x310 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Power Over Ethernet The AT-x310-26FP and AT-x310-50FP Switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the 10/100Base-TX ports. PoE is used to supply power to network devices over the same twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic. Note PoE is not available on the two 10/10/10000Base-T ports. The main advantage of PoE is that it can make it easier to install a network.
Chapter 1: Overview Powered Device Classes Powered devices are grouped into the five classes listed in Table 3. The classes are based on the amount of power the devices require. The switches support all five classes. Table 3. IEEE Powered Device Classes Class Maximum Power Output from a Switch Port PD Power Range 0 15.4W 0.44W to 12.95W 1 4.0W 0.44W to 3.84W 2 7.0W 3.84W to 6.49W 3 15.4W 6.49W to 12.95W 4 30.0W 12.95W to 25.
x310 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Port Prioritization If the power requirements of the powered devices exceed the switch’s power budget, the switch denies power to some ports based on a system called port prioritization. You may use this mechanism to ensure that powered devices critical to the operations of your network are given preferential treatment by the switch in the distribution of power should the demands of the devices exceed the available capacity.
Chapter 1: Overview Wiring Implementation The IEEE 802.3af standard defines two methods for delivering DC power over twisted pair cable by a PSE, such as a switch, to PDs. These methods, known as Alternatives A and B, identify which of the wires within the cables are to carry the DC power from the switches to the PDs. Twisted pair cabling typically consists of eight wires.
x310 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches SFP Slots The switches have two SFP slots that support the following types of SFP 1000Mbps transceivers: 1000Base-SX/LX SFP transceivers Single-port BiDi 1000Base-LX SFP transceivers 1000Base-ZX SFP transceivers You may use the transceivers to connect switches to other network devices over large distances, build high-speed backbone networks between network devices, or connect high-speed devices, such as servers, to your network.
Chapter 1: Overview Combo 10/100/1000Base-T Ports and SFP Slots The two 10/100/1000Base-T ports and SFP slots are paired together to form combo port pairs. Each pair contains one 10/100/1000Base-T port and one SFP slot. The combo port pairs for the switches are listed in Table 4.
x310 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Stacking Slots The S1 and S2 slots on the front panel of the switch are used with special stacking transceivers to create a VCStack of up to four switches. The switches of a VCStack act as a single virtual unit. They synchronize their actions so that switching operations, like spanning tree protocols, virtual LANs, and static port trunks, span across all the units and ports.
Chapter 1: Overview eco-friendly Button The eco-friendly button on the front panel of the switch is used to toggle the port LEDs on or off. You might turn off the LEDs to conserve electricity when you are not monitoring the device. You can also toggle the LEDs with the ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in the Global Configuration mode of the command line interface. The switch is said to be operating in a low power mode when the LEDs are turned off.

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting This chapter contains suggestions on how to troubleshoot the switch if a problem occurs. Note For further assistance, please contact Allied Telesis Technical Support at www.alliedtelesis.com/support. Problem 1: The Switch ID LED on the front of the switch is off. Solutions: The unit is not receiving power. Try the following: Verify that the power cord is securely connected to the power source and to the AC connector on the back panel of the switch.
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting Try connecting another network device to the twisted pair port with a different cable. If the twisted pair port is able to establish a link, then the problem is with the cable or the other network device. Verify that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair cable. The cable types are listed in Table 2 on page 26 for the 10/ 100/1000Base-T ports.
x310 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Problem 5: Network performance between a twisted pair port on the switch and a network device is slow. Solution: There might be a duplex mode mismatch between the port and the network device. This can occur when a twisted pair port using AutoNegotiation is connected to a remote device that has a fixed speed of 10 or 100 Mbps and a fixed duplex mode of full duplex.
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting is carried on pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 on the RJ-45 port, the same pins that carry the network traffic. The other mode, Alternative A, defines pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 as the power carriers. The AT-x31026FP and AT-3510-50FP Switches do not support Alternative A. Most powered devices are designed to accept power by either mode, but some legacy devices may only support one mode. This can be verified by reviewing the device’s documentation or data sheet.
