Stack Installation Guide for 8100S Series Switches 35 Power Over Ethernet The AT-8100S/24POE Switch features Power over Et hernet (PoE) on the 10/100Base-TX ports. PoE is used to supply power to netwo rk devices over the same twisted pair cables that carry the n etwork traffic.
Chapter 1: Ove rview 36 Power Budget The AT-8100S/24POE Switch has a power bu dget of 370 watts. This is the maximum amount of power the switches can provide at one time to the powered devices. The PoE switch has two power supplies. Each power su pply is responsible for providing 185 watts, or half, of th e power budget.
Stack Installation Guide for 8100S Series Switches 37 Port Prioritization If the power requirements of t he powered devices exceed the switch’s power budget, the switch will deny power to some ports based o n a system called port prioritization.
Chapter 1: Ove rview 38 Wiring Implementation The IEEE 802.3af standard defines two me thods by which a PSE, such as the switch, can transmit DC power over t wisted pair cables to PDs. These methods, known as modes A and B, identify the wire strand s the switch should use when sending DC powe r to a PD.
Stack Installation Guide for 8100S Series Switches 39 S1 and S2 Stacking Ports The switch may be used as a stand-alone un it or as part of a stack in which multiple units are interconnected via the S1 and S2 stacking ports on the front panels.
Chapter 1: Ove rview 40 eco-friendly Button You may turn off the port L EDs to conserve electricity when you are not monitoring the switch. The LEDs ma y be toggled with the eco-friendly button on the front panel of the switch or the ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in the Gl obal Configuration mode of the command line interface.
Stack Installation Guide for 8100S Series Switches 41 LEDs Here are the descriptions of the switch’s LEDs. 10/100Base-TX Twisted Pair Port LEDs The 10/100Base-TX twisted pair ports have link/activity and duplex mode LEDs. Figure 10. 10/100Base-TX Port LEDs The LEDs are described in this table.

Chapter 1: Ove rview 46 Stack ID LED The Stack ID LED displays the ID number of the switch. A stand-a lone switch should have the ID number 0. Switches connected with the stacking ports to form a virtual stack must h ave unique numbers.
Stack Installation Guide for 8100S Series Switches 47 Console Port The Console port is used t o configure the features and paramet er settings of the switch. This type of management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local or out-of-band management because it is not conducted over your network.
Chapter 1: Ove rview 48 Power Supplies The switches are powered by two intern al AC power supplies, except for the AT-8100S/24C Switch, which has one power supply. The supplies are not field-replaceable and each has a separate AC connector on the back panels.
Stack Installation Guide for 8100S Series Switches 49 Power Connectors The 8100S Series switches have two AC or DC power supply sockets o n the back panels, except for the AT-8100S/24C Switch, which has just one AC power supply socket. AC switches are powered on or o ff by connectin g or disconnecting the power cords.

Chapter 2: St acking Overview 52 Stacking Guidelines A stack is a group 8100S Series switch es linked together with the S1 and S2 stacking ports to function a s a unified Fast Ethernet switch.
Stack Installation Guide for 8100S Series Switches 53 The other units are referred to as member switche s. The stacking feature described in this guide is u nrelated to the enhanced stacking feature d escribed in the A T -8100 Series AlliedWare Plus Comman d Line Interface User ’s Guid e .
Chapter 2: St acking Overview 54 Master Switch A stack must have a master switch to coordinate and monitor stack operations. It verifies that the switc hes are using the same version of management software, that no two switches have the same ID number, and that the stacking ports are cabled correctly.
Stack Installation Guide for 8100S Series Switches 55 Stacking Port Topologies The switches are connected together wi th the S1 and S2 ports in the management panels, and the stackin g cables that come with the units. There are two wiring configurations.

Stack Installation Guide for 8100S Series Switches 57 Active Boot Configuration File The master switch stores the settings of the entire stack in a file in its file system.
Chapter 2: St acking Overview 58 instructs the other switches to designate that filename as the active boot configuration file so that they use that file if they become the master switch. Here is an example of how the process wo rks. Let’s assume your stack has three switches, assigned the ID numbers 1 to 3.
Stack Installation Guide for 8100S Series Switches 59 Initialization Process The switches of the stack synchron ize their operations in a five phase process when they are powered on or rese t, and prior to forwarding network traffic from their ports. In the first three phases the switches initialize th eir management software and features.
