Chapter 1 Product Description Overview This chapter describes the features of the following unmanaged Ethernet and Fast Ethernet switches: ❑ AT-RS710TX ❑ AT-RS718TX ❑ AT-FS708 Each switch model is described in Table 1: Table 1: Switch Models and Port Description Model AT-RS710TX Description Eight 10 Mbps twisted pair RJ45 ports (Ports 1 through 8) Two auto-negotiating 10/100Mbps twisted pair RJ45 ports (Ports A and B) One media-dependent interface (MDI) button on Port A One MDI button on Port 8 Tot
Product Description Table 1: Switch Models and Port Description (Continued) Model AT-FS708 Description Eight auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps twisted pair RJ45 ports One MDI button on Port 8 Total bandwidth of 800 Mbps Note For definitions of technical terms associated with Allied Telesyn’s products, refer to the Glossary on Allied Telesyn’s website at www.alliedtelesyn.com. Common Major Features These switches come with the following common features: ❑ IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.
AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the front panels of the AT-RS710TX and the AT-RS718TX, respectively. The sample rear panel in Figure 3 shows the DIP switches present in these models for setting each 10 Mbps port to either half or full duplex transmission.
Product Description Figure 4 shows the front and rear panel of the AT-FS708. Since all ports on this model are capable of sensing full or half duplex transmission, there are no DIP switches.
AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide Note Since Ports A and B are capable of auto-negotiation, they have no associated DIP switches. The same reasoning applies to all eight ports on the AT-FS708 switch. More details are provided in Chapter 2. Connectors Table 2 lists and defines the type of connectors available and their function.
Product Description Front Panel LEDs Figure 5 and Figure 6 illustrate front panel LEDs of the RS7 and FS7 models. These two models of switches slightly vary on the LEDs. Table 3 lists and describes these LEDs.

AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide Table 3: LED Status LEDs Color 100M Green Description Off means the bandwidth is 10 Mbps. On means the bandwidth is 100 Mbps. Applies to Ports A and B on the AT-RS710TX and the AT-RS718TX and to all ports on the AT-FS708. COLLISION Amber Blinking indicates the port is detecting a collision. Applies to half duplex transmission only. Intermittent collisions are normal. FULL DUPLEX Green On indicates full duplex transmission.
Product Description Table 4: MDI Button Positions Position In Label Use To PC To connect a hub or another switch to the port To HUB To connect a DTE to the port Out Power Supply The switches use a 40W universal internal switching power supply with 100 to 120 VAC, or 200 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz input rating. Allied Telesyn ships power cords with the units to the U.S., Continental Europe, the U.K., and Australia. Required Voltage The switches require input of 100 to 240 VAC.
AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide The auto-negotiation protocol also includes automatic sensing of a port’s duplex mode, allowing auto-negotiation-capable end-system devices to not only configure the speed but also change to full duplex for even higher traffic throughput. This is particularly useful in environments where NICs are being replaced or desktop workstations are moved.
Chapter 2 Installation Before you Proceed Before installing the switch, make sure you read “Electrical Safety and Installation Requirements” on page iii.
Installation Site Requirements Make sure you observe the following site requirements: ❑ Make sure you are placing the switch in a dust-free and moisture-free environment. ❑ Do not block ventilation openings on the unit. ❑ Make sure that the switch’s power is accessible and cables can be connected easily. ❑ Cabling should be away from sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent fixtures. ❑ Do not place objects on top of the switch.
AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide Rackmount Installation You will need a Phillips screwdriver for this installation. Caution Do not use power tools to perform this installation. 1. If previously attached, remove the rubber feet and all cables and power cord from the switch. 2. Attach the rackmounting brackets to each side of the switch, using the 8 small screws provided (4 on each side). See Figure 7.
Installation MDI Button Setting Specific ports on the switch are associated with MDI buttons for uplink (hub or switch) or DTE (end station or server) connectivity. If you are using these ports, use Table 5 to guide you on how to use the MDI buttons on your switch.
AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide Full/Half Duplex Setting You can configure each 10 Mbps port on the following switch models for full or half duplex transmission: ❑ AT-RS718TX, ports 1-16 ❑ AT-RS710TX, ports 1-8 The DIP switches are located in the rear panel and are set in the factory for half duplex. Each numbered DIP switch corresponds to the 10 Mbps port on the front panel. Figure 8 shows a close-up of the AT-RS710TX’s rear panel as an example.
Installation Standalone Configuration In a standalone configuration, the switch supports up to 10 or 18 network nodes, depending on the model. Figure 9 shows an 8-port switch connected to end stations and a server. The basic physical connection for this configuration requires connecting one of the switch’s ports to the adapter card of an end station.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting This chapter describes the procedures to test and troubleshoot the switches. Connectivity Testing In the following procedure, you will test each port for a valid connection and to confirm the correct operation of the network. 1. Start with Ports 1 and 2. Connect these two ports of a single switch to two nodes or workstations and turn on the switch power supply. 2. Make sure the Link/Activity and other LEDs of both switch ports are lit. 3.
Troubleshooting Problem Solving Is the unit receiving power? Check the POWER LED on the front of the switch. This green LED should be lit. If the power LED is not on: 1. Check the back of the unit. Make sure the power switch is in the 1 position. 2. Check both ends of the AC power cord. Make sure the power cord is plugged into a functioning wall outlet and that it is properly inserted into the switch’s power connector on the back of the unit.
AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide 3. Problem 3: The MDI button is in the wrong setting. ❑ 4. Solution 3: — When using the cascade port of the switch, you should set the button to the To HUB position; otherwise, the switch should be in the To PC position. — When cascading two switches, the unit using the cascade port should have the button set to the To HUB position, while the other unit should have its switch set to To PC.
