Selecting a Site

Before you install the switch, review the following considerations about its location.

The switch requires an ambient temperature range of 0 º C to 40º C (32º F to 104º F).

There should be adequate airflow around the switch and its vents.

The site should be dust-free and without moisture.

Humidity can be from 5% to 80% non-condensing.

You need a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply source, preferably dedicated and filtered.

Cabling must not be exposed to sources of electrical noise, such as radio transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and fluorescent fixtures.

Switch ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed cabling is required.

Related network devices can be connected to the switch but cannot exceed maximum cable lengths specified in the Hardware Reference.

You may need to remove cabinet doors to accommodate cords and cables.

Ensure easy access to the switch’s power and cable connections.

AT-8600 Series Switch

Installing the Switch

Ports on the switch are suitable only for connections within buildings (intrabuilding) and with cables unexposed to the outside.

Before you begin

Read the safety information.

For your well-being and that of the equipment, read the safety information in this document. You can also download this document from the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM or from www.alliedtelesis.com/support/ software.

Verify the package contents if you have not already done so.

See “Package Contents” on page 4. If any items are damaged or missing, contact your authorised distributor or reseller.

Gather necessary tools and equipment:

Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the blanking plate, if any

4 sets of rack-mount screws and nuts, and a suitable screwdriver

To install a DC version of the PSU, you need an appropriate DC power source, DC supply cable, ring connectors, and a crimp tool.

Choose a suitable operating location.

You can install the switch either in a 19-inch rack, on a flat bench, or against a wall. Follow the guidelines in “Selecting a Site” on page 5 to choose a location.

To ensure rack-mounted installations are earthed for compatibility with Network Equipment Building System (NEBS), do the following:

Remove non-conductive coatings, such as lacquer and enamel, from the rack rail where hardware will contact it. Also remove coatings from unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars, and bring them to a bright finish. Then coat them with an antioxidant before connecting them. During installation, thread-forming screws with star washers may be used for this purpose

All bare conductors must be coated with an appropriate antioxidant compound before making crimp connections.

Warning Both AC and DC versions of this equipment must be earthed through the power cables provided.

Installation & Safety Guide

Procedure

1.If you have any optional expansion modules, install them first.

The AT-8600 Series switches support the AT-A45/xx, AT-A46, AT-A47, and AT-A65 expansion modules. Install them by following the instructions in the relevant guide:

AT-A65 Expansion Module Installation and Safety Guide for the AT-A65 module only.

AT-A45/xx Series, AT-A46, and AT-A47 Expansion Modules Installation Guide for the other expansion modules.

These instructions ship with individual expansion modules, and are also available from www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software.

Note that if you insert or remove a module when the switch is already powered on, you must restart the switch before you can use the module.

2.Place the switch in its operating location.

If installing the switch in a rack:

Remove the rubber feet on the bottom of the switch with a flat-head screwdriver.

Attach the two rack-mounting brackets to the switch with the screws provided in the rack-mount kit.

3.Mount the switch in the rack using rack-mount screws

Note that the screws are not provided with the switch.

4.Install any SFPs.

You can install optional SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules into the AT-8648T/2SP.

Warning Do not look into the optical ports of SFP cables or transceivers. Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibres or connectors.

In both SFP ports, the SFP transceivers must be inserted with the release lever hinge at the bottom. Use the following figure as a guide.

AT-8600_sfp_shaded

Slide the transceiver into the SFP socket, and firmly press it until it engages. To remove it, first release it by gently pulling the release lever, and then pull it out of the socket. Never force a transceiver into or out of a socket.

When an SFP is installed into one of the two SFP ports, that SFP port takes precedence over its corresponding 10/100/1000T port. When the SFP is removed, the 10/100/1000T port is once again active.

5.Check the supply voltage and the switch’s rated voltage

AT-8600 Series switches are fitted with a universal main power supply that functions from100–240 VAC and 50–60 Hz.

Specific power supply requirements for the model are on the rear or underside of the switch. If the supply is outside the acceptable range, the switch may not operate or may be damaged.

6.Apply AC power to the switch.

Plug the power cord into the AC power connector. This is on the switch’s rear panel, as shown in the below figures.

7.Check that the PWR LED on the switch’s front panel is green.

If the PWR (power) LED fails to light, refer to the AT-8600 Series Hardware Reference for troubleshooting information.

8.Connect the data cables.

Make sure each cable connection is secure. The switch can now process basic Layer 2 switching functions.

AT-8600 Series Switch

Connecting the Switch

Some configuration is necessary to enable the switch’s advanced switching capabilities. This is achieved via the Command Line Interface (CLI). On the AT-8624T/2M, you can also use the Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Using the CLI to configure a switch

1.Connect a terminal or PC to the terminal port (ASYN0).

Using the supplied RS-232 DB9 serial straight-through cable, connect your terminal or PC to the RS-232 port:

For the AT-8624T/2M and AT-8624PoE, the RS-232 port is on the front panel.

For the AT-8648T/2SP, the RS-232 port is on the back panel.

2.Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation program to:

Bit rate: 9600

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

3.Log in.

After the switch has booted, the login prompt appears. If it does not appear, press the Enter key several times.

When the switch starts for the first time, it automatically creates an account with manager privileges. The account has the login name manager and the password is friend.

At the login prompt, enter the login name and password:

Login: manager

Password: friend

The switch’s command prompt appears, and you can now use the CLI to configure the switch.

4.Change the password.

A manager account left with the default password is a serious security risk. Remember the new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

To change the account password, use the set password command.
