Chapter 1. Product Description

The new AT-8000S series combines the best of the previous L2 series; stackability and affordability. The new AT-8000S series is 

 an entry level managed switch for the SMB, Small Office/Field Office offering managed desktop connectivity. The fiber uplink p

rovides connectivity between workgroups over a larger distances. In addition the AT-8000S series is also equipped with a copper 

10/100/1000Base-T port for connectivity to gigabit aggregation switches.

The new AT-8000S series combines value with the necessary management features for networked applications. There are five device models which provide different hardware configurations and include the following:

• AT-8000S/16 device which supports 16 built-in 10/100Base-T ports, and a Combo port functionality that supports both copper and SFP interfaces. 

• AT-8000S/24 device with stacking ports which supports 24 built-in 10/100Base-T ports, two Gigabit stackable and 2 Combo Ports, inclusive of a Combo port functionality that supports both copper and SFP interface. 

• AT-8000S/24POE device with stacking port which supports 24 built-in 10/100Base-T ports, two Gigabit stackable and 2 Combo Ports, inclusive of a Combo port that supports both copper and SFP interface. The PoE function is supported on RJ-45 ports. 

• AT-8000S/48 device with stacking ports which supports 48 built-in 10/100Base-T ports, two Gigabit stackable and 2 Combo Ports, inclusive of a Combo port functionality that supports both copper and SFP interface. 

• AT-8000S/48POE device with stacking port which supports 48 built-in 10/100Base-T ports, two Gigabit stackable and 2 Combo Ports, inclusive of a Combo port that supports both copper and SFP interface. The PoE function is supported on RJ-45 ports. The AT-8000S/24, AT-8000S/24POE, AT-8000S/48 and AT-8000S/48POE can be joined together into a stack of up to six units. For more information, see Chapter 3 Stacking. Device configuration is performed through an Embedded Web Server (EWS) or through a Command Line Interface (CLI). The device management is performed through a DB-9 RS-232 interface.

AT-8000S/16 Front Panel

The AT-8000S/16 front panel is configured as follows:

• 16 10/100Mbps Ports — RJ-45 ports designated as 10/100Base-T. The RJ-45 ports are designated as ports Ports 1 - 16. 

• 1 10/100/1000Base-T Copper Port — There is one copper 10/100/100Base-T port designated on the switch as port 17R. This port is paired with the SFP slot designated on the switch as port 17. Together these two ports form the Combo ports shown in Figure 1. 

• 1 SFP Port — There is one SFP slot supports either a 100Base-FX or a 1000Base-X (fiber) connection and is designated on the switch as port 17. This SFP slot is paired with the 10/100/1000Base-T copper port which is designated on the switch as port 17R. Together these two ports form the Combo ports shown in Figure 1. 

• DB-9 Console port — An asynchronous serial console port supporting the RS-232 electrical specification. The port is used to connect the device to the console managing the device. 

• Reset Button — Button to reset the device. 

• Mode Button — Selects the port LED indications.

This section contains information for installing the device, and includes the following sections:

• Preparing for Installation 

• Installing the Device 

• Connecting the Device 

• Rack Installation

Preparing for Installation

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

Warning To reduce the risk of electric shock, the PoE ports on this product must not connect to cabling that is routed outside the building where this device is located.  E40
