Page 28: Power Over Ethernet
Chapter 1: Overview Power over Ethernet The AT-GS924MPX and AT-GS948MPX Switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the 10/100/1000Base-T ports. PoE is used to supply power to network devices over the same twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic. The main advantage of PoE is that it can make it easier to install a network. -
Page 29: Powered Device Classes
AT-GS900MX Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Powered Device Powered devices are grouped into the five classes listed in Table 2. The classes are based on the amount of power the devices require. The Classes switches support all five classes. Table 2. -

Page 31: Power Budget
AT-GS900MX Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Power Budget The AT-GS924MPX and AT-GS948MPX Switches have a power budget of 370 watts. This is the maximum amount of power the switches can provide at one time to the powered devices. The power requirements of the PoE devices determine the maximum number of devices the switch can support at one time. -
Page 32: Wiring Implementation
Chapter 1: Overview High priority level, power is provided to the ports based on port number, in ascending order. The lowest priority level is Low. This is the default setting. Ports set to this level only receive power if all of the ports assigned to the other two levels are already receiving power. -
Page 33: Sfp Slots
The switches support a variety of short and long distance SFP modules. For a list of supported SFP modules, contact your Allied Telesis representative or visit our web site. Note The SFP slots and two twisted pair ports are paired together to form combo port pairs. -
Page 34: Combo Twisted Pair Ports And Sfp Slots
For example, if you decide to use twisted pair port 25R on the AT-GS924MX or AT-GS924MPX Switch, then you cannot use SFP slot 25. Or, if you choose to use SFP slot 49 on the AT-GS948MX or AT-GS948MPX Switch, then you cannot use the twisted pair port 49R. -
Page 35: Stacking Slots
AT-GS900MX 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. -
Page 36: Eco-Friendly Button
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. -

Page 46: Console Port
Chapter 1: Overview Console Port The Console port is used to conduct management sessions with the switch to configure its features and parameter settings. This type of management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local or out-of-band management because it is not conducted over your network. To perform local management, you must be at the location of the switch and must use the management cable included with the switch. -
