Management Software
The switches come with the management software pre-installed. Although
the three models have the same features, each has a different
management software program. The programs are:
 AT-S107 Management Software for the AT-GS950/8
Switch
 AT-S108 Management Software for the AT-GS950/16
Switch
 AT-S109 Management Software for the AT-GS950/24
Switch
In the unlikely event that the management software becomes corrupted or
damaged on the switch, you can download the software from the Allied
Telesis corporate web site and reinstall it on the switch. You may also
want to periodically visit the Allied Telesis corporate web site to see if new
versions of the software have been released. For instructions on how to
install new management software, refer to the AT-S107, AT-S108 and
AT-S109 Management Software User’s Guide.
Twisted Pair Ports
The AT-GS950/8, AT-GS950/16, and AT-GS950/24 Layer 2 Gigabit
Ethernet Switches feature 8, 16, and 24 twisted pair ports, respectively,
that are 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-TX compliant. The port
speeds and duplex modes may be set automatically with IEEE 802.3u
Auto-Negotiation or manually with the management software.
The twisted pair ports feature 8-pin RJ-45 connectors. For the port pinouts,
refer to “Connectors and Port Pinouts” on page 48.
The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 m (328 feet). For 10
Mbps operation, the ports require Category 3 or better 100 ohm shielded
or unshielded twisted pair cabling. For 100 or 1000 Mbps operation, the
ports require Category 5 or Enhanced Category 5 (5E) 100 ohm shielded
