The AT-8000GS Gigabit Ethernet Switch series includes three device
models, which consist of the following hardware configurations:
AT-8000GS/24 Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 24 10/100/1000 Base-T
ports with 4 1000Base-X SFP combo ports and 2 HDMI interface
stacking ports.
AT-8000GS/24POE Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 24 10/100/1000
Base-T ports ports with modular configuration 4 x 1000Base-X SFP
Combo ports and 2 HDMI interface stacking ports and support for
802.3af Power over Ethernet on the RJ-45 ports. The total POE power
available is 140W which allows for a maximum of nine class 3 devices
(15.4W per device) or a dynamic distribution of power across any or all
24 ports based on user-assigned priorities.
AT-8000GS/24POE Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 48 10/100/1000
Base-T ports with modular configuration 4 x combo 1000Base-X SFP
Combo ports and 2 HDMI interface stacking ports.
All the platforms can operate as standalone systems, or can be stacked
together in the same system. A stack of six units maximum is supported.
In each stack, at any given point of time, there is a single Stack unit that is
the stack’s “Master”; all other units are “Slaves”. One of the slaves can act
as a backup master, so that in the event of failure of the master unit, the
backup takes over. The Stack architecture provides for dynamic learning
of the topology, and dynamic detection at stack start-up.
Device configuration is performed through an Embedded Web Server
(EWS) or through a Command Line interface (CLI). The device
management is performed through an RS-232 interface.
