Installing the Driver Software

After you install an Allied Telesis AT-2812FX module in your laptop, the
system detects the new hardware and creates an entry in the Device
Manager when the Windows 7 Operating system first boots up. Shortly
after you log in, you need to install the driver software for the AT-2812FX
module. To install or update the driver software, you must have
administrative privileges.
