Chapter 1: Overview
100/1000/10000Base-T and Twisted Pair Ports
The XS916MXT series switches have 4 or 12 100/1000/10000Base-T
ports.
Speed The ports can operate at 100 or 1000 Mbps, or 10 Gbps. The speeds may
be set manually using the management software or automatically with
Auto-Negotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting.
Duplex Mode The twisted pair ports operate in full-duplex mode. You cannot change the
duplex mode of a port manually.
Wiring
Configuration
Maximum
The wiring configuration of a port operating at 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.
The switch has the auto-MDI/MDI-X detection feature (IEEE 802.3abcompliant) so that the switch automatically negotiates with network
devices to establish their proper settings.
The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
Distance
Port Pinouts See Table 14 on page 74 and Table 15 on page 74 for the port pinouts of
the 100/1000/10000Base-T twisted pair ports.

SFP/SFP+ Slots
The XS916MX series switch has two SFP/SFP+ slots.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.
Here is a list of supported pluggable transceivers:
AT-SP10SR/I
AT-SP10LR
AT-SP10LR/I
AT-SP10LRM
AT-SP10LR20/I
AT-SP10LR40/I
AT-SP10ZR80/I

AT-SPTXa
AT-SPSX
AT-SPSX2

Stacking Slots
Note
Note
Note
XS916MX Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches
The S1 and S2 slots on the front panel of the switch are used with special
stacking transceivers to create a VCStack of two switches.
Here is a list of supported stacking transceivers:
AT-SP10TW
AT-StackXS/1.0
Stacking cables must be purchased separately.
The stacking transceiver AT-SP10TW is shown in Figure 4 as an example.
It has two SFP transceiver-style connectors and one meter of twinax
cable.
Figure 4. Stacking Transceiver
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:
You can manage multiple units simultaneously, which can simplify
network management.
You have more flexibility with 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.
This guide explains how to install the devices as stand-alone units.
For instructions on how to install the switches in a stack with Virtual
Chassis Stacking (VCStack), refer to the XS916MX Series
Installation Guide for VCStack.
The stacking slots may be used as regular networking ports.
