❑
If you are creating a port trunk, do not connect the cables of
the trunk to the switch until you after have configured the
trunk using the switch's management software. Connecting
the trunk cables to the switch before you have configured the
software will result in a data loop, which can adversely affect
network performance. For instructions on how to configure a
port trunk, refer to the AT-S62 Management Software
User's Guide or AT-S62 Command Line User's Guide.
❑
When connecting a device to a port on an AT-8524POE switch,
the port automatically determines whether the node is a
powered device and, if it is, the amount of wattage required
by the device, up to a maximum of 15.4 W. If the node is not a
powered device, the port automatically disables the PoE
feature.
2. If your switch has fiber optic ports, remove the dust covers from the
ports, as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 19 Removing the Dust Covers from the Fiber Optic Ports
Caution
Do not remove the dust covers if you do not intend to connect the
fiber optic cables at this time. Dust contamination can adversely
impact the operation of the ports.
