Functional Descriptions
Both the AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2912T adapters feature in-built
cryptographic processors that take over a number of data encryption and
decryption functions within the hardware, releasing the host CPU to
perform other tasks. This ensures the highest possible speeds when
transmitting or receiving secure data, with no compromise on data security
or host system performance.
As part of the company’s green range, both products are engineered to
reduce power consumption. They incorporate centralized power
management features that automatically place idle circuitry into a lower
power mode to save energy and battery life in a laptop.
This section provides functional descriptions of the AT-2712FX/SC and
AT-2912T adapters.
AT-2712FX/SC
Adapter
The AT-2712FX/SC adapter connects a PCI-E compliant server or
workstation to a Fast Ethernet network using fiber optic cabling and a
connector that meets 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm multimode specifications.
This adapter operates at speeds of 100 Mbps in both full-duplex and half-
duplex modes.
The AT-2712FX/SC adapter has an SC connector, as show in Figure 1.
