• 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.
