AT-GS950/48 Gigabit Ethernet WebSmart Switch Installation Guide

Warning: Operating Temperature. This product is designed for a maximum ambient temperature of 40° degrees C.  E7

All Countries: Install product in accordance with local and National Electrical Codes.  E8

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

Caution: The attached mounting brackets must be used to securely mount the device on the wall.  E15

Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.  E21

Warning: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not created due to uneven mechanical loading.  E25

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).  E35

Caution: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.  E36

Warning: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuits (e.g., use of power strips).  E37

AT-GS950/48 specifications

The Allied Telesis AT-GS950/48 is a robust and high-performance managed Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to meet the demands of modern networks. Ideal for small to medium-sized businesses and enterprise environments, this switch delivers flexible, reliable, and high-speed connectivity while ensuring ease of management.

One of the standout features of the AT-GS950/48 is its offering of 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for extensive connectivity options. These ports support auto-negotiation and can automatically detect the highest speed supported by connected devices, ensuring optimal performance. The inclusion of 4 additional SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports enhances the flexibility of the network design. These SFP ports enable fiber connections, making it easy to extend the network over longer distances or connect to different types of media.

The switch supports advanced Layer 2 features, including VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) support, which allows network administrators to segment network traffic for enhanced security and performance. The AT-GS950/48 also incorporates features such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) that prevent loops in the network and promote redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted service even in complex networking environments.

Additionally, the AT-GS950/48 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which enables the switch to deliver power to connected devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points through the Ethernet cable, reducing the need for additional power sources. This PoE capability allows for easier installation and flexibility in deploying network devices.

Allied Telesis places a strong emphasis on security, and the AT-GS950/48 reflects this commitment with features like IEEE 802.1X authentication, which secures network access by allowing only authorized users to connect. The switch also provides access control lists (ACLs) to enhance security by filtering traffic based on various criteria.

With built-in web-based management, the AT-GS950/48 enables administrators to easily configure, manage, and monitor the switch through an intuitive interface. It also supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for integration into existing network management systems.

In summary, the Allied Telesis AT-GS950/48 combines high port density, advanced networking features, power delivery capabilities, and robust security measures, making it an excellent choice for organizations looking to build a resilient and efficient network infrastructure.
