AT-FS716L & AT-FS724L Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide

Overview

The AT-FS716L and AT-FS724L Fast Ethernet Switches provide simple, energy efficient, and cost-effective solutions for switching 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps network traffic.

The AT-FS716L and AT-FS724L switches feature 16 and 24 10/100Base-TX twisted-pair ports respectively. Each port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100m and is capable of Auto-Negotiating speeds of 10 or 100 Mbps at half/full-duplex operation.

Both the AT-FS716L and AT-FS724L Fast Ethernet switches can be used on a desktop, mounted to a wall or in a rack and feature high efficiency, low power consumption internal power supplies. These switches are easy to install and do not require any software configuration or management.

Figure 1 and 2 illustrate the front and rear panels of these switches.

AT-FS716L & AT-FS724L Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide

Hardware Feature Description

ecoFriendly Power Saving Functions

The hardware features of the AT-FS716L and AT-FS724L Fast Ethernet switches are described in the following sections:

“ecoFriendly Power Saving Functions”

“Twisted-Pair Ports” on page 14

“System and Port LEDs” on page 15

“High Efficiency Internal Power Supply” on page 16

The AT-FS716L and AT-FS724L implement the following power saving features.

Cable Length Power Savings

This feature automatically allows the port to use the minimum amount of power required to commnicate with its end node based on the cable length. When an individual port’s link status is UP, the length of the cable connected to the port is automatically detected and the power needed out of the port is adjusted accordingly to minimize power consumption. More power will be used by a port when a longer cable is installed than for a shorter cable.

Link Down Power Savings

Approximately ten seconds after a port’s link status changes to DOWN, the port will enter into a link down power savings mode. While in this mode, the port will monitor the receive pair for detection of incoming signals such as link pulses and fast link pulses. Once a signal is detected, the port will “wake up” and establish the proper link while resuming normal operation.
