is equipped with an SFP slot and a twisted pair copper port with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability. The adapter can supply power to the PoE+ copper port from the PCIe slot or an optional external power supply, the AT-2914GP-PSU unit. See Figure 7.

Power over

Ethernet (PoE)

Figure 7. AT-2914GP/SP Adapter and AT-2914GP-PSU Product

The network adapter is used as a bridge that connects two ports on the adapter to the same network. The adapter appears to the PC as a single port network adapter, like other 2914 series adapters. The data from the copper port and the PC is routed directly to the fiber port without any interaction from the system.

Optional configurable VLAN ID's can be used to tag and segregate the packets egressing onto the fiber connection. For more information, see Chapter 4, “Configuring the VLAN and Priority” on page 55.

PoE is a system that supports power along with data using a single Ethernet cable. Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) is a PoE standard for devices that provide power up to 25.5 watts. The AT-2914GP/SP network adapter with the AT-2914GP-PSU supports PoE+.

Chapter 1: Introduction

AT-2914GP-PSU

Power Cord

When the optional AT-2914GP-PSU power cord is plugged into an AC power supply and connected to the AT-2914GP/SP adapter, the adapter can provide a Powered Device (PD) connected to the adapter through the copper port up to 25.5W of power.

Without the AT-2914GP-PSU power supply unit, the AT-2914GP/SP adapter provides the PD with limited power, depending on the capability of the system's PCIe 12V power rail. It is typically 10-15W; however, verify your system's specifications and derate by 20% for planning purposes.

In addition to providing more power to the PD, with the AT-2914GP-PSU power supply unit, the adapter allows communications even when the system where the AT-2914GP/SP adapter is installed is powered off.

When the AT-2914GP-PSU power supply unit is present, the AT-2914GP/SP adapter uses the power supply unit to provide power to the PD and does not use 12V power from the PCIe slot.

Console Port The AT-2914GP/SP network adapter is equipped with a USB Micro-B

receptacle that functions as a Console port. By connecting the adapter and your management PC to the Console port, you can access the Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage the VLAN and priority of the adapter.

Bridge to

Connect Two

Ports to One

Network

The AT-2914GP/SP adapter is designed to connect a PC and a PoE powered device to an Ethernet network. A PoE powered device can be a Voice over IP (VoIP) phone, Wi-Fi access point, or security camera. The adapter functions as a bridge between the fiber port and copper port, while also using the fiber port for PC communication. Figure 8 illustrates an example of a topology with VoIP phones.

Figure 8. VoIP System Configuration as an Example

2914 Series Fiber Network Adapters with WoL Installation and User’s Guide

The AT-2914GP/SP adapter can be used to add VLAN & QoS Priority tags to the phone and/or PC data traffic.

To add VLAN & QoS Priority tags, see Chapter 4, “Configuring the VLAN and Priority” on page 55. To use the AT-2914GP/SP adapter as a bridge to connect two ports to one network, see Chapter 5, “Configuring a VoIP Phone System” on page 65 as an example.

Configuring a VoIP Phone System

This chapter describes how to configure a VoIP phone system using the AT-2914GP/SP network adapter. It contains the following topics:

 “Overview” on page 66

 “Configuring VLAN Tagging on Adapter Ports” on page 67

2914 Series Fiber Network Adapters with WoL Installation and User’s Guide

Overview

The AT-2914GP/SP network adapter is installed on a PC and connects the PC to the Ethernet network through the fiber optic port and a Powered Device (PD) through the PoE+ copper port. A PD is a device powered through an Ethernet cable by a Power Supply Equipment (PSE). A PC with the AT-2914GP/SP network adapter is a PSE; a VoIP phone, Wi-Fi access point, and security camera are PD’s.

Figure 28 illustrates the configuration of the PC’s and VoIP phones as an example using the AT-2914GP/SP network adapters.

Figure 28. VoIP Phone Configuration Example

When you connect VoIP phones to your network through PCs, you should separate voice traffic from data traffic using VLAN because voice traffic must have higher priority over other types of traffic.

When VLAN’s are enabled and configured, incoming traffic on the fiber link are routed to the copper port or the PC, depending on the VLAN ID in the frames. Tagged frames with unmatched VLAN ID and untagged frames are discarded. Outbound traffic from the PC and VoIP phone are sent to the switch on the fiber link.

In the Figure 28, you assign the VLAN ID 150 and QoS 5 to VoIP voice traffic from the copper port and the VLAN ID 10 and QoS 0 to the PC traffic. The voice traffic has the higher priority (QoS 5) than the PC traffic (QoS 0).

When frames from the copper port does not have a VLAN ID assigned, these frames remain untagged when they arrive at the switch. For more tagging examples, See “Configuring VLAN Tagging on Adapter Ports” on page 67.

To assign a VLAN ID and priority for the PC traffic and traffic from the copper port, see Chapter 4, “Configuring the VLAN and Priority” on page

55.

Configuring VLAN Tagging on Adapter Ports

To separate voice traffic coming from the VoIP phone from data traffic from the PC, several combinations of VLAN tagging settings are possible.

Chapter 5: Configuring a VoIP Phone System

VLAN Tagging

Combinations

Figure 29 illustrates possible VLAN tagging combinations. In this example, voice frames belong to the VLAN 150 and data frames belong to the VLAN 10 except Config. 3.

Non-VLAN Application

Some VoIP phones are capable of VLAN tagging. In Config 1 using a VLAN-capable VoIP phone, you may assign the VLAN ID 150 using the VoIP phone setting. Voice frames get the VLAN tagged at the phone, are sent to the copper port and transmitted to the switch through the fiber port. The voice frames and VLAN tags are unchanged by the AT-2914GP/SP adapter.

You can assign a VLAN ID to the PC traffic using the adapter’s Advanced Properties; however, when voice frames are tagged at the VoIP phone, do not enable VLAN via the AT-2914GP/SP adapter’s CLI.

Config 2 is a configuration when a VoIP phone is not capable of VLAN tagging, or you prefer to set up VLAN's at the network adapter. You can assign the VLAN ID 150 to the copper port via the adapter’s CLI. Voice frames from the VoIP phone get tagged when they arrive at the copper port and are sent to the switch through the fiber optic port. The voice frames are unchanged by the AT-2914GP/SP adapter. The VLAN ID 10 is added to PC traffic as they are sent out the fiber link.

You can leave the PC traffic and traffic from the VoIP phone untagged as with Config 3.
