Network Aggregation Plan
With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), the PoE switch can collapse a
complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and
throughput.
When up to eight switch units are stacked together, they form a single “virtual” switch containing up to
200 ports. The whole stack can be managed through the Master unit using a single IP address.
In the figure below, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports in a switch stack are providing 100 Mbps
connectivity for up to 72 segments. In addition, the stack is also connecting several servers at 1000
Mbps.

Description
1 - 24 Ports 1 - 24 can be used to connect AMX’s Master, AVMs, Breakout Boxes, WAP 200 Gs and/
or other Ethernet based devices requiring 10 or 100 Mbps data throughput. In addition, ports 1
- 24 support PoE with automatic power detection.
• If the connected device does not support PoE the switch will not turn "On" power to that port.
25 This port provides 10/100/1000 Mbps data throughput and can be used to support MAX units
or stacking other switches together. The PoE is not supported on this port.
26 This port provides 10/100/1000 Mbps data throughput and can be used to support MAX units,
or connections to the LAN/Internet. The PoE is not supported on this port.
