Ports
The AT-8000/8POE Fast Ethernet Switch features eight twisted pair ports,
one 10/100/1000Base-T port, and one combo SFP port.
Twisted Pair
Ports
The twisted pair ports feature 8-pin RJ-45 connectors. (For the port
pinouts, refer to “Connectors and Port Pinouts” on page 55.)
The ports on the AT-8000/8POE Fast Ethernet Switch are 10Base-T and
100Base-TX compliant and are capable of 10 megabits per second
(Mbps) and 100 Mbps speeds.
The ports are IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation compliant. With Auto-
Negotiation, the switch automatically matches the highest possible
common speed between each switch port and each end node. For
example, if an end node is capable of only 10 Mbps, the switch sets the
port connected to the end node to 10 Mbps.
Each twisted pair port on the switches can operate in either half- or full-
duplex mode. The twisted pair ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and Auto-
Negotiate the duplex mode setting.
Note
In order for the switch to set the duplex mode for each port correctly,
the end nodes that you connect to the switch ports should also use
Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise, a duplex mode mismatch can occur,
affecting network performance. For further information, refer to
“Duplex Mode” on page 27.
Each twisted pair port has a maximum operating distance of 100 m
(328 feet).
For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3 or better 100 ohm shielded or
unshielded twisted pair cabling is required. For 100 or 1000 Mbps
operation, Category 5 and Enhanced Category 5 (5E) 100 ohm shielded
or unshielded twisted pair cabling is required.
The twisted pair ports are auto-MDI/MDIX. They automatically configure
themselves as either MDI or MDI-X. This feature allows you to use either
straight-through or crossover twisted pair cables to connect devices to the
ports.
The ports can operate as either standard 10/100Base-T ports or as PoE
ports.

10/100/1000
RJ-45 Uplink
Port
The 10/100/1000Base-T uplink port is a backup for the SFP uplink port. If
the SFP’s fiber connection fails, the 10/100/1000Base-T uplink port takes
over the connection.
SFP Port The SFP port, port 9, can operate in place of its twisted pair port
equivalent to provide fiber optic uplink connectivity. When an SFP is
inserted in the SFP port and a fiber optic cable is connected, the
corresponding twisted pair port is disabled.
RS-232 Console
Port
The RS-232 console port uses the management cable supplied with the
switch. Through the console port you can connect to the switch and use
the menus-based AT-S81 management software user interface.

LEDs
The LEDs on the front panel display the system and port status
information. Each port has two LEDs as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Port LEDs
Table 2 describes the LEDs for the 10/100Base-T ports.

LED State Description
PoE Solid green The port is connected to a valid powered
device and power is being supplied to the
port.
Solid amber The power required by the connected device
exceeds the port’s power budget.
Blinking
amber
The overall power budget for the switch was
exceeded when powered device was
connected to this port.
Off The port is not connected to a valid powered
device and power is not being supplied on
the port.
LINK/ACT Off The port has not established a link with an
end node.
Solid green A valid link has been established on the port
and the port is operating in 100Base-T mode.
Blinking
