Chapter 1: Overview

eco-friendly Button

The eco-friendly button on the front panel of the switch is used to toggle the port LEDs on or off. You might turn off the LEDs to conserve electricity when you are not monitoring the device. You can also toggle the LEDs with the ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in the Global Configuration mode of the command line interface. The switch is said to be operating in a low power mode when the LEDs are turned off.

Operating the switch in the low power mode with the LEDs turned off does not interfere with the network operations of the device.

The management software on the switch has a command that blinks the LEDs so that you can quickly and easily identify a specific unit among the devices in an equipment rack. It is the FINDME command. The command works on the switch even if you turned off the LEDs with the eco-friendly button or NO ECOFRIENDLY LED command.

The Switch ID LED is always on, but it displays different information depending on whether the LEDs are on or off. When the LEDs are on, the ID LED displays the ID number of the switch. When the switch is operating in the low power mode with the LEDs off, the ID LED indicates whether the switch is a stand-alone unit or the master or member switch of a VCStack, as detailed in Figure 12 on page 40.

Note

Before checking or troubleshooting the network connections to the ports on the switch, you should always check to be sure that the LEDs are on by either pressing the eco-friendly button or issuing the ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in the Global Configuration mode of the command line interface.

AT-X510-28GPX, AT-X510-28GSX, AT-X510-52GPX, AT-X510-28GTX, AT-X510-52GTX specifications

Allied Telesis has made significant strides in network infrastructure solutions with its AT-X510 series of managed Ethernet switches. The series includes models such as the AT-X510-28GTX, AT-X510-28GPX, AT-X510-52GTX, AT-X510-28GSX, and AT-X510-52GPX. These switches combine performance, flexibility, and ease of management to meet the demands of various networking environments.

One of the standout features of the AT-X510 series is its robust performance capabilities. These switches are equipped with advanced Layer 2 switching functionalities that support a range of protocols and enhance overall network efficiency. With high forwarding capacities, they ensure that data is transmitted quickly, making them ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video conferencing and cloud services.

Another significant advantage of the AT-X510 series is Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, particularly in the GPX and GSX models. This feature allows the switches to deliver power to connected devices like IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. This consolidates cabling, simplifies installation, and enhances flexibility in device placement.

The AT-X510 switches also incorporate advanced security functionalities like IEEE 802.1X port-based access control, which ensures that only authorized devices can connect to the network. This is particularly critical in environments where data security is a top priority. Additionally, the switches support VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), which help isolate network traffic, enhance performance, and provide an additional layer of security.

Management and configuration of the AT-X510 series are streamlined through an intuitive web-based interface and support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This simplifies monitoring and troubleshooting, allowing administrators to manage the network efficiently without extensive training.

The hardware design of the AT-X510 series is also worth noting. Built with reliability in mind, these switches come with redundant power supply options, ensuring continued operation during power failures. The fanless design in some models also contributes to quieter operation, making them suitable for office environments.

Overall, the Allied Telesis AT-X510 series, including the AT-X510-28GTX, AT-X510-28GPX, AT-X510-52GTX, AT-X510-28GSX, and AT-X510-52GPX, offers a compelling combination of performance, flexibility, and security. These switches cater to the needs of modern networks, allowing businesses to build efficient, secure, and well-managed network infrastructures.
