The AT- x510-52GTX, AT-x510-52GPX, AT-x510L-52GT, and AT-x510L-52GP Switches have 48 10/100/1000Base-T 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 26: Maximum Distance
Chapter 1: Overview You may set the wiring configurations of the ports manually or let the switch configure them automatically with auto-MDI/MDI-X (IEEE 802.3ab- compliant). This feature enables the switch to automatically negotiate with network devices to establish their proper settings. The MDI and MDI-X settings do not apply when ports are operating at 1000 Mbps.
Page 27: Power Over Ethernet
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacks Power Over Ethernet The AT-x510-28GPX, AT-x510L-28GP, AT-x510-52GPX, and AT-x510L-52GP Switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the 10/ 100/1000Base-T ports. PoE is used to supply power to network devices over the same twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic. The main advantage of PoE is that it can make it easier to install a network.

Page 30: Port Prioritization
Chapter 1: Overview together. The switch should be able to power all of the devices simultaneously as long as the total is below its power budget. If the total exceeds the available power budget, you should consider reducing the number of PoE devices so that all of the devices receive power. Otherwise, the switch powers a subset of the devices, based on port prioritization.
Page 31: Wiring Implementation
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacks You can use port prioritization on dual power supply PoE switches to protect your important networking devices from loss of power should one of the power supplies fail or lose power. If you limit the power requirements of the critical devices connected to a switch to less than 185 watts, the PoE power provided by a single power supply, a switch will have sufficient power to support the critical devices even if it has only one functional...

Page 54: Stacking Port Topologies
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Stacking Port Topologies The switches of a stack are connected with the S1 and S2 ports and the stacking transceivers shown in Figure 16 on page 52. There are two wiring configurations. The first topology is called the linear topology.
Page 55: Figure 18: Stack Of Four Switches In The Linear Topology
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacks Figure 18. Stack of Four Switches in the Linear Topology The second topology is called the ring topology. It is similar to the linear topology, except that the unused stacking ports on the end switches of the stack are connected to form a physical loop.
Page 56: Figure 19: Stack Of Two Switches In The Ring Topology
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Figure 19. Stack of Two Switches in the Ring Topology Figure 20 on page 57 is an example of a stack of four switches in the ring topology.
Page 57: Figure 20: Stack Of Four Switches In The Ring Topology
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacks Figure 20. Stack of Four Switches in the Ring Topology The topologies are the same in terms of network speed and performance. However, the ring topology is the recommended wiring configuration because of the secondary path through the stacking ports. The two pathways protect the switches of the stack against the loss of communications due to a failure of a stacking port, cable, or switch.
Page 58: Master And Member Switches
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Master and Member Switches The stack has one master switch. The functions of the master switch include: Coordinating and monitoring stack operations.  Verifying that the switches are using the same version of  management software.

Page 86: Verifying The Status Of Vcstack
Chapter 5: Verifying the Status of VCStack Verifying the Status of VCStack Before you install the stacking transceivers to build the stack, you should first test the switches to determine whether the VCStack feature is enabled or disabled, and enable it on any units where it is disabled. On new switches, the feature should be activated because that is the default setting.

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 Switch ID LED on the front of the switch is off.
Page 124 Chapter 9: Troubleshooting Verify that VCStack is activated on the switches. For instructions,  refer to Chapter 5, “Verifying the Status of VCStack” on page 85. It could be that the switches have incompatible versions of the  management software. When a stack forms or a new switch is added to an existing stack, the master switch downloads its management software to member switches that do not have the same version.
Page 125 x510 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches If you are using SFP+ slots 27 or 28 on a 28-port switch or slots 51  and 52 on a 52-port switch, check that the VCStack feature is disabled on the switch. The VCStack feature has to be disabled before you can use the slots with regular SFP or SFP+ transceivers.
