When you install the AT-2911GP 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.

Here are the guidelines for installing and updating the driver software on your operating system:

To install or update the driver software, you must have administrative privileges.

When you install AT-2911GP adapter card on your computer and start the system, the Windows system creates two Ethernet controller entries for fiber and copper interfaces if your system no driver is installed. You must install driver software for each entry.

When you install the AT-2911GP adapter card on your computer and start the system, the system detects a new adapter and may install a default driver. Or, the native Broadcom driver may be installed if your system has an onboard Broadcom network interface. In either case, you must update the driver software for the AT-2911GP adapter. See “Installing the Driver Using Device Manager”, or “Installing the Driver Using the Silent Installation Method”.
