Model Naming Conventions for the Twisted Pair 8100L and 8100S Series Switches The conventions are defined in Table 5. Table 5.
Chapter 1: Overview The conventions are defined in Table 6. Table 6. Model Naming Conventions for the Fiber Optic 8100S Series Switches Convention 34 Definition 1 This is the product name. 2 The letter “S” indicates that the model is stackable. 3 This is the number of 100Base-FX fiber optic ports. 4 The letter “F” signifies fiber optic. 5 This is the number of 10/100Base-TX ports. The fiber optic switches that have 10/100Base-TX ports are the AT-8100S/16F8-SC and AT-8100S/16F8-LC Switches.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches 10/100Base-TX Twisted Pair Ports The switches have 8, 24, or 48 10/100Base-TX ports. Speed Duplex Mode The ports can operate at either 10 or 100 Mbps. The speeds may be set manually using the management software or automatically with AutoNegotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting. The twisted pair ports can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode. The duplex mode determines the manner in which a port transmits data.
Chapter 1: Overview Maximum Distance Power Over Ethernet Cable Requirements The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The 10/100Base-TX ports on the AT-8100S/24POE and AT-8100S/ 48POE Switches support Power over Ethernet (PoE), which is a standard whereby DC power is provided by the switch to network devices over the network twisted pair cables. The switches support PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at).
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches 10/100/1000Base-T Twisted Pair Ports The switches have two 10/100/1000Base-T ports. These ports are paired with SFP slots to form combo ports. Speed The ports can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speeds may be set manually using the management software or automatically with AutoNegotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting. Note The ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation to function at 1000 Mbps.
Chapter 1: Overview The MDI and MDI-X settings do not apply when the ports are operating at 1000 Mbps. Maximum Distance Power Over Ethernet Cable Requirements The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the AT-8100L/8POE, AT-8100S/24POE and AT-8100S/48POE Switches do not support PoE. The cable requirements of the ports are given in Table 8. Table 8.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches SFP Slots The switches have two slots for 100Mbps 100Base-FX or 1000Mbps 1000Base-SX/LX fiber optic transceivers. The transceivers can be used to connect the switches to other network devices over large distances, build a high-speed backbone network between network devices, or connect high-speed devices, such as servers, to your network.
Chapter 1: Overview 40 Port speed is an exception to the shared settings of the twisted pair port and SFP slot of a combo port. If you disable Auto-Negotiation on the twisted pair port and set the speed and duplex mode manually, the switch reactivates it when an SFP module establishes a link with an end node.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches Power Over Ethernet The AT-8100L/8POE, AT-8100L/8POE-E, AT-8100S/24POE, and AT-8100S/48POE Switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the 10/ 100Base-TX ports. PoE is used to supply power to network devices over the same twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic. The main advantage of PoE is that it makes it easier to install a network.
Chapter 1: Overview Powered Device Classes Powered devices are grouped into the five classes listed in Table 10 on page 42. The classes are based on the amount of power the devices require. The switches support all five classes. Table 10. IEEE Powered Device Classes Class Power Budget Maximum Power Output from a Switch Port PD Power Range 0 15.4W 0.44W to 12.95W 1 4.0W 0.44W to 3.84W 2 7.0W 3.84W to 6.49W 3 15.4W 6.49W to 12.95W 4 30.0W 12.95W to 25.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches The switch can handle different power requirements on different ports. This enables you to connect different classes of PoE equipment to the ports on the switch. Port Prioritization If the power requirements of the powered devices exceed the switch’s power budget, the switch denies power to some ports based on a system called port prioritization.
Chapter 1: Overview Wiring Implementation The IEEE 802.3af standard defines two methods by which a PSE, such as the switch, can transmit DC power over twisted pair cables to PDs. These methods, known as modes A and B, identify the wire strands the switch should use when sending DC power to a PD. Twisted pair cabling typically consists of eight strands.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches Stacking Ports The 8100S Series switches may be used as stand-alone units or as part of a virtual stack in which the units are interconnected via the stacking ports on the front panels.
Chapter 1: Overview eco-friendly Button You may turn off the port LEDs to conserve electricity when you are not monitoring the switch. The LEDs may be toggled with the eco-friendly button on the front panel of the switch or the ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in the Global Configuration mode of the command line interface. Toggling the LEDs on and off does not interfere with the network operations of the device. The Stack ID LED is always on.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches LEDs Here are descriptions of the switch’s LEDs. 10/100Base-TX Twisted Pair Port LEDs The 10/100Base-TX twisted pair ports have link/activity and duplex mode LEDs.

Chapter 1: Overview Stack ID LED Figure 18. Stack ID LED The 8100L Series switches do not support stacking, but they have stack ID LEDs and can be assigned ID numbers because they have the same management software as the 8100S Series switches. Given that you cannot stack 8100L Series switches, the correct ID number for these units is always “0.” Refer to Chapter 5, “Powering On the Switch” on page 85 for the procedure on how to change the ID number of the switch.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches Console Port The Console port is used to configure the features and parameter settings of the switch. This type of management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local or out-of-band management because it is not conducted over your network. To perform local management, you must be at the location of the switch and must use the management cable included with the switch.
Chapter 1: Overview Power Supplies The 8100L Series switches have one AC power supply. The 8100S Series switches have two AC or DC power supplies, except for the AT-8100S/ 24C Switch, which has one AC power supply. The supplies are not fieldreplaceable and each has a separate AC or DC connector on the back panels. Only one power supply is active at a time in non-PoE 8100S Series switches.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches Power Connectors The 8100S Series switches have two AC or DC power supply sockets on the back panels, except for the AT-8100S/24C Switch, which has one AC power supply socket. The 8100L Series switches have one AC power supply socket. AC switches are powered on or off by connecting or disconnecting the power cords.

Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches Powering On a DC Switch Perform this procedure to power on a DC 8100S Series switch: Warning As a safety precaution, install a circuit breaker with a minimum value of 15 Amps between the equipment and the DC power source. Always connect the wires to the LAN equipment first before you connect the wires to the circuit breaker. Do not work with HOT feeds to avoid the danger of physical injury from electrical shock.
Chapter 5: Powering On the Switch Positive Terminal Ground Terminal Negative Terminal Figure 37. DC Terminal Block 3. With a 14-gauge wire-stripping tool, strip the three wires in the tray cable coming from the DC input power source to 8mm 1mm (0.31 in., 0.039 in.), as shown in Figure 38 on page 92. Warning Do not strip more than the recommended amount of wire. Stripping more than the recommended amount can create a safety hazard by leaving exposed wire on the terminal block after installation.

Warning Check to see if there are any exposed copper strands coming from the installed wires. When this installation is done correctly there should be no exposed copper wire strands extending from the terminal block.
Chapter 5: Powering On the Switch computer with a terminal emulator program connected to the Console port on the switch, you will see the messages in Figure 35 on page 89 to Figure 36 on page 90. 11. Repeat this procedure to power on the second power supply. Warning This unit might have more than one power source. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all power cords before servicing the unit. E30 12. Go to “Setting the Stack ID Number” on page 95 to confirm the switch’s ID number.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches Setting the Stack ID Number After the switch has initialized its management software, examine the Stack ID LED on the front panel and do one of the following: If the LED is displaying “0,” the installation procedure is complete. The switch is now ready for network operations as a stand-alone unit.
Chapter 5: Powering On the Switch 2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or PC with a terminal emulator program. 3. Configure the terminal or terminal emulator program as follows: Baud rate: 9600 bps (The baud rate of the Console Port is adjustable from 1200 to 115200 bps. The default is 9600 bps.

Renumber and reboot system ? (y/n): Figure 43. STACK Command Confirmation Prompt Caution The STACK command resets the switch. If the switch is already connected to a live network, some network traffic may be lost. 4.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches Starting a Management Session You may use the following methods and tools to manage stand-alone 8100L and 8100S Series switches: Local Management Local management Telnet client Secure shell client HTTP non-secure and HTTPs secure Web browser SNMPv1, v2C, v3 Local management uses the Console port on the switch.
Chapter 5: Powering On the Switch Telnet management sessions are not secure and are vulnerable to snooping because the packets exchanged between the switch and your workstation are sent in plain text. The security of the switch may be jeopardized if an intruder captures the packet containing your userrname and password. For secure remote management, use the secure shell protocol.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches You need to assign your management workstation an IP address in the 169.254.n.n subnet or your workstation must have access to that subnet through routing devices. Refer to the AT-8100 Series AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface User’s Guide for instructions on how to configure the switch for secure HTTPS web browser management.
Chapter 5: Powering On the Switch For instructions on the command line interface and the PORT parameter, refer to the AT-8100 Series AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface User’s Guide.
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting This chapter contains suggestions on how to troubleshoot the switch if a problem occurs. Note For further assistance, please contact Allied Telesis Technical Support at www.alliedtelesis.com/support. Problem 1: The Stack ID LED on the front of the switch is off. Solutions: The unit is not receiving power. Try the following: Verify that the power cord is securely connected to the power source and to the AC connector on the back panel of the switch.
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting Verify that the network device connected to the twisted pair port is powered on and is operating properly. Try connecting another network device to the twisted pair port with a different cable. If the twisted pair port is able to establish a link, then the problem is with the cable or the other network device. Verify that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair cable.
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches Problem 5: Network performance between a twisted pair port on the switch and a network device is slow. Solution: There might be a duplex mode mismatch between the port and the network device. This occurs when a twisted pair port using AutoNegotiation is connected to a device with a fixed duplex mode of full duplex.
