Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches

Powering On a DC Switch

Perform this procedure to power on a DC 8100S Series switch:

Warning

As a safety precaution, install a circuit breaker with a minimum value of 15 Amps between the equipment and the DC power source.

Always connect the wires to the LAN equipment first before you connect the wires to the circuit breaker. Do not work with HOT feeds to avoid the danger of physical injury from electrical shock. Always be sure that the circuit breaker is in the OFF position before connecting the wires to the breaker.E9

Warning

For centralized DC power connection, install only in a restricted access area. E23

Note

A tray cable is required to connect the power source if the unit is powered by centralized DC power. The tray cable must be a UL listed Type TC tray cable and rated at 600 V and 90 degrees C, with three conductors, minimum 14 AWG. E24

1.Power off the DC circuit to which the switch will be connected.

2.Use the legend below the terminal block to identify the terminals. The terminals are positive, power supply ground, and negative, from left to right, as shown in Figure 37 on page 92.

These products combine advanced features with user-friendly management tools, making them ideal for various applications.

One of the standout features of the AT-8100 series is its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, particularly in models like the AT-8100L/8POE and AT-8100S/48POE. These switches can deliver power to connected devices, such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, over the same cabling that carries data. This simplifies installations and can reduce infrastructure costs, as there’s no need for additional power sources for each device.

The AT-8100L/8POE and AT-8100L/8POE-E are equipped with 8 Ethernet ports, with the PoE models supporting up to 15.4W per port on the standard. The AT-8100S/48 boasts an impressive 48 ports, making it suitable for high-density environments. All units in the series are designed to handle Layer 2 networking protocols, ensuring reliable and swift data transfer within local area networks.

Management features are robust and user-friendly. The switches support both web-based and command-line interface management, allowing network administrators to tailor their control methods according to preference and familiarity. The AT-8100 series includes features such as VLAN support, quality of service (QoS) settings for traffic prioritization, and link aggregation for increased bandwidth and redundancy.

Security is a critical aspect of modern networking, and Allied Telesis addresses this with features like port security and DHCP snooping. These functionalities help prevent unauthorized access and protect the network from various types of attacks.

In summary, the Allied Telesis AT-8100 series switches, including the AT-8100L/8POE, AT-8100L/8POE-E, AT-8100L/8, AT-8100S/48, and AT-8100S/48POE, provide a blend of PoE capabilities, robust management features, and solid performance. Their reliability and ease of use make them an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure. As organizations increasingly rely on connected devices, the AT-8100 series equips them with the necessary tools to build efficient and secure networks.
