Installation Guide

Chapter 5. Troubleshooting

This chapter contains information on how to troubleshoot the switch in the event that a problem occurs.

Note

If you are still unable to resolve the problem after following the instructions in this chapter, contact ATI Technical Support for assistance.

Device not operating correctly

Check the PWR LED on the front of the switch. If the LED is OFF, indicating that the unit is not receiving power, do the following:

Ensure that the power cord is securely connected to the power source and to the AC connector on the back panel of the switch.

Verify that the power outlet has power by connecting another device to it.

Try connecting the unit to another power source.

Try using a different power cord.

Verify that the voltage from the power source is within the required levels for your region.

Verify that the LNK/ACT LED for each port is ON. If a LNK/ACT LED is OFF, do the following:

Verify that the end-node connected to the port is powered ON and is operating properly.

Verify that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port on the switch and to the port on the end- node.

Ensure that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

Verify that you are using Category 5 twisted pair cable.

Cannot connect using Telnet, Web browser, or SNMP software

Be sure the switch is powered up.

Check network cabling between the management station and the switch.

Check that you have a valid network connection to the switch and that the port you are using has not been disabled.

Be sure you have configured the VLAN interface through which the management station is connected with a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.

Be sure the management station has an IP address in the same subnet as the switch’s IP interface to which it is connected.

If you are trying to connect to the switch via the IP address for a tagged VLAN group, your management station, and the ports connecting intermediate switches in the network, must be configured with the appropriate tag.

If you cannot connect using Telnet, you may have exceeded the maximum number of concurrent Telnet/SSH sessions permitted. Try connecting again at a later time.

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.
