SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE

1. All servicing should be undertaken ONLY by qualified personnel. The parts
inside the unit CANNOT be serviced or repaired by the end user. Please call
your service representative for assistance.

2. Do NOT plug in, turn on or attempt to operate a damaged unit.

3. Ensure that the chassis ventilation slots in the unit are NOT BLOCKED.

4. Replace a “blown” fuse only with the same type and rating as is marked on the
safety label adjacent to the power inlet housing the fuse.

5. DO NOT operate the unit in a location where the maximum ambient
temperature exceeds 40ºC.

6. Be sure to unplug the power supply cord from the wall socket BEFORE
attempting to remove and/or check the main power fuse.

PRECAUTIONS DE SECURITÉ

AVERTISSEMENT – POUR RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE ET D’INCENDIE

1. Tout entretien doit être fait UNIQUEMENT par un personnel de service
qualifié. Aucun élément ne peut être réparé par un particulier.

2. NE PAS brancher, allumer ou essayer de faire fonctionner une unité sur
laquelle un doute existe quant à son bon fonctionnement.

3. S’assurer que les ouvertures d’aération du châssis dans l’appareil NE SONT
PAS OBSTRUEES..

4. Remplacer un fusible défaillant UNIQUEMENT par un modèle du même type
suivant les recommandations indiquées sur l’étiquette de securité posée dans
le logement du fusible.

5. NE PAS faire fonctionner l’appareil dans un endroit où la temperature dépasse
les 40ºC.

6. S’assurer de débrancher l’alimentation électrique AVANT toute manipulation
sur le fusible principal.

Chapter 1

Overview

This guide is divided into two sections:

• Overview: A general description of the features of the P116T Stackable Switch.

• Installation: Instructions for getting the P116T Stackable Switch and P110

Description

The P116T Stackable Switch is part of the P110 Switching System family of
workgroup switches. The P110 family is composed of high-performance
workgroup switches which may be used singly or stacked in any combination to
make up a multi-protocol, non-blocking, scalable switch.

The P116T is a workgroup switch with 16 autosensing Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
(10/100BASE-T) ports. The 10 Mbps ports are ideal for workgroup connectivity,
while the 100 Mbps ports can be used for server connections, high performance
workstations, or to link to another P116T or P113T unit.

The P116T can operate standalone or as part of a stack. A stack requires a
P110 NMA to link the switches. The units are physically linked using the P110
Exoplane, which makes up a multi-gigabit, non-blocking backplane. Any
combination of two, three or four P110 switches can be stacked, and up 32,000
MAC addresses per stack are supported. Only three P116T hubs can be connected
on a stack, and a fourth switch can be connected to the stack only if it is a different
P110 model.

All ports can run at full or half duplex Ethernet. With a P110 NMA installed, the
ports can perform standards-based auto-negotiation. Port software-redundancy
can be defined via CajunView or MSNM SNMP-based management system. A
redundant power supply may be used for enhanced fault tolerance.

The P116T ports can use Avaya’s flow control mechanism to eliminate packet loss.
An automatic fairness mechanism ensures that all ports gain fair access to the P110
Exoplane even at very high network utilization. Congestion management works
half duplex ports, and ensures no packet loss should the buffers become saturated
during peak load conditions.

P110 switches are fully manageable, using CajunView or MSNM, and may be
monitored using the SMON Manager Switch Monitoring Application.
