  • Page 29: Port Prioritization

    x310 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches 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. You may use this mechanism to ensure that powered devices critical to the operations of your network are given preferential treatment by the switch in the distribution of power should the demands of the devices exceed the available capacity.
  • Page 30: Wiring Implementation

    Chapter 1: Overview Wiring The IEEE 802.3af standard defines two methods for delivering DC power over twisted pair cable by a PSE, such as a switch, to PDs. These Implementation methods, known as Alternatives A and B, identify which of the wires within the cables are to carry the DC power from the switches to the PDs.
  • Page 31: Sfp Slots

    The switches support a variety of short and long distance SFP modules. For a list of supported SFP modules, contact your Allied Telesis representative or visit our web site. Note The SFP slots and 10/100/1000Base-T ports are paired together to form combo port pairs.
  • Page 32: Combo 10/100/1000Base-T Ports And Sfp Slots

    For example, if you decide to use twisted pair port 25R on the AT-x310-26FT or AT-x310-26FP Switch, then you cannot use SFP slot 25. Or, if you choose to use SFP slot 49 on the AT-x310- 50FT or AT-x310-50FP Switch, then you cannot use the twisted pair port 49R.
  • Page 33: Stacking Slots

    x310 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Stacking Slots The S1 and S2 slots on the front panel of the switch are used with special stacking transceivers to create a VCStack of up to four switches. The switches of a VCStack act as a single virtual unit. They synchronize their actions so that switching operations, like spanning tree protocols, virtual LANs, and static port trunks, span across all the units and ports.
  • Page 34: Eco-Friendly Button

    Chapter 1: Overview eco-friendly Button The eco-friendly button on the front panel of the switch is used to toggle the port LEDs on or off.
