Overview
When you install the AT-2711 series adapter card on your computer, your 
next step is to install driver software onto your Windows operating system. 
You can install driver software using Device Manager or using the silent 
installation method.
When you install deriver software using Device Manager, the dialog boxes 
guide you through the installation process. On the other hand, using the 
silent installation method, you can install software without constant 
interactions by suppressing dialog boxes.
