list of supported transceivers, contact your Allied Telesis distributor
or reseller.
SFP+ slots 51 and 52 are initially configured as stacking slots for the
VCStack feature. If you intend to use the switch as a stand-alone
unit, you must disable the VCStack feature before using the slots
with standard SFP or SFP+ transceivers. See Chapter 5,
“Configuring the Switch for Stand-alone Operations” on page 77 for
instructions.

Chapter 1: Overview
Note
Note
10/100/1000Base-T Twisted Pair Ports
The switches have 48 10/100/1000Base-T ports.
Speed The ports can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speeds may be set
manually using the management software or automatically with AutoNegotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting.
The ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation to function at 1000 Mbps
and are not compatible with devices that are not IEEE 802.3u
compliant.
Duplex Mode The twisted pair ports can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode. The
duplex mode of a port, like port speed, may be set manually using the
management software or automatically with Auto-Negotiation (IEEE
802.3u), the default setting.
Wiring
Configuration
The speed and duplex mode settings of a port may be set independently
of each other. For example, a port may be configured such that its speed
is set manually while its duplex mode is established through AutoNegotiation.
A switch port should not use Auto-Negotiation to set its duplex mode
if it is connected to a network device that does not support AutoNegotiation for 10 or 100 Mbps operation and has a fixed duplex
mode of full-duplex. Otherwise, a duplex-mode mismatch may occur
in which a switch port and a network device operate at different
duplex modes. The duplex modes of switch ports that are connected
to network devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation should be
set manually through the management software.
The wiring configuration of a port operating at 10 or 100 Mbps can be MDI
or MDI-X. The wiring configurations of a switch port and a network device
connected with straight-through twisted pair cabling have to be opposite,
such that one device is using MDI and the other MDI-X. For instance, a
switch port has to be set to MDI-X if it is connected to a network device set
to MDI.
You may set the wiring configurations of the ports manually or let the
switch configure them automatically with auto-MDI/MDI-X (IEEE 802.3abcompliant). This feature enables the switch to automatically negotiate with
network devices to establish their proper settings.
20
x510DP-52GTX Installation Guide
The MDI and MDI-X settings do not apply when ports are operating at
1000 Mbps.

Distance
Cable
Requirements
The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
The cable requirements of the ports are given in Table 1.

You may use the transceivers to connect switches to other network
devices over large distances, build high-speed backbone networks
between network devices, or connect high-speed devices, such as
servers, to your network.
The switches support a variety of short and long distance SFP and SFP+
modules. For a list of supported SFP modules, contact your Allied Telesis
representative or visit our web site.
SFP+ slots 51 and 52 are initially configured as stacking slots for the
VCStack feature. If you intend to use the switch as a stand-alone
unit, you must disable the VCStack feature before using the slots
with standard SFP or SFP+ transceivers. See Chapter 5,
“Configuring the Switch for Stand-alone Operations” on page 77 for
instructions.

Stacking SFP+ Slots
Note
Two of the four SFP+ slots on the front panel of the switch can be used
with stacking transceivers to create a VCStack of up to four switches. The
switches of a VCStack act as a single virtual unit. They synchronize their
actions so that switching operations, like spanning tree protocols, virtual
LANs, and static port trunks, span across all the units and ports. The two
main advantages of stacks are:
The slots for the stacking transceivers are SFP+ slots 51 and 52.
x510DP-52GTX Installation Guide
You can manage multiple units simultaneously, which can simplify
network management.
You have more flexibility in how you configure some of the
features. For instance, a static port trunk on a stand-alone switch
has to consist of ports from the same switch. In contrast, a static
trunk on a stack may consist of ports from different switches in the
same stack.
If you use the switch as a stand-alone device, you can use the slots
with regular SFP and SFP+ transceivers by disabling the VCStack
feature. See Chapter 5, “Configuring the Switch for Stand-alone
Operations” on page 77 for instructions.
You can stack any combination of the following switches, up to a total of
four switches:
AT-x510DP-52GTX
AT-x510-28GTX
AT-x510-52GTX
AT-x510-28GPX
AT-x510-52GPX
AT-x510-28GSX

eco-friendly Button
You may turn off the port LEDs to conserve electricity when you are not
monitoring the switch. The LEDs are toggled with the eco-friendly button
on the front panel of the switch or the ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO
ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in the Global Configuration mode of the
command line interface. The switch is said to be operating in a low power
mode when the LEDs are turned off.
Operating the switch in the low power mode with the LEDs turned off does
not interfere with the network operations of the device.
The Switch ID LED is always on, but it displays different information
depending on whether the LEDs are on or off. When the LEDs are on, the
ID LED displays the switches ID number. When the switch is operating in
the low power mode with the LEDs off, the LED indicates whether the
switch is a stand-alone unit or the master or member switch of a VCStack,
as detailed in Figure 8 on page 29.
Before checking or troubleshooting the network connections to the
ports on the switch, you should always check to be sure that the
LEDs are on by either pressing the eco-friendly button or issuing the
ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in
the command line interface.

VCStack have the numbers 1 to 4. Chapter 8, “Powering On the Stack” on
page 101 has the procedure for verifying and, if necessary, changing the
ID number of the switch.

USB Port
The management panel has a USB port. You may use the port to store
configuration files on flash drives and to restore the files to switches
whose settings have been lost or corrupted, or to quickly configure
replacement units. You may also use the port and flash drives to update
the management firmware on the switches.
The port is USB2.0 compatible.
