Allied Telesis AT-8000S Switch

Switch Installation Guide

To connect a terminal to the device Console port, perform the following:

1.Connect a cable to the terminal running VT100 terminal emulation software.

2.Ensure that the terminal emulation software is set as follows:

a)Select the appropriate port to connect to the device.

b)Set the data rate to 115,200 baud.

c)Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

d)Set flow control to none.

e)Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.

f)Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that the setting is for Terminal keys (not Windows keys).

Note

When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft Windows 2000, ensure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed. With Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, the arrow keys function properly in HyperTerminal’s VT100 emulation. Go to www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service packs.

3.Connect the cable to the console port on the device front panel.

AC Power Connection

To connect the power supply perform the following:

1.Using a 5-foot (1.5 m) standard power cable with safety ground connected, insert the power cable to the AC main socket located on the back panel.

2.Connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

3.Confirm that the device is connected and operating by checking that the Power Supply LED on the front panel is green.

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.
