Updating the Driver Software for Windows
To update the driver software, use the same procedure for installing the
driver software for the first time. The only difference between updating and
installing the driver software is the name of your adapter that Device
Manager detects and lists.
Device Manager lists your adapter card as Allied Telesis AT-2701F x Xv2
100Mb Fiber Ethernet once you installed the driver software. Before you
installed the driver software, Device Manager lists your adapter as
Ethernet Controller or a Realtek device. To obtain the latest driver
software from the Allied Telesis website, see “Downloading the Driver
Software for Windows” on page 35.
The procedures for installing the driver software are slightly different
among Windows operating systems. To install the driver software on your
