Network Interface Cards
AT-2712FX
Secure Network Interface Card
AT-2712FX
100FX (SC), PCIe x 1, secure NIC
Overview
The AT-2712FX (available with SC connector)
Network Interface Card is an ideal fit for fiber
to the desktop networks that depend on
secure and reliable systems. With a small form
factor PCIe x1 bus the AT-2712FX is an ideal fit
for government, education or other networks
dependent on highly secure capabilities.
Secure Connectivity Through Fiber
Allied Telesis’ AT-2712FX card is designed to
provide desktop computers with network
connections through a high-speed multi-mode
fiber-optic link with and SC interface.The 
AT-2712FX supports the Microsoft Windows
2003, XP and Vista operating systems, and is
compliant with industry standards.
Comprehensive Software Support
Allied Telesis’ AT-2712FX interface cards
feature software to assist users with network
setup and configurations. An offline user
diagnostics program provides system
administrators and engineers with a valuable
tool to analyze the interface card and check
data. Finally, the Broadcom Advance Control
Suite program simplifies controlling and
configuring all AT-2712FX cards.
Secure Encrypted Data Transmssion
IP Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols for
securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications
by authenticating and/or encrypting each IP
packet in a data stream.The cryptographic
algorithms that are used in IPSec operation are
computationally intensive, which can overwhelm
the host CPU at high network speeds.The 
AT-2712FX implements hardware that performs
these computationally intensive cryptographic
algorithms, which is known as IPSec task offload
v2. The AT-2712FX supports the transport
mode of IPSec Authentication Header (AH)
and Encapsulation Security Payload (ESP)
protocols for end-to-end security of packet
traffic. Simultaneous AH and ESP task offload is
also supported for up to 32 Security
Associations (SA).
DASH
The Desktop and mobile Architecture for
System Hardware (DASH) is a DMTF
management initiative that represents a suite of
specifications which standardize the
manageability interfaces for mobile and desktop
hardware.The DASH suite of specifications
defines the interfaces for management in the
form of protocols and profiles for representing
mobile and desktop hardware. Fundamental to
the DASH is the underlying goal to unify the
experience achieved through out-of-band
mechanisms with those available via the
operating system.
