Caution
This procedure causes the switch to reboot. The switch does not
forward network traffic during the reboot process. Some network
traffic may be lost.
1. This will take up approximately 1 to 2 minutes before the switch comes
back on line and is ready to switch Ethernet traffic again.
 Factory default reset - By pressing the button greater
than 10 seconds, you will initiate a software reboot of
the switch and reset all of the configuration parameters
of the switch to the factory default settings - including
the management IP address.
When the switch is reset to factory defaults, its IP address will
revert to 192.168.1.1. If your browser is configured for another IP
address, you will have to reconfigure your browser and workstation
before you can again connect to the switch.
 Both the reboot and factory default reset functions can
be disabled in the management software. For more
information, refer to the AT-GS950/8, AT-GS950/16, or
AT-GS950/24 Management Software User’s Guide.
Power Supply
The switch has an internal power supply with a single AC power supply
socket on the back panel and autoswitch AC inputs. To power the switch
on or off, connect or disconnect the power cord provided with the switch. A
power cord is supplied with the switch.
Note
For the power requirements, refer to the “Power Specifications” on
page 48.
Network Topologies
This section illustrates two network topologies of the AT-GS950/16 and
AT-GS950/24 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switches: Gigabit Ethernet to the
desktop and Gigabit Ethernet backbone.
Gigabit Ethernet
to the Desktop
The topology shown in Figure 3 is commonly referred to as Gigabit
Ethernet to the desktop. This topology provides the best in performance
and reliability because each end node is connected directly to the AT-
GS950/16 Switch with a dedicated network link
