Power Budget The AT-x510-28GPX and AT-x510-52GPX Switches have a power budget of 370 watts. This is the maximum amount of power the switches can provide at one time to the powered devices.

The AT-x510-28GPX and AT-x510-52GPX Switches have two power supplies. Each power supply is responsible for providing 185 watts, or half, of the power budget. Both power supplies must be connected to AC power sources for the switch to provide the full 370 watts. The power budget is reduced to 185 watts if only one power supply is connected to a power source.

The power requirements of the PoE devices determine the maximum number of devices the switch can support at one time. So long as the total power requirements of the powered devices is less than the power budget of the switch, the switch can supply power to all the devices. But if the total power requirements exceed the power budget, the switch denies power to one or more ports using a mechanism referred to as port prioritization.

To determine whether the power requirements of the PoE devices you plan to connect to the switch exceed its power budget, refer to their documentation for their power requirements and add the requirements together. The switch should be able to power all of the devices

Allied Telesis has made significant strides in network infrastructure solutions with its AT-X510 series of managed Ethernet switches. The series includes models such as the AT-X510-28GTX, AT-X510-28GPX, AT-X510-52GTX, AT-X510-28GSX, and AT-X510-52GPX. These switches combine performance, flexibility, and ease of management to meet the demands of various networking environments.

One of the standout features of the AT-X510 series is its robust performance capabilities. These switches are equipped with advanced Layer 2 switching functionalities that support a range of protocols and enhance overall network efficiency. With high forwarding capacities, they ensure that data is transmitted quickly, making them ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video conferencing and cloud services.

Another significant advantage of the AT-X510 series is Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, particularly in the GPX and GSX models. This feature allows the switches to deliver power to connected devices like IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. This consolidates cabling, simplifies installation, and enhances flexibility in device placement.

The AT-X510 switches also incorporate advanced security functionalities like IEEE 802.1X port-based access control, which ensures that only authorized devices can connect to the network. This is particularly critical in environments where data security is a top priority. Additionally, the switches support VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), which help isolate network traffic, enhance performance, and provide an additional layer of security.

Management and configuration of the AT-X510 series are streamlined through an intuitive web-based interface and support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This simplifies monitoring and troubleshooting, allowing administrators to manage the network efficiently without extensive training.

The hardware design of the AT-X510 series is also worth noting. Built with reliability in mind, these switches come with redundant power supply options, ensuring continued operation during power failures. The fanless design in some models also contributes to quieter operation, making them suitable for office environments.

Overall, the Allied Telesis AT-X510 series, including the AT-X510-28GTX, AT-X510-28GPX, AT-X510-52GTX, AT-X510-28GSX, and AT-X510-52GPX, offers a compelling combination of performance, flexibility, and security. These switches cater to the needs of modern networks, allowing businesses to build efficient, secure, and well-managed network infrastructures.
