This allows wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports simultaneously.
AMS Quick Install Guide 2. Description of Hardware 1000Base-T Ports The AMS Series switches contain 4x 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports (AMS-4T24S4SFP), 24x 1000BASE-T RJ- 45 ports (AMS-24T6SFP & AMS-24T4S4SFP) or 48x 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports (AMS-48T4SFP & AMS- 48T4S4SFP). All RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, auto-negotiation and IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the optimum data rate and transmission can be selected automatically.
AMS Quick Install Guide Port and System Status LED’s The AMS Series switches include a display panel for system and port indications that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs are located on left hand side of the front panel or over the port sockets for easy viewing.

Network Planning Installing the Switch Selecting a site The AMS Series switches can be rack mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack using the supplied Rack Mount Kit, or they can be installed on any flat surface.
AMS Quick Install Guide Ethernet Cabling To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network: ...
AMS Quick Install Guide WARNING: The mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port. Mounting The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site as follows.
AMS Quick Install Guide 2. Mount the device in the rack using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). Be sure to secure the lower rack-mounting screws first to prevent the brackets from being bent by the weight of the switch. 3. If installing a single switch, turn to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. 4.
SFP module. CAUTION: Use only supported genuine Alloy SFP’s with your switch. Non-Alloy SFP’s might have compatible issues, and their use may result in product malfunction. Inserting a SFP Module into a slot 1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type.
AMS Quick Install Guide Connecting to a power source To switch the power off, please remove the power cord from the switch. To turn the power on, please insert the power cable into the switch. Inserting the power cord to switch and AC power socket 1.

AMS Quick Install Guide 5. Making Network Connections Connecting Network Devices The AMS Series switches are designed to be connected to 10, 100 or 1000Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using optional SFP transceivers.
AMS Quick Install Guide Connecting to PC’s, Servers and Switches 1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector. 2. If the device is a network card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet.
AMS Quick Install Guide Network Wiring Connections Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks. It is actually part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections in the wiring closet with this type of equipment follows.
AMS Quick Install Guide Fibre Optic SFP Devices An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a high-speed server. Each single-mode fibre port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fibre optic cable with an LC connector at both ends.
AMS Quick Install Guide 6. Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. This will allow users to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.
AMS Quick Install Guide 7. Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting Tips Most problems are caused by the following situations. Check for these items first when starting your troubleshooting: Connecting to devices that have a fixed full- duplex configuration. The RJ-45 ports are configured as “Auto”. That is, when connecting to attached devices, the switch will operate in one of two ways to determine the link speed and the communication mode (half duplex or full duplex): ...

AMS Quick Install Guide Check the port configuration. A port on your Switch may not be operating as you expect because it has been put into a “ blocking” state by Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic trunking). (Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software.

AMS Quick Install Guide 8. Power and Cooling Problems Installation If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet.
