Overview

The AT-B15/SX, AT-B15/LX, and AT-B17/SM are optional expansion modules
for the AT-8324SX Fast Ethernet Switch. These expansion modules can be
used to extend your network to remote sites, build a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit
Ethernet backbone, or connect additional nodes to the network, such as high­speed servers.

Table 1 lists the basic specifications of the modules.

Table 1 Expansion Modules

Model Number and Type of Ports Maximum Distance

AT-B15/SX One 1000BASE-SX port 550 m (1805 ft)

AT-B15/LX One 1000BASE-LX port 5 km (3 mi)

AT-B17 Two 100BASE-FX ports 2 km (1.24 mi)

1. The maximum distance can be less depending on the type of fiber optic cabling used with the port
and the duplex mode of the end node.

Caution

The expansion modules are designed for the AT-8324SX Fast Ethernet
Switch only. Do not install these modules in any other Allied Telesyn
device.
