Overview

The AT-FS705E FC Series and the AT-FS706E FC Series Fast Ethernet switches are unmanaged Layer 2 switches. They can be used in a variety of network configurations and topologies. You can use the switches to create small workgroups with dedicated 10/100 Mbps links to your network devices, such as workstations, servers, printers, and routers. You can also use the switches to interconnect Ethernet hubs to provide a bridge between the different workgroups of your network. Finally, you can connect the switches to other Ethernet switches so that they can be part of a larger Ethernet network.

Common features of the switches include:

Four 10/100 Mbps (10Base-T / 100Base-TX) twisted pair ports with RJ-45 connectors

One (AT-FS705E FC) or two (AT-FS706E FC) 100 Mbps fiber optic ports with a maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers (1.25 miles)

Full- or half-duplex operation on both the twisted pair ports and the fiber optic ports

Automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration on the twisted pair ports

Store and forward Ethernet packet handling

GMAC address table with a capacity of 4,000 addresses

The AT-FS705E FC Series and the AT-FS706E FC Series Fast Ethernet switches are easy to operate. They require no software management.

The switches are available with a variety of fiber optic connectors. For a complete list of the available models, contact your Allied Telesyn International sales representative.

Note

The AT-FS705E FC Series and the AT-FS706E FC Series switches are functionally identical. The only difference is the addition of the second fiber optic port on the AT-FS706E FC Series switch.

Moreover, the ATFS705EFCSC60 excels in Layer 2 switching capabilities. It supports vital functionalities like VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) support, allowing network administrators to segment their network into different logical sections. This segmentation enhances security, reduces broadcast domains, and improves overall network performance. The switch also supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) to prevent loops within the network topology, ensuring reliable redundancy.

Another standout feature of the ATFS705EFCSC60 is its advanced management capabilities. It provides web-based management interfaces, which facilitate easy configuration and monitoring of the network switch. Network administrators can also utilize SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remote monitoring, allowing for real-time insights into the performance and health of the switch.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is another significant advantage of this switch. It allows the switch to deliver power to connected devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points through the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for additional power sources. This feature simplifies installation and reduces clutter, making it an excellent choice for environments where power outlets are limited.

In terms of build and design, the ATFS705EFCSC60 is designed for reliability and durability. It features a robust chassis that can withstand various environmental conditions, making it suitable for different deployment scenarios. The switch’s fanless design also ensures silent operation, making it ideal for office environments.

In summary, the Allied Telesis ATFS705EFCSC60 is a high-performance network switch that blends performance, reliability, and advanced features. Its support for gigabit Ethernet, VLAN configuration, PoE capabilities, and comprehensive management options make it an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure. Whether used in a growing enterprise or as part of a point solution, the ATFS705EFCSC60 presents itself as a valuable asset in modern networking.
