Chapter 1: Overview
Introduction
The x600 Series Switches are managed Gigabit Ethernet switches that act
as standalone units. There are five Basic Layer 3 switches in the series:
x600-24Ts Switch
x600-24Ts/XP Switch
x600-48Ts Switch
x600-48Ts/XP Switch
x600-24Ts-POE Switch
The AlliedWare Plus
Operating System Software (AW+) runs on all the
x600 switches. The x600-24Ts-POE requires AW+ software version 5.3.3
or later for IEEE 802.3af support
For more detailed information about the switches, including illustrations,
see “Switch Descriptions” on page 21.

Chapter 1: Overview
Note
10/100/1000Base-T Ports
This section describes the 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the switches.
Connector Type The ports are 8-pin RJ-45 connectors that use four pins at 10 or 100 Mbps
and all eight pins at 1000 Mbps. For the pin assignments, refer to “RJ-45
Twisted Pair Port Pinouts” on page 104.
Speed A port’s speed can be 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speed can be set
automatically through Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, or manually
with the AlliedWare Plus
Duplex Mode A 10/100/1000Base-T port can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode.
(Full-duplex mode is the only mode available when a port is operating at
1000 Mbps.) The 10/100/1000Base-T ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant
and Auto-Negotiate the duplex mode setting.
Operating System Software.
You can disable Auto-Negotiation on the switch ports and set the duplex
mode manually through the AlliedWare Plus
In order for a switch port to successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex
mode with a 10 or 100 Mbps end node, the end node must also be
configured for Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise, a duplex mode
mismatch can occur. A switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults
to half-duplex if it detects that the end node is not using AutoNegotiation. This results in a mismatch if the end node is operating
at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
To avoid this problem when connecting an end node with a fixed
duplex mode of full-duplex to a switch port, use the AlliedWare Plus
Operating System Software to disable Auto-Negotiation on the port
and set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
Please be aware that disabling Auto-Negotiation also disables
Auto-MDI/MDIX. The port’s wiring configuration defaults to the MDIX setting. This setting can be configured with the AlliedWare Plus
Operating System Software.

Maximum
Distance
The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide
Cable Type The cabling requirements for a 10/100/1000Base-T port are:
For 10 Mbps operation: Standard TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Category 3
or better shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and
a frequency range that extends to 16 MHz.
For 100 Mbps operation: Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant Category
5 or TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) shielded
or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a frequency range
that extends to 100 MHz.
For 1000 Mbps operation: Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant
Category 5 or TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e)
shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a
frequency range that extends to 100 MHz.
Auto-MDI/
MDI-X
The 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the switch are IEEE 802ab-compliant
and feature auto-MDI/MDI-X. This feature, available when a port’s speed
and duplex mode are set through Auto-Negotiation, automatically
configures a switch port to MDI or MDI-X depending on the wiring
configuration of the port on the end node. This feature allows you to use a
straight-through twisted pair cable when connecting any network device to
a port on the switch.
Disabling Auto-Negotiation on a port and setting the speed and duplex
mode manually also disables the auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. A port where
Auto-Negotiation has been disabled defaults to MDI-X. Disabling AutoNegotiation may require manually configuring a port’s MDI/MDI-X setting
or using a crossover cable.
Port Pinouts The port pinout information is listed in Appendix A, Technical
Specifications.
When operating at 10 or 100 Mbps in the MDI configuration, refer to
the specifications in Table 14 on page 104.
When operating at 10 or 100 Mbps in the MDI-X configuration, refer to
the specifications in Table 15 on page 104.
When a 10/100/1000Base-T port operates at 1000 Mbps, refer to the
specifications in Table 16 on page 105.

Note
SFP Transceiver Slots
All of the x600 Series switches feature slots for four optional Gigabit
Ethernet SFP transceivers. These slots support both fiber optic and
copper transceivers. Fiber optic transceivers let you connect the switches
to other network devices over long distances using fiber optic cables.
Copper transceivers allow you to add more twisted pair ports to your x600
Series switch. Figure 6 illustrates an SFP transceiver.
Figure 6. SFP Transceiver
Refer to “Installing an SFP Transceiver” on page 80 for the SFP
installation instructions.
For a list of supported SFP transceivers, contact your Allied Telesis
sales representative.

XFP Transceiver Slots
Note
The x600-24Ts/XP and the x600-48Ts/XP Switches have two slots for
optional XFP 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceivers that you can use to connect
high speed, 10 gigabit devices to the switch or to create high speed
backbone networks between switches. Figure 7 shows an example of an
XFP transceiver.

Chapter 1: Overview
Combo Ports
The 10/100/1000Base-T ports 21R to 24R are paired with the four SFP
slots to form four combo ports on the 24 port x600 Series switches. The
10/100/1000Base-T ports are identified with the letter “R” for “Redundant”
as part of their number on the faceplate of the unit. The ports and slots are
listed in Table 2.

x600-24Ts-POE
Port 21R with SFP slot 21
Port 22R with SFP slot 22
Port 23R with SFP slot 23
Port 24R with SFP slot 24
Follow these guidelines when using these ports and slots:
Only one port in a pair, either a 10/100/1000Base-T port or a
corresponding SFP module can be active at a time.
A 10/100/1000Base-T port is the active port when its SFP slot is
empty, or when an SFP module is installed but has not established a
link to an end node.
A 10/100/1000Base-T port automatically changes to the redundant
status mode when an SFP module establishes a link with an end node.
A 10/100/1000Base-T port automatically transitions back to the active
status when the link is lost on an SFP module.
In nearly all cases, a 10/100/1000Base-T port and an SFP module
share the same configuration settings, including port settings, VLAN
assignments, access control lists, and Spanning Tree Protocol
settings.
An exception to the shared settings is port speed. If you disable Auto-
Negotiation on an 10/100/1000Base-T port and set the speed and
duplex mode manually, the speed reverts to Auto-Negotiation when an
SFP module establishes a link with an end node.
30
The PoE power supplied from ports 21R, 22R, 23R and 24R is
unaffected by insertion of an SFP module in to the corresponding SFP
combo port.
