AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Updating the AT-S63 Management Software If you need to upgrade the management software on the switch, perform the instructions in this section. If the switch already has the correct version of the management software, go to the next section. These instructions use Xmodem to transfer the new management software to the switch. If you prefer, you can download the file using TFTP. For instructions, refer to the AT-S63 Management Software User’s Guides.
Chapter 3: Preparing the Switches Assigning the Static Module ID Number 1 to the Master Switch This procedure explains how to assign the static module ID number 1 to the master switch of the stack. If the switch will be a member switch, go to the next procedure for instructions on how to assign it a stack ID number. This procedure assumes that you have already established a local management session with the device that is to be the master switch of the stack.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Table 9. SHOW STACK Command Field Description Stack Mode The assignment method of the module ID number. Auto means the number was assigned dynamically by the management software when the switch was powered on. Static means the number was assigned with the SET STACK command. Stack ID The switch’s current module ID number. Stack Priority The switch’s current stack priority value, used to control dynamic module ID numbers.
Chapter 3: Preparing the Switches 3. The new module ID number does not take affect until the switch is reset. Reset the unit with this command: restart reboot 4. Wait for the switch to reset and afterwards reestablish the management session by logging in again. 5. Enter the following command again to verify the switch’s stack ID assignment: show stack 6. Verify that the Stack Mode is Static and the Stack ID is 1. If the values are correct, go to the next step.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Assigning Static Module ID Numbers to the Member Switches This procedure is used to assign a static ID number to a member switch of the stack. It must be performed on a switch before the cables are connected to the AT-StackXG Stacking Module. This procedure assumes that you have already established a local management session to the device, as explained in “Starting a Local Management Session” on page 50.
Chapter 3: Preparing the Switches 5. Enter the following command again to verify the switch’s stack ID assignment: show stack 6. Verify that Stack ID is showing the number you assigned the switch in step 2. If the value is correct, go to the next step. Otherwise, repeat the procedure starting with step 2. 7. Power off the switch. Repeat the procedures in this chapter on the other switches of the stack. Afterwards, go to the next chapter for instructions on how to cable and power on the stack.
Chapter 4 Cabling and Powering on the Stack The chapter contains the following procedures: “Cabling the AT-StackXG Stacking Modules” on page 60 “Powering On the Switches of the Stack” on page 63 “Verifying the Installation” on page 65 “Troubleshooting the Discovery Process” on page 67 59
Chapter 4: Cabling and Powering on the Stack Cabling the AT-StackXG Stacking Modules Note Allied Telesis recommends that during the initial installation you power off the switches before you attach the stacking cables. To connect the AT-StackXG/.5 Stacking Cables and the optional AT-StackXG/1 Stacking Cable to the stacking modules, perform the following procedure: 1. Remove the plastic protectors from the connectors on the AT-StackXG/.5 Stacking Cable shipped with the stacking module. Refer to Figure 24.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide 3. Connect the other end of the stacking cable to a Stack Port on the stacking module in the next switch of the stack. The cable connections must crossover to a different numbered port on the next stacking module. Stack Port 1 on a module must connect to Stack Port 2 on another module. Do not connect two Stack Port 1 ports or Stack Port 2 ports together. 4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 to cable the remaining switches of the stack with the AT-StackXG/.5 Stacking Cables.
Chapter 4: Cabling and Powering on the Stack Figure 27 illustrates a stack of four switches in the ring topology.

Example Stack of Four Switches in the Ring Topology 6. Go to the next procedure to apply power to the switches of the stack.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Powering On the Switches of the Stack After cabling the stacking modules, apply power to the switches of the stack by connecting the power cords. The switches of a stack can be powered on in any order. The units initialize their management software, which takes about one minute, and afterwards perform the discovery process.
Chapter 4: Cabling and Powering on the Stack The master switch then configures the devices with the commands in the active configuration file in its file system. If this is the first time the stack is booted up, you will see the messages in Figure 30. Configuring the Stack............................. done! Reinitializing Software Modules .................. done! Configuration file "stack.cfg" not found! Loading default configuration ........ done! Figure 30.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Verifying the Installation To verify the installation of the stack, perform the following procedure: 1. After powering on the stack, wait a least two minutes to give the switches sufficient time to initialize their management software and to complete the discovery process. 2. Examine the Stack MSTR LED on the front panel of the switch labeled 1. As the master switch of the stack, its Stack MSTR LED should be green.
Chapter 4: Cabling and Powering on the Stack 5. Match the entries in the table with the switches in the equipment rack by referring to the labels on the front panels of the units. The ID number and MAC address on a switch’s label should match the unit’s entry in the table. For example, the switch labelled 2 and assigned the static module ID number 2 should correspond to Module 2 in the table. If there is a mismatch, you may have assigned the wrong module ID number to a switch.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Troubleshooting the Discovery Process The easiest way to troubleshoot a stack that cannot complete the discovery process is by watching for error messages on the Terminal Port of the master switch. Here are the steps: 1. Connect a terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the Terminal Port on the master switch, as explained in “Starting a Local Management Session” on page 50. 2. Power on all the switches in the stack.
Chapter 4: Cabling and Powering on the Stack If the master switch successfully completes the discovery process but the SHOW STACK command does not display all of the switches in the stack, try the following: 68 Verify that all of the switches are powered on. Verify that all of the switches are using the same version of the AT-S63 Management Software. For instructions, refer to “Verifying the AT-S63 Version Number” on page 52.
Chapter 5 Cabling the Network Ports This chapter contains the instructions that explain how to connect the network cables to the ports on the switches in the stack.
Chapter 5: Cabling the Network Ports Installing Optional Transceivers Review the following guidelines before installing an optional SFP or XFP transceiver in a switch: A transceiver can be hot-swapped; the switch can be powered on when you install it. However, you should always disconnect the cables first before removing a transceiver. You must install the transceiver before you connect the cables to it. Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Figure 32. Removing a Dust Plug for an SFP Slot 2. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the packaging material in a safe location. 3. Position the transceiver with the label facing up. 4. Slide the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Figure 33. Installing an SFP Transceiver 5. Verify that the handle on the SFP transceiver is in the upright position to secure the module in the slot, as shown in Figure 34.

Chapter 5: Cabling the Network Ports Cabling the Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Ports Observe the following guidelines when connecting a twisted pair or fiber optic cable to a port on the switch: The connector on the cable should fit snugly into the port on the switch. The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place. Because the twisted pair ports on the switch are auto-MDI/MDI-X, you can use a straight-through twisted pair cable to connect any type of network device to a port.
Chapter 6 Adding and Removing Switches The procedures in this chapter explain how to add and remove switches from a stack.
Chapter 6: Adding and Removing Switches Replacing the Master Switch This procedure is divided into the following phases: Phase 1: “Uploading the Active Configuration File” on page 76 Phase 2: “Removing the Current Master Switch” on page 77 Phase 3: “Configuring the New Master Switch” on page 82 Phase 4: “Connecting the New Master Switch to the Stack” on page 84 The phases should be performed in the order presented here.

AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide 4. After the switch initializes its management software, start a local management session, as explained in “Starting a Local Management Session” on page 50. 5. Since this switch will be the master switch of the stack, you have to assign it the static module ID number 1. For instructions, refer to “Assigning the Static Module ID Number 1 to the Master Switch” on page 54. 6.
Chapter 6: Adding and Removing Switches Note Do not issue the SAVE CONFIGURATION command. If you do, the switch will overwrite all of the settings in the configuration file with its current settings. If you inadvertently enter the command, download the file again from your workstation by performing step 7. 9. To verify the new active configuration file, enter the SHOW CONFIG command. The “Boot configuration file” field should contain the name of the configuration file you designated in the previous step.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Adding a New Member Switch Table 10 lists the steps to add a new member switch to a stack. Table 10. Adding a New Member Switch to a Stack Task Procedure 1 Before a new switch is added to a stack, you should first verify that the addition of the new member will not exceed the maximum permitted size of a stack. “Maximum Number of Switches in a Stack” on page 37 2 Install the AT-StackXG Stacking Module in the new switch.
Chapter 6: Adding and Removing Switches Table 10. Adding a New Member Switch to a Stack Task Procedure 9 Verify that the new switch has the correct version of the AT-S63 Management Software. It has to be Version 3.0.0 or later and it has to be the same version as the management software on the other switches. (If you do not know the version number of the management software on the stack, start a local or remote management session on the stack. The version number is displayed in the window.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Replacing a Member Switch Table 11 lists the steps to replace a member switch in a stack. Table 11. Replacing a Member Switch in a Stack Task Procedure 1 Power off the stack. 2 Label and disconnect all of the network cables from the switch you are replacing and remove the unit from the equipment rack. The steps for a member switch are the same as those for the master switch.
Chapter 6: Adding and Removing Switches Table 11. Replacing a Member Switch in a Stack Task Procedure 11 Assign the new switch the stack ID number of the replaced unit. “Assigning Static Module ID Numbers to the Member Switches” on page 57 12 Power off the switch by disconnecting the power cord from the power source and from the back panel of the unit. -- 13 Connect the replacement switch to the stack by cabling the AT-StackXG Stacking Module.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting This chapter contains information about how to troubleshoot a switch in the event a problem occurs.
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting No Master Switch After powering on the switches of a stack and waiting two to three minutes for the stack to complete the discovery process, you observe that the Stack MSTR LEDs on the front panels on all the switches are off. This could indicate that the discovery process encountered a problem that prevented the stack from selecting a master switch. For suggestions on resolving the problem, refer to “Troubleshooting the Discovery Process” on page 67.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Power LED is Off Check the PWR LED on the front of the switch. If the LED is off, indicating that the unit is not receiving power, do the following: Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the power source and to the AC connector on the back panel of the switch. Verify that the power outlet has power by connecting another device to it. Try connecting the unit to another power source. Try using a different power cord.
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting Twisted Pair Port Link LED is Off When a twisted pair port on the switch is connected to a properly operating end node, the Link LED for the port should be on. If a Link LED is off, do the following: Note A 1000Base-T connection can take from five to ten seconds to establish a link. Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered ON and is operating properly.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Fiber Optic Port Link LED is Off When a fiber optic port on the switch is connected to a properly operating end node, the Link LED for the port should be on. If a Link LED is off, do the following: Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered ON and is operating properly. Check that the fiber optic cable is securely connected to the port on the switch and the port on the end node.
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting Transceiver is Installed but the Status is “Not Present” If an SFP or XFP transceiver is installed in a transceiver slot but the Uplink Information menu in the AT-S63 Management Software interface displays “Not Present” for that port, do the following: Verify that the transceiver is completely inserted in the slot on the front of the switch. Note The uplink status does not reflect whether a fiber optic cable is connected to the transceiver.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide System Fault LED is Blinking If the system FAULT LED is blinking, no action is required. A blinking FAULT LED indicates that the switch is downloading a new version of the management software or is updating the active boot configuration file. The LED stops blinking after the switch has downloaded the new management software or updated the boot configuration file.
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting System Fault LED is Steadily On If the system FAULT LED is steadily on, a problem has occurred in the switch. Do the following: Try resetting the switch by disconnecting and reconnecting the AC power cord. If the FAULT LED remains ON, try downloading a new version of the switch’s management software. For instructions, refer to the AT-S63 Management Software Command Line User’s Guide.
AT-9400Ts Stack Installation Guide Cannot Establish a Local (Out-of-Band) Management Session If you are unable to establish a local (out-of-band) management session through the Terminal Port on the master switch of the stack, do the following: Check to be sure that the RJ-45 serial management cable is securely connected to the serial terminal port on the switch and to the RS-232 port on the terminal or personal computer.
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting Switch Functions Intermittently If a switch functions intermittently, check the system hardware status through the management software: 98 Note the current voltage for the power supply compared to the optimum rating. Verify that the system temperature is within the operating range.
