Chapter 1 Product Description Overview This chapter describes the features of the following unmanaged Ethernet and Fast Ethernet switches: AT-RS710TX AT-RS718TX AT-FS708 Each switch model is described in Table 1: Table 1: Switch Models and Port Description Model Description AT-RS710TX...
Product Description Table 1: Switch Models and Port Description (Continued) Model Description AT-FS708 Eight auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps twisted pair RJ45 ports One MDI button on Port 8 Total bandwidth of 800 Mbps Note For definitions of technical terms associated with Allied Telesyn’s products, refer to the Glossary on Allied Telesyn’s website at www.alliedtelesyn.com.
AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the front panels of the AT-RS710TX and the AT-RS718TX, respectively. The sample rear panel in Figure 3 shows the DIP switches present in these models for setting each 10 Mbps port to either half or full duplex transmission.
DIP switches on the AT-RS710TX and AT-RS718TX Connectors Media-dependent interface button LEDs Power supply DIP Switches The AT-RS710TX and the AT-RS718TX switches are equipped with DIP switches in the rear panel. This enables you to configure each 10 Mbps port for half or full duplex transmission.
AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide Note Since Ports A and B are capable of auto-negotiation, they have no associated DIP switches. The same reasoning applies to all eight ports on the AT-FS708 switch. More details are provided in Chapter 2.
100M FULL DUPLEX COLLISION POWER LINK/ACTIVITY Figure 5: A Close Up of the AT-RS718TX Front Panel LEDs Note The AT-RS710TX does not have port numbers 9 through 16. 100M COLLISION FULL DUPLEX ACTIVITY POWER LINK Figure 6: A Close Up of the AT-FS708 Front Panel LEDs...
Off means the bandwidth is 10 Mbps. 100M Green On means the bandwidth is 100 Mbps. Applies to Ports A and B on the AT-RS710TX and the AT-RS718TX and to all ports on the AT-FS708. Blinking indicates the port is detecting a collision. COLLISION Amber Applies to half duplex transmission only.
Auto-Negotiation The 10/100 Mbps ports on the following models are capable of auto-negotiation: Ports A and B on the AT-RS710TX and the AT-RS718TX All 8 ports on the AT-FS708 This means these ports automatically adapt to the wire speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex transmission (half or full) supported by the link without user reconfiguration.
Page 25
AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide The auto-negotiation protocol also includes automatic sensing of a port’s duplex mode, allowing auto-negotiation-capable end-system devices to not only configure the speed but also change to full duplex for even higher traffic throughput. This is particularly useful in environments where NICs are being replaced or desktop workstations are moved.
Before installing the switch, make sure you read “Electrical Safety and Installation Requirements” on page iii. Verifying Package Contents Make sure that the package includes the following items: One AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, or AT-FS708 switch One AC power cord Two rackmounting brackets Four self-adhesive rubber feet...
Installation Site Requirements Make sure you observe the following site requirements: Make sure you are placing the switch in a dust-free and moisture-free environment. Do not block ventilation openings on the unit. Make sure that the switch’s power is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide Rackmount Installation You will need a Phillips screwdriver for this installation. Caution Do not use power tools to perform this installation. If previously attached, remove the rubber feet and all cables and power cord from the switch.
If Your Switch Model Use this MDI Use This To Connect to Button Cable This Device Ports Are Position AT-RS710TX: Straight- Switch or hub (To HUB) through Port A (100 Mbps) and DTE (end station or server) Port 8 (To PC)
The DIP switches are located in the rear panel and are set in the factory for half duplex. Each numbered DIP switch corresponds to the 10 Mbps port on the front panel. Figure 8 shows a close-up of the AT-RS710TX’s rear panel as an example.
Cat 5, UTP wiring Figure 9: AT-RS710TX Connected to End Stations Cascade Configuration Cascading means that two switches can be connected together using any of the switch ports provided you maintain the same medium type.
For 100 Mbps connection to the backbone, set the following ports to the To Hub position: Port A of either the AT-RS710TX or the AT-RS718TX Port 8 of the AT-FS708 Figure 11 illustrates how the AT-FS708 switches can be used as an uplink to the...

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting This chapter describes the procedures to test and troubleshoot the switches. Connectivity Testing In the following procedure, you will test each port for a valid connection and to confirm the correct operation of the network. Start with Ports 1 and 2. Connect these two ports of a single switch to two nodes or workstations and turn on the switch power supply.
Troubleshooting Problem Solving Is the unit receiving power? Check the POWER LED on the front of the switch. This green LED should be lit. If the power LED is not on: Check the back of the unit. Make sure the power switch is in the 1 position.

AT-RS710TX, AT-RS718TX, and AT-FS708 Switches Installation Guide Problem 3: The MDI button is in the wrong setting. Solution 3: — When using the cascade port of the switch, you should set the button to the To HUB position; otherwise, the switch should be in the To PC position.
