Fault — Indicates that the device has detected a fault on the powered device. For example, the powered device memory could not be read.

Nominal Power — Indicates the actual amount of power the device can supply. The field value is displayed in Watts.

Consumed Power — Indicates the amount of the power used by the device. The field value is displayed in Watts.

System Usage Threshold — Indicates the percentage of power consumed before an alarm is generated. The value range is 1-100 percent; the default value is 95 percent. At the default setting of 95%, the threshold is exceeded when the PoE devices require more than 380 W, which is 95% of 400 W.

Traps — Indicate if PoE device traps are enabled.

The Zoom View shows device ports and indicators of current PoE port status. The possible port settings are:

Port is active — Indicates the port is linked.

Port is inactive — Indicates the port is not linked.

Port is disabled — Indicates the port is disabled.

Port is selected — Indicates the port is selected.

2.Click the ports to enable. Clicking a port toggles it through the possible settings.

3.Define the fields.

4.Click Apply. PoE is enabled on the device and global settings are saved. The new threshold is immediately activated on the device.

5.Click Save Config on the menu to permanently save the change.

AT-8000S specifications

The Allied Telesis AT-8000S series switches are a range of advanced Layer 2 Ethernet switches designed for efficient networking in various environments. Engineered with performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in mind, these switches are ideal for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure.

One of the main features of the AT-8000S series is its high-speed data forwarding capabilities. With support for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, these switches provide fast and reliable connections, enabling seamless data transfer and enhanced communication between devices. The non-blocking switching architecture ensures that full bandwidth is available at all times, maximizing throughput and reducing latency in network traffic.

The AT-8000S series incorporates advanced Layer 2 switching technologies, such as VLAN support, allowing users to segment network traffic for improved performance and security. Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) help isolate sensitive data and reduce unnecessary broadcast traffic, enhancing the overall performance of the network.

Quality of Service (QoS) is another significant feature integrated into these switches, prioritizing different classes of network traffic. This functionality ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and minimal latency, which is imperative for voice over IP, video conferencing, and other latency-sensitive applications.

In terms of network management, the AT-8000S series provides a variety of options, including an intuitive web-based interface, SNMP support, and the ability to manage switch configurations through console access. This flexibility allows network administrators to monitor performance and manage configurations easily.

The switches are built for durability, featuring a robust design suitable for deployment in various environments, including temperature-sensitive areas. Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability is also available in certain models, allowing network devices like IP cameras and wireless access points to receive power through the same cable as data, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.

Allied Telesis emphasizes security within the AT-8000S series, with features such as port security, DHCP snooping, and IEEE 802.1X authentication to safeguard against unauthorized access and potential threats.

Overall, the Allied Telesis AT-8000S series provides a comprehensive networking solution tailored for modern business needs, combining performance, flexibility, and security to support a growing array of applications and devices within the network.
