Configuring Daylight Saving Time

To configure DST:

1.Click System > System Time. The System Time Page opens:

The Additional Time Parameters section of the System Time Page contains the following fields:

•Daylight Saving — Enables automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) on the device based on the device’s location. There are two types of daylight settings, either by a specific date in a particular year or a recurring setting irrespective of the year. For a specific setting in a particular year complete the Daylight Savings area, and for a recurring setting, complete the Recurring area. The possible field values are:

–USA — The device devices to DST at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of April, and reverts to standard time at 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October.

–European — The device devices to DST at 1:00 am on the last Sunday in March and reverts to standard time at 1:00 am on the last Sunday in October. The European option applies to EU members, and other European countries using the EU standard.

–Custom — The DST definitions are user-defined based on the device locality. If Custom is selected, the From and To fields must be defined.

•Time Set Offset — Used for non-USA and European countries to set the amount of time for DST (in minutes). The default time is 60 minutes. The range is 1-1440 minutes.

•From — Indicates the time that DST begins in countries other than the USA and Europe, in the format Day/ Month/Year in one field and HH:MM in another. For example, if DST begins on October 25, 2007 at 5:00 am, the two fields should be set to 25/Oct./07 and 05:00. The possible field values are:

–Date — The date on which DST begins. The possible field range is 1-31.

–Month — The month of the year in which DST begins. The possible field range is Jan.-Dec.

–Year — The year in which the configured DST begins.

–Time — The time at which DST begins. The field format is HH:MM. For example: 05:30.

•To — Indicates the time that DST ends in countries other than the USA and Europe, in the format Day/Month/ Year in one field and HH:MM in another. For example, if DST ends on March 23, 2008 at midnight, the two fields should be 23/Mar/08 and 00:00. The possible field values are:

–Date — The date on which DST ends. The possible field range is 1-31.

–Month — The month of the year in which DST ends. The possible field range is Jan-Dec.

–Year— The year in which the configured DST ends.

–Time — The time at which DST starts. The field format is HH:MM. For example: 05:30.

•Recurring — Enables user-defined DST for countries in which DST is constant from year to year, other than the USA and Europe.

•From — The time that DST begins each year. In the example, DST begins locally every first Sunday in April at midnight. The possible field values are:

–Day — The day of the week from which DST begins every year. The possible field range is Sunday- Saturday.

–Week — The week within the month from which DST begins every year. The possible field range is 1-5.

–Month — The month of the year in which DST begins every year. The possible field range is Jan.-Dec.

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.
