Topology

This section illustrates two network topologies that you can create with the AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart switch: a power workgroup and collapsed backbone. Both types of topologies are described below.

The topology shown in Figure 6 is commonly referred to as a power workgroup topology. Two AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart switches are connected to an AT-9424T/SP Gigabit Ethernet Switch, one via an RJ45 connection and the other using a fiber optic connection. Access points and IP phones are connected to the switches as PoE devices. The access points, in turn, support a wireless Ethernet network of laptop users.
