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.
