Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches 10/100Base-TX Twisted Pair Ports The switches have 8, 24, or 48 10/100Base-TX ports. Speed The ports can operate at either 10 or 100 Mbps. The speeds may be set manually using the management software or automatically with Auto- Negotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting.
Page 36: Maximum Distance
Chapter 1: Overview Maximum The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). Distance Power Over The 10/100Base-TX ports on the AT-8100S/24POE and AT-8100S/ 48POE Switches support Power over Ethernet (PoE), which is a standard Ethernet whereby DC power is provided by the switch to network devices over the network twisted pair cables.

Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches 10/100/1000Base-T Twisted Pair Ports The switches have two 10/100/1000Base-T ports. These ports are paired with SFP slots to form combo ports. Speed The ports can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speeds may be set manually using the management software or automatically with Auto- Negotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting.
Page 38: Maximum Distance
Chapter 1: Overview The MDI and MDI-X settings do not apply when the ports are operating at 1000 Mbps. Maximum The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). Distance Power Over The 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the AT-8100L/8POE, AT-8100S/24POE and AT-8100S/48POE Switches do not support PoE.
Page 39: Sfp Slots
The switches support a variety of short and long distance, 100 and 1000 Mbps fiber optic SFP modules. For a list of supported SFP modules, contact your Allied Telesis representative or visit our web site. The two SFP slots are paired with the two 10/100/1000Base-T ports. The combo ports are listed in Table 9.
Page 40 Chapter 1: Overview Port speed is an exception to the shared settings of the twisted pair  port and SFP slot of a combo port. If you disable Auto-Negotiation on the twisted pair port and set the speed and duplex mode manually, the switch reactivates it when an SFP module establishes a link with an end node.

Page 43: Port Prioritization
Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches The switch can handle different power requirements on different ports. This enables you to connect different classes of PoE equipment to the ports on the switch. Port If the power requirements of the powered devices exceed the switch’s power budget, the switch denies power to some ports based on a system Prioritization called port prioritization.
Page 44: Wiring Implementation
Chapter 1: Overview Wiring The IEEE 802.3af standard defines two methods by which a PSE, such as the switch, can transmit DC power over twisted pair cables to PDs. These Implementation methods, known as modes A and B, identify the wire strands the switch should use when sending DC power to a PD.

Page 100: Secure Shell Management
Chapter 5: Powering On the Switch Telnet management sessions are not secure and are vulnerable to snooping because the packets exchanged between the switch and your workstation are sent in plain text. The security of the switch may be jeopardized if an intruder captures the packet containing your userrname and password.

Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches You need to assign your management workstation an IP address in  the 169.254.n.n subnet or your workstation must have access to that subnet through routing devices. Refer to the AT-8100 Series AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface User’s Guide for instructions on how to configure the switch for secure HTTPS web browser management.

Page 103: Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
This chapter contains suggestions on how to troubleshoot the switch if a problem occurs. Note For further assistance, please contact Allied Telesis Technical Support at www.alliedtelesis.com/support. Problem 1: The Stack ID LED on the front of the switch is off.
Page 104 Chapter 6: Troubleshooting Verify that the network device connected to the twisted pair port is  powered on and is operating properly. Try connecting another network device to the twisted pair port with  a different cable. If the twisted pair port is able to establish a link, then the problem is with the cable or the other network device.
Page 105 Stand-alone Switch Installation Guide for 8100L and 8100S Series Switches Problem 5: Network performance between a twisted pair port on the switch and a network device is slow. Solution: There might be a duplex mode mismatch between the port and the network device.
