Management Software

The switches are shipped with the management software pre-installed. The software provides a command line interface and a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for in-band, over-the-network management. Refer to the:
AlliedWare Plus Software Reference for x210 Series Switches
In the unlikely event that the management software becomes corrupted or damaged on the switch, you can download the software from the Allied Telesis corporate web site and reinstall it on the switch. For instructions on how to install new management software, see the product documentation.

Twisted Pair Ports

The AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switches feature 9, 16, and 24 twisted pair ports, respectively. All ports are 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T compliant. You can set the port speeds and duplex modes either automatically with IEEE
802.3u Auto-Negotiation or manually with the management software. The twisted pair ports feature 8-pin RJ-45 connectors. For the port
pinouts, see “Connectors and Port Pinouts” on page 54. The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 m (328 feet). For 10
Mbps operation, the ports require Category 3 or better 100 ohm shielded or unshielded twisted pair cabling. For 100 or 1000 Mbps operation, the ports require Category 5 or Enhanced Category 5 (5E) 100 ohm shielded or unshielded twisted pair cabling.
The ports feature auto-MDI, which automatically configures the ports as MDI or MDI-X. This feature allows you to use straight-through twisted pair cables regardless of the wiring configurations of the ports on the end nodes.
A switch port connected to an end node that is not using Auto­Negotiation should not use Auto-Negotiation to set the speed and duplex mode, because a duplex mode mismatch may occur. In this case, disable Auto-Negotiation and set the port’s speed and duplex mode manually.

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, verify that the
rack is safely secured and 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, verify 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 easier for you to connect and disconnect cables, as well as view the switch’s LEDs.
Air flow around the unit and through its vents on the side and rear
should not be restricted so that the switch can maintain adequate cooling.
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.

Installing the Switch on a Table or a Desktop

You can install AT-x210-16GT and AT-x210-24GT switches on a desktop, or in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. To install AT-x210-16GT and AT­x210-24GT switches in a rack, see “Installing the Switch in an Equipment Rack” on page 28. The AT-x210-9GT is rack mountable using an optional AT-x210-9GT rack mount kit (Part Number: 990-003904-00).Separate installation instructions are included with the AT-x210-9GT rack mount kit.
Here are the guidelines to selecting a suitable site for desktop or table use:
The table should be level and stable and the power outlets should
be located near the switches and be easily accessible.
The site should allow for easy access to the ports on the front of
the switches, so that you can easily connect and disconnect cables, and view the port LEDs.
The site should not expose the switches to moisture or water and
the site should be a dust-free environment.
The site should include dedicated power circuits or power
conditioners to supply reliable electrical power to the network devices.
The rubber feet on the bottom of the switches should be left on for
table or desktop installation.
If you switch does not already have rubber feet fitted, fit these as follows:
1. Remove all equipment from the package and store the packaging material in a safe place.
2. Turn the switch over and place it on a table.
3. Screw the four rubber feet to the bottom of the switch as shown below:
1971
Figure 14. Attaching the Rubber Feet
4. Turn the switch over again and place it on a flat, secure surface (such as a desk or table) leaving ample space around the unit for ventilation.
5. Go to “Installing Optional SFP Transceivers” on page 35 or “Cabling the Switch” on page 39.

Installing Optional SFP Transceivers

To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedure:
The transceiver can be hot-swapped; you do not need to power off the switch to install a transceiver. However, always remove the cables before removing the transceiver.
You should always install the transceiver before connecting the fiber optic cables to it.
1. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the packaging material in a safe location.
An SFP transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions, such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the transceiver.
2. Remove the dust plug from an SFP slot. See Figure 27.
Figure 27. Removing the Dust Plug from an SFP Slot
3. Position the SFP transceiver with the label facing up.

Note
Note
SFP transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when storing the SFP. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of an SFP can lead to premature failure.
For information on the cable specifications of the SFP, consult the documentation shipped with the SFP.

Cabling the Switch

AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide
Observe the following guidelines when connecting twisted pair and fiber optic cables to the ports on the switch:
The connector on the cable should fit snugly into the port on the
switch. The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
Because the twisted pair ports have auto-MDI/MDI-X, you may use
straight-through twisted pair cable to connect any type of network device to the switch.
If your network topology contains a loop where two or more
network devices can communicate with each other over more than one network path, do not connect the network cables that form the loop until after you activate a spanning tree protocol on the switch. Data loops can adversely affect network performance.
If you are creating a port trunk, do not connect the cables of the
trunk to the switch until after you have created the trunk in the switch’s management software. Otherwise, a network loop will result which can adversely affect network performance.
The default setting for the wiring configurations of the ports is auto-
MDI/MDI-X. The default setting is appropriate for switch ports that are connected to 10/100Base-TX network devices that also support auto-MDI/MDI-X.
The default auto-MDI/MDI-X setting is not appropriate for switch
ports that are connected to 10/100Base-TX network devices that do not support auto-MDI/MDI-X and have a fixed wiring configuration. For switch ports connected to those types of network devices, you should disable auto-MDI/MDI-X and set the wiring configurations manually.
The appropriate MDI/MDI-X setting for a switch port connected to a
10/100Base-TX network device with a fixed wiring configuration depends on the setting of the network device and whether the switch and network device are connected with straight-through or crossover cable. If you are using straight-through twisted pair cable, the wiring configurations of a port on the switch and a port on a network device must be opposite each other, such that one port uses MDI and the other MDI-X. For example, if a network device has a fixed wiring configuration of MDI, you must disable auto-MDI/MDI-X on the corresponding switch port and manually set it to MDI-X. If you are using crossover twisted pair cable, the wiring configurations of a port on the switch and a port on a network device must be the same.
39
Page 50
Chapter 2: Installation
The default speed setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation. This
setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices that also support Auto-Negotiation.
The default speed setting of Auto-Negotiation is not appropriate for
ports connected to 10/100Base-TX network devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation and have fixed speeds. For those switch ports, you should disable Auto-Negotiation and set the port’s speed manually to match the speeds of the network devices.
The 10/100/1000Base-T ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation, the
default setting, to operate at 1000Mbps.
The default duplex mode setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation.
This setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices that also support Auto-Negotiation for duplex modes.
The default duplex mode setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation.
This setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices that also support Auto-Negotiation for duplex modes.
The default duplex mode setting of Auto-Negotiation is not
appropriate for ports connected to network devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation and have a fixed duplex mode. You should disable Auto-Negotiation on those ports and set their duplex modes manually to avoid the possibility of duplex mode mismatches. A switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half­duplex if it detects that the end node is not using Auto-Negotiation, which can result in a mismatch if the end node is operating at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
Do not attach cables to ports of static or LACP port trunks until
after you have configured the trunks on the switch. Otherwise, the ports will form network loops that can adversely affect network performance

Troubleshooting

This chapter contains information on how to troubleshoot the switch if a problem occurs.
For further assistance, please contact Allied Telesis Technical Support at www.alliedtelesis.com/support.
Problem 1: The POWER LED on the front of the switch is off. Solutions: The unit is not receiving power. Try the following:
Verify that the power cord is securely connected to the power
source and to the AC connector on the back panel of the switch.
AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide
Verify that the power outlet has power by connecting another
device to it.
Try connecting the unit to another power source. Try a different power cord. Verify that the voltage from the power source is within the required
levels for your region.
Problem 2: A twisted pair port on the switch is connected to a network
device but the port’s LINK/ACT LED is off.
Solutions: The port is unable to establish a link to a network device. Try
the following:
Verify that the network device connected to the twisted pair port is
powered on and is operating properly.
Verify that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port
on the media converter channel and to the port on the remote network device.
Verify that the port is connected to the correct twisted pair cable.
This is to eliminate the possibility that the port is connected to the wrong network device, such as a powered off device.
Try connecting another network device to the twisted pair port with
a different cable. If the twisted pair port is able to establish a link, then the problem is with the cable or the other network device.
Verify that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328
feet).
Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair
47
Page 58
Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
Note
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 est ablish a link.
Problem 3: The LINK/ACT LED for an SFP transceiver is off. Solutions: The fiber optic port on the transceiver is unable to establish a
link to a network device. Try the following:
Verify that the network device connected to the fiber optic port is
operating properly.
Verify that the fiber optic cable is securely connected to the p ort on
the media converter channel and to the port on the remote network device.
Check that the SFP module is fully inserted in the slot. Verify that the operating specifications of the fiber optic ports on
the SFP transceiver and the remote network device are compatible.
Verify that the correct type of fiber optic cabling is being used. Verify that the port is connected to the correct fiber optic cable.
This is to eliminate the possibility that the port is connected to the wrong remote network device, such as a powered off device.
Try connecting another network device to the fiber optic port using
a different cable. If the port is able to establish a link, then the problem is with the cable or with the other network device.
Use the switch’s management software to verify that the port is
enabled.
If the remote network device is a management device, use its
management firmware to determine whether its port is enabled.
Test the attenuation on the fiber optic cable with a fiber optic tester
to determine whether the optical signal is too weak (sensitivity) or too strong (maximum input power).
Problem 4: Network performance between a twisted pair port on the switch
and a network device is slow.
Solution: There might be a duplex mode mismatch between the port and
the network device. This occurs when a twisted pair port using Auto­Negotiation is connected to a device with a fixed duplex mode of full duplex. If this is the cause of the problem, adjust the duplex mode of the port on the network device or on the switch so that both ports are using the same duplex mode.

AT-x210-9GT, AT-x210-16GT, and AT-x210-24GT Switches Installation Guide
Problem 5: A port’s LINK/ACT LED is blinking. Solutions: The link between the port and the network device is intermittent.
Try the following:
Connect another network device with a different cable to the port. If
the Link LED remains steady on, then the problem is with the original cable or the network device.
If the problem is with an SFP transceiver, check that the
transceiver is fully inserted in the slot.
