management via Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework
and a redundant system with Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStackTM). These
high-performing switches deliver flexible uplink connectivity and lower
management costs.
Overview
FS980M switches provide
high-performance Fast Ethernet
connectivity right where you need
it—at the network edge. Flexible and
robust, the FS980M series provide total
security and management features
for enterprises of all sizes. They also
support video surveillance and Point of
Sale (POS) applications.
Reduce network running costs by
automating and simplifying many dayto-day tasks—an FS980M is the ideal
AMF edge switch when an AMF Master
switch is available in the network.
With both copper and Power over
Ethernet (PoE) models, the FS980M
Series has the ideal solution for your
network. All models are available with
8, 16, 24 and 48 × 10/100TX Fast
Ethernet ports. PoE models support
the IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standard,
delivering up to 30 Watts of power per
port for video surveillance and security
applications.
Key Features
AMF
ۼۼ AMF is a sophisticated suite of management
tools that provides a simplified approach to
network management. Common tasks are
automated, or made so simple, that your network
can run without the need for highly-trained and
expensive network engineers. Powerful features
like centralized management, auto-backup, autoupgrade, auto-provisioning and auto-recovery
enable Plug-and-Play networking and zero-touch
management.
ۼۼ AMF secure mode increases network security
with management traffic encryption, authorization,
and monitoring.
ۼۼ The FS980M can function as an AMF edge
switch when an A MF Master switch is available
in the network.
EPSRing
Layer 3 Routing
VCStack
TM
ۼۼ Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRing)
allows several FS980M switches to join a
protected ring, capable of recovery within as
little as 50ms. This feature is perfect for high
availability in enterprise networks.
ۼۼ The FS980M Series provides static IPv4 routing
at the edge of the network, as well as support for
RIPv1 and RIPv2.
