Chapter 1 Introduction The AT-8116 is a high-performance 10/100Mbps switch representing the next generation in switching technology. The AT-8116 employs highly-integrated ASIC technology and a Gigabit/sec backplane to significantly boost network performance. Its high density and performance combine with exceptional functionality, such as RMON support, VLAN capabilities and Full Duplex switching, to achieve optimal network switching without expensive changes to the desktop PC or cabling system.
Introduction Theory of Operation Ethernet segment switches divide a large local network into smaller segments, insulating each from the other’s local traffic and increasing aggregate bandwidth, while still retaining full connectivity. The AT8116 is designed to be self-configuring and extremely fast, making installation simple and providing an increase in available bandwidth. The switch learns on which port stations are located by remembering the source address of every packet received on every port.
AT-8116 Installation Guide Front Panel The front panel of the AT-8116 is illustrated below in Figure 2. The following tables describe its various LEDs and components and their functions.
Introduction Rear Panel The power connection and ON/OFF switch are located on the rear panel of the AT-8116. The two fan holes MUST be kept unobstructed. Power Connection Plug the power cord into an easily accessible outlet and turn on the ON/ OFF switch.
Chapter 2 Installation The AT-8116 can operate as a stand-alone unit or in conjunction with any of Allied Telesyn’s other Ethernet and Fast Ethernet offerings. It supports local and SNMP management. Verifying Package Contents ❑ AT-8116 Fast Ethernet Switch ❑ Power cord (for 110V units only) ❑ Rack-mounting brackets ❑ Null modem cable ❑ This installation guide Installing the AT-8116 This section outlines the installation and operation of the AT-8116. The AT-8116 comes as a 19” rack-mounted unit.
Installation Rack Mounting If rack-mounted units are installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, they may require further evaluation by certification agencies. The following items must be considered: 1. The ambient temperature within the rack may be greater than room ambient temperature. Installation should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised. The maximum temperature for equipment in this environment is 40°C.

Chapter 3 Applications and Configurations Applications A switch boosts network performance by segmenting a single large collision domain into smaller, separate collision domains and providing dedicated connections for intensive networks using work stations and servers. In addition, the Full Duplex capability of Ethernet switches permits connectivity for backbone applications or high throughput for high-performance dedicated servers.

AT-8116 Installation Guide Configuring Your Network Links Between Switches An Ethernet to Fast Ethernet switch offers the network administrator a possible upgrade path. At first, the switch can be used simply to segment the existing 10Mbps Ethernet, immediately boosting performance. Next, with the addition of a Fast Ethernet NIC, a file server can be migrated to Fast Ethernet, increasing its availability.
