Chapter 1: Product Description Hardware Feature Description The below sections describe the hardware features of the AT-GS900/xE Gigabit Ethernet switch: Five or eight 10/100/1000 Mbps twisted pair ports System and port LEDs DC power jack 10/100Base-TX The AT-GS900/xE Gigabit Ethernet switch features sixteen twisted pair ports.
AT-GS900/xE Gigabit Ethernet Switch Installation Guide Type of Cabling For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3 or better 100 ohm shielded or unshielded twisted pair cabling is required. For 100 Mbps operation, Category 5 and Enhanced Category 5 (5E) 100 ohm shielded or unshielded twisted pair cabling is required.
Chapter 1: Product Description DC Power The AT-GS900/xE Gigabit Ethernet switch has a single DC power jack on the back panel. Refer to Appendix A, “Technical Specifications” on Connector page 34, for the input voltage specifications. To power ON or OFF the switch, you connect or disconnect the power adapter.
AT-GS900/xE Gigabit Ethernet Switch Installation Guide A Few Ethernet Switching Basics An Ethernet switch interconnects network devices, such as workstations, printers, routers, and other Ethernet switches, so that they can communicate with each other by sending and receiving Ethernet frames. MAC Address Every hardware device on your network has a unique MAC address.
Note Since the ports on the AT-GS900/xE switches operate in Auto- Negotiate mode only, the end nodes connected to the AT-GS900/5E or AT-GS900/8E switch must also be configured to operate in the Auto-Negotiate mode. If an end node is configured to a specific duplex in a manual mode, it will not respond to the Auto-Negotiate protocol from the AT-GS900/5E or AT-GS900/8E switch.
AT-GS900/xE Gigabit Ethernet Switch Installation Guide Back Pressure To maintain the orderly movement of data between the end nodes, an Ethernet switch may periodically need to signal an end node to stop and Flow Control sending data. This can occur under several circumstances. For example, if two end nodes are operating at different speeds, the switch, while transferring data between the end nodes, might need to instruct the faster end node to stop transmitting data to allow the slower end node to catch...
Chapter 1: Product Description Network Topologies This section illustrates two network topologies that you can create with the AT-GS900/xE switches: a power workgroup and collapsed backbone. Both types of topologies are described below. Power The topology shown in Figure 5 is commonly referred to as a power workgroup topology.
AT-GS900/xE Gigabit Ethernet Switch Installation Guide Collapsed In the topology illustrated in Figure 6, an AT-GS900/8E connects Fast Ethernet switches that have Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. This type of topology Backbone is often referred to as a collapsed backbone topology. The switch functions as the focal point of the network and transfers an Ethernet frame between the Fast Ethernet switches only when the destination end node for the frame is on a different switch than the end node that originated the frame.
