Chapter 1: Overview
Note
Ports
The AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart switch features 24 twisted
pair ports and two uplink combo ports.
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 52.)
The ports on the AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart 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 AutoNegotiation, 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 switch can operate in either half- or fullduplex mode. The twisted pair ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and AutoNegotiate the duplex mode setting.
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.
Uplink Combo
Ports
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. 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.
Because all other twisted pair ports on the AT-FS750/24POE Fast
Ethernet Smart switch are operating at 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps speeds,
the uplink combo ports (ports 25 and 26) provide fiber optic connectivity
for the 1000 Mbps speed. Each uplink combo port consists of one 10/100/
1000Base-T twisted pair port and one SFP port. If both uplink ports are
18
Page 19
AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart Switch Installation Guide
connected, the SFP port takes precedent over the twisted pair port.

Power over Ethernet
Note
The twisted pair ports on the AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart
switch feature Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE is a mechanism for
supplying power to network devices over the same twisted pair cables
used to carry network traffic. This feature can simplify network installation
and maintenance by allowing you to use the switch as a central power
source for other network devices.
A device that receives its power over an Ethernet cable is called a
powered device. Examples of such devices can be wireless access points,
IP telephones, webcams, and even other Ethernet switches. A powered
device connected to a port on the switch will receive both network traffic
and power over the same twisted pair cable.
The switch automatically determines whether a device connected to a port
is a powered device or not. A powered device has a signature resistor or
signature capacitor that the switch can detect over the Ethernet cabling. If
the resistor or capacitor is present, the switch assumes that the device is a
powered device.
AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart Switch Installation Guide
Power BudgetingThe AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart switch provides a maximum of
15.4 W of power per port on six of the twelve POE ports for a total power
consumption of 100 W, while at the same time furnishing standard 10/100
Mbps Ethernet functionality.
The AT-FS750/24POE smart power management functionality supports
any combination of the first twelve Ethernet ports (1-12) that supply power
for IEEE 802.3af Class 0, 1, 2, or 3 powered devices up to a maximum of
100 watts, as described in Table 6.
Power is supplied to the powered devices in the order that the ports
are connected or on a first-come-first-served basis until the 100 watt
limit is reached. If the switch is power cycled after the PoE devices
are connected to the switch ports, the power is supplied to ports 1
through 12 in that order.

A port connected to a network node that is not a powered device (that is, a
device that receives its power from another power source) functions as a
regular Ethernet port, without PoE. The PoE feature remains enabled on
the port but no power is delivered to the device.
ImplementationA standard Ethernet twisted pair cable contains four pairs of strands for a
total of eight strands. 10/100 Mbps network traffic requires only four
strands (1, 2, 3, and 6), leaving four strands in the cable unused (4, 5, 7,
and 8).
The PoE standard, IEEE 802.3af, describes two alternative ways for
delivering power to a powered device (PD) over twisted pair cabling.
Alternative A uses the same strands that carry the network traffic.
Alternative B uses the spare strands. The PoE implementation on the
AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart switch is Alternative A, where
power is transmitted over strands 1, 2, 3, and 6.
PD’s that comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard typically support both
power delivery methods. So long as a PD is compliant with the standard, it
should be able to receive its power from the switch while using either a
straight or cross-over cable. The PoE feature on the AT-FS750/24POE
Fast Ethernet Smart switch should also work with most legacy PD’s as
long as the device can be powered on pins 1, 2, 3, and 6. A legacy device
is a node that was manufactured before the IEEE 802.3af standard was
completed and, consequently, may not adhere to the standard. If this is
the case, a straight (MDI) cable may be needed to insure that the DC
polarity is correct.

Ethernet Switching Basics
An Ethernet switch interconnects network devices, such as workstations,
printers, routers, and other Ethernet switches, so that they can
communicate with each other by sending and receiving Ethernet frames.
AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart Switch Installation Guide
MAC Address
Table
Every hardware device on your network has a unique MAC address. This
address is assigned to the device by the device’s manufacturer. For
example, when you install a Network Interface Card (NIC) in a computer
so that you can connect it to the network, the NIC already has a MAC
address assigned to it by its manufacturer.
The MAC address table in the AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart
switch can store up to 8K MAC addresses. The switch uses the table to
store the MAC addresses of the network end nodes connected to the
ports, along with the port number on which each address was learned.
A switch learns the MAC addresses of the end nodes by examining the
source address of each packet received on a port. It adds the address and
port on which the packet was received to the MAC table if the address had
not already been entered in the table. The result is a table that contains all
the MAC addresses of the devices that are connected to the switch’s
ports, and the port number where each address was learned.
When the switch receives a packet, it also examines the destination
address and, by referring to its MAC address table, determines the port on
which the destination end node is connected. It then forwards the packet
to the appropriate port and on to the end node. This increases network
bandwidth by limiting each frame to the appropriate port when the
intended end node is located, freeing the other switch ports for receiving
and transmitting data.
If the switch receives a packet with a destination address that is not in the
MAC address table, it floods the packet to all the ports on the switch. If the
ports have been grouped into virtual LANs, the switch floods the packet
only to those ports which belong to the same VLAN as the port on which
the packet was received. This prevents packets from being forwarded into
inappropriate LAN segments, decreasing network security. When the
destination end node responds, the switch adds its MAC address and port
number to the table.
If the switch receives a packet with a destination address that is on the
same port on which the packet was received, it discards the packet without
forwarding it on to any port. Since both the source end node and the
destination end node for the packet are located on the same port on the
switch, there is no reason for the switch to forward the packet.
Duplex ModeDuplex mode refers to how an end node receives and transmits data. If an
27
Page 28
Chapter 1: Overview
end node can receive or transmit data, but not both simultaneously, the
end node is operating in what is referred to as half-duplex mode. If an end
node can both receive and transmit data simultaneously, the end node is
said to be operating in full-duplex mode. Naturally, an end node capable of
operating in full-duplex can handle data much faster than an end node that
can only operate in half-duplex mode.
The twisted pair ports on the AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart
switch can operate in either half-or full-duplex mode. They are IEEE
802.3u-compliant and you can set them to Auto-Negotiation.
For Auto-Negotiation to operate properly on a switch, the end nodes
connected to the switch should also use Auto-Negotiation. If an end node
does not have this feature and has a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex, the
result will be a duplex mode mismatch between the end node and a switch
port. A port on the Fast Ethernet switch connected to an end node with a
fixed duplex mode of full-duplex will operate at only half-duplex. This
results in the end node using full-duplex and the switch port using halfduplex. This can produce network performance problems. If you
encounter this situation, you must configure the port on the end node to
use Auto-Negotiation or, if it lacks that feature, to half-duplex.
Store and
Forward
Back Pressure
and Flow Control
The switch uses store and forward as the method for receiving and
transmitting frames. When a Ethernet frame is received on a switch port,
the switch does not retransmit the frame out the destination port until it has
received the entire frame and stored the frame in a port buffer. It then
examines the frame to determine if it is a valid frame. Invalid frames, such
as fragments or runts, are discarded by the switch. This ensures that only
valid frames are transmitted out the switch ports and that damaged frames
are not propagated on your network.
To maintain the orderly movement of data between the end nodes, an
Ethernet switch may periodically need to signal an end node to stop
sending data. This can occur under several circumstances. For example, if
two end nodes are operating at different speeds, the switch, while
transferring data between the end nodes, might need to instruct the faster
end node to stop transmitting data to allow the slower end node to catch
up. An example of this would be when a server operating at 100 Mbps is
sending data to a workstation operating at only 10 Mbps.
How a switch signals an end node to stop transmitting data differs
depending on the speed and duplex mode of the end node and switch
port. A twisted pair port operating at 100 Mbps and half-duplex mode will
stop an end node from transmitting data by forcing a collision. A collision
on an Ethernet network occurs when two end nodes attempt to transmit
data using the same data link at the same time. A collision causes end
nodes to stop sending data. When the switch needs to stop a 100 Mbps,
half-duplex end node from transmitting data, it forces a collision on the
data link, which stops the end node. When the switch is ready to receive
28
Page 29
AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart Switch Installation Guide
data again, the switch stops forcing collisions. This is referred to as back
pressure.
A port operating at 100 Mbps and full-duplex mode uses PAUSE frames,
as specified in the IEEE 802.3x standard, to stop the transmission of data
from an end node. Whenever the switch wants an end node to stop
transmitting data, it issues this frame. The frame instructs the end node to
cease transmission. The switch continues to issue PAUSE frames until it is
ready again to receive data from the end node. This is referred to as flow
control.
The AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart switch supports both TX and
RX flow control.

In the topology illustrated in Figure 7, an AT-9424T/SP Gigabit Ethernet
Switch forms the backbone that connects to servers and AT-FS750/
24POE Fast Ethernet Smart switches using Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. This
type of topology is often referred to as a collapsed backbone topology. The
switch functions as the focal point of the network and transfers an Ethernet
frame between the Fast Ethernet switches only when the destination end
node for the frame is on a different switch than the end node that
originated the frame. This reduces the amount of unnecessary data traffic
in each workgroup, freeing up bandwidth and improving network
performance.

Selecting a Site for the Switch
Observe the following requirements when choosing a site for your switch:
If you plan to install the switch in an equipment rack, ensure that the
rack is safely secured and that it will not tip over. Devices in a rack
should be installed starting at the bottom, with the heavier devices
near the bottom of the rack.
If you are installing the switch on a table, ensure that the table is level
and secure.
The power outlet for the switch should be located near the unit and
should be easily accessible.
The site should provide for easy access to the ports on the front of the
switch. This will make it easy for you to connect and disconnect
cables, as well as view the switch’s LEDs.
To allow proper cooling of the switch, air flow around the unit and
through its vents on the side and rear should not be restricted.
Do not place objects on top of the switch.
Do not expose the switch to moisture or water.
Ensure that the site is a dust-free environment.
You should use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to
supply reliable electrical power to the network devices.

OFF, do the following:
Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered on and is
operating properly.
Verify that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port on
the switch and to the port on the end node.
Ensure that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328
feet).
Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair cable:
Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps operation and Category 5 and
Category 5E for 100 and 1000 Mbps operation.
A 1000Base connection may require five to ten seconds to establish
a link.
