Chapter 1: Overview

Introduction

The x600 Series Switches are managed Gigabit Ethernet switches that act as standalone units. There are four Basic Layer 3 switches in the series:
x600-24Ts Switch
x600-24Ts/XP Switch
x600-48Ts Switch
x600-48Ts/XP Switch
The x600-24Ts and the x600-24Ts/XP switches both have 24 10/100/1000Base-T ports. The x600-48Ts and the x600-48Ts/XP switches both have 44 10/100/1000 Base-T ports.
All four switches have four SFP transceiver slots, a Secure Digital (SD) card slot, a console port, and a redundant power supply connector. In addition, the x600-24Ts/XP and the x600-48Ts/XP switches have two XFP transceiver slots.
On the back of all the switches there is an AC power connector, an RPS connector, and an expansion slot. You can connect the RPS connector to the AT-RPS3204 Redundant Power Supply. The x600 switches are shipped with a blank expansion slot with the exception of the The x600-48Ts/XP switch which is shipped with an AT-LBM (Loop Back) module installed in the expansion slot.
The AlliedWare Plus
Operating System Software runs on all the x600
switches.
For more detailed information about the switches, including illustrations, see “Switch Descriptions” on page 19.

10/100/1000Base-T Twisted Pair Ports

This section describes the twisted pair 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 89.

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 twisted pair 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 twisted pair ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and Auto­Negotiate the duplex mode setting.
Operating System Software.
You can disable Auto-Negotiation on one or all of the switch ports so that you can set the duplex mode manually through the AlliedWare Plus Operating System Software.
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 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 will also disable Auto-MDI/MDIX and the port’s wiring configuration defaults to the MDI-X 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).

Chapter 1: Overview

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 have 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 have 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 have a frequency range that extends to 100 MHz.
Auto-MDI/
MDI-X
The twisted pair 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 allows you to connect any network device to a port on the switch using a straight-through twisted pair cable.
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 Refer to Table 12 on page 89 for the port pinouts when a twisted pair port

operates at 10 or 100 Mbps in the MDI configuration and Table 13 on page 89 for the MDI-X configuration. For port pinouts when a twisted pair port operates at 1000 Mbps, refer to Table 14 on page 90.

SFP Transceiver Slots

Note
All of the x600 Series switches feature slots for four optional Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers that interconnect network devices over large distances using fiber optic cable. SFP transceivers are also available with a copper cable interface allowing a host device designed primarily for optical fiber communications to also communicate over unshielded twisted pair networking cable. Figure 5 illustrates an SFP transceiver.

Refer to “Installing an SFP Transceiver” on page 68 for the SFP installation instructions.
For a list of supported SFP transceivers, contact your Allied Telesis sales representative.

XFP Transceiver Slots

The x600-24Ts/XP and the x600-48Ts/XP Switches have two slots for optional XFP 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceivers to connect high speed, 10 gigabit devices to the switch or create high speed backbone networks between switches.
Figure 6 shows an example of an XFP transceiver.
Refer to “Installing an XFP Transceiver” on page 71 for the SFP installation instructions.

Redundant Twisted Pair Ports

Four of the twisted pair ports on the x600-24-Ts and x600-24-Ts/XP switches are paired with SFP slots. The twisted pair 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 1.
Table 1. Twisted Pair Ports Matched with SFP Slots

Models Ports and Slots
x600-24Ts and x600-24Ts/XP
21R with SFP slot 21 22R with SFP slot 22 23R with SFP slot 23 24R with SFP slot 24
Follow these guidelines when using these ports and slots:
Only one port in a pair can be active at a time. It can be either the
twisted pair port or the corresponding SFP module.
The twisted pair port is the active port when its SFP slot is empty, or
when the SFP module is installed but has not established a link to the end node.
The twisted pair port automatically changes to the redundant status
mode when the SFP module establishes a link with the end node.
The twisted pair port automatically transitions back to the active status
when the link is lost on the SFP module.
In nearly all cases, the twisted pair port and the 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 the twisted pair port and set the speed and duplex mode manually, the speed reverts to Auto-Negotiation when the SFP module establishes a link with the end node.

SD Card Slot

All of the x600 Series Switches have an SD card slot which is designed for an SD card which stores configuration files and AlliedWare Plus
Operating
System Software image files. See Figure 7.
Figure 7. SD Card Slot
An SD card can make it easier for you to upgrade the files on a switch or transfer files between x600 switches. See Figure 8.

An SD card is not required for normal operations of the switch.
The x600 switches support various SD cards that are available from many vendors.
To insert an SD card, position it so that the manufacturer’s brand label is facing up and press it into the slot until it is flush with the front of the chassis. The SD card is self-ejecting. To remove the SD card, press the card toward the x600 switch and the SD card pops out.
For information on how to transfer files to and from a SD card, refer to the
AlliedWare Plus

Port LEDs
A twisted pair port has two LEDs labeled L/A (link/activity) and D/C (duplex mode/collisions). The L/A LED indicates the speed and activity on a port. The D/C LED indicates the duplex mode (full- or half-duplex) and the status of collisions on the port.
The twisted pair port LEDs appear on the right side of the x600-24Ts and x600-24Ts/XP faceplates. On the x600-48Ts and x600-48Ts/XP faceplates, the twisted pair port LEDs are interspersed among the twisted pair ports.
Table 2 describes the LEDs for the 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair ports.
