Summary of Features Table 1-3 describes the LED indications on the AT-8518. Table 1-3 AT-8518 LED Color Indicates Power Green The switch is powered up. Yellow The switch is indicating a power, overheat, or fan failure. DIAG Green flashing: Slow Power On Self Test (POST) in progress.
AT-9108, AT-8518, AT-8525, and AT-8550 Installation Guide Table 1-4 describes the LED indications on the AT-8525 and the AT-8550. Table 1-4 AT-8525 and AT-8550 LEDs Color Indicates Power Green The switch is powered up. Yellow The switch is indicating a power, overheat, or fan failure.
Summary of Features Port Redundancy The AT-8518, AT-8525, and AT-8550 switches have optional redundant Gigabit Ethernet ports. Using the redundant port, you can dual-home the switch to one or two switches. Figure 1-5 illustrates a switch dual-homed to two different switches. 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET SWITCH WITH GIGABIT ETHERNET 1000BASE-X...
AT-9108, AT-8518, AT-8525, and AT-8550 Installation Guide Network Configuration Examples This section describes where to position the switches within your network. One common use of the switches is on a Gigabit Ethernet backbone. Figure 1-6 shows an example of a Gigabit Ethernet backbone within a building.

Appendix A of this guide. Verifying the Switch Package Check your package for the following contents: " One gigabit Ethernet switch (AT-9108, AT-8518, AT-8525 or AT-8550) " Two rackmount brackets and eight flathead screws " Four self-adhesive rubber feet " One power cord "...
Determining the Switch Location Determining the Switch Location The switches are suited for use in the office, where it can be free-standing, or mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, the device can be rack- mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. Two mounting brackets are supplied with the switch.
AT-9108, AT-8518, AT-8525, and AT-8550 Installation Guide Insert four flathead screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver, as shown in Figure 2-1. fit_rack.eps Figure 2-1 Fitting the Mounting Bracket Repeat the three previous steps for the other side of the switch.
Connecting Equipment to the Console Port Connecting Equipment to the Console Port Connection to the console port is used for direct local management. The switch console port settings are set as follows: " Baud rate — 9600 " Data bits — 8 "...
After turning on power to the switch, it performs a Power On Self-Test (POST). During the POST, all ports are temporarily disabled, the packet LED is off, the Power LED is on, and the DIAG LED (AT-9108, AT-8518) or MGMT LED (AT-8525, AT-8550) flashes.
Administrator capabilities allow you to access all switch functions. Note For more information on switch security, refer to the AT-9108, AT-8518, AT-8525, and AT-8550 User’s Guide.
