Chapter 1: Overview
10/100/1000Base-T Twisted Pair Ports
This section describes the twisted pair ports on the switches.
Connector Type The ports are 8-pin RJ-45 connectors that use four pins at 10 or 100 Mbps
and all eight pins at 1000 Mbps. For the pin assignments, refer to “RJ-45
Speed A port’s speed can be 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speed can be set
automatically through Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, or manually
with the system software.
Note
To operate at 1000 Mbps, a twisted pair port must be set to Auto -
Negotiation. The speed of a twisted pair port cannot be set manually
to 1000 Mbps.
Duplex Mode A twisted pair port can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode. (Full-
duplex mode is the only mode available when a port is operating at 1000
Mbps.) The twisted pair ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and Auto-
Negotiate the duplex mode setting.
You can disable Auto-Negotiation on one or all of the switch ports so that
you can set the duplex mode manually through the system software.
Note
For a port to successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex mode with a 10
or 100 Mbps end node, the end node must be configured for Auto-
Negotiation. Otherwise, a duplex mode mismatch can occur. A port
using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it detects that the
end node is not using Auto-Negotiation. This results in a mismatch if
the end node is operating at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
To avoid this problem when connecting an end node with a fixed
duplex mode of full-duplex to a port, use the system software to
disable Auto-Negotiation on the port and set the port speed and
duplex mode manually.
Maximum The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).

AT-GS950/8POE Gigabit Ethernet WebSmart Switch Installation Guide
Cable Type The cabling requirements for a 10/100/1000Base-T port are:
For 10 Mbps operation: Standard TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Category 3
or better shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and
a frequency of 16 MHz.
For 100 Mbps operation: Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant Category
5 or TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) shielded
or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a frequency of 100
MHz.
For 1000 Mbps operation: Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant
Category 5 or TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e)
shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a
frequency of 100 MHz.
Auto-MDI/ The twisted pair ports on the switch are IEEE 802ab-compliant and feature
auto-MDI/MDI-X. This feature, available when a port’s speed and duplex
MDI-X
mode are set through Auto-Negotiation, automatically configures a switch
port to MDI or MDI-X depending on the wiring configuration of the port on
the end node. This feature allows you to connect any network device to a
port on the switch using a straight-through twisted pair cable.
If Auto-Negotiation is disabled on a port and the speed and duplex mode
are set manually, the auto-MDI/MDI-X feature is also disabled and the
port’s wiring configuration defaults to the MDI-X setting. This setting can
be configured with the system software.
operates at 10 or 100 Mbps in the MDI configuration and Table 9 on
page 65 for the MDI-X configuration. For port pinouts when a twisted pair
port operates at 1000 Mbps, refer to Table 10 on page 66.

Chapter 1: Overview
Power over Ethernet
The four of the twisted pair ports on the AT-GS950/8POE switch feature
Power over Ethernet (PoE) which is a mechanism for supplying power to
network devices over the same twisted pair cables used to carry network
traffic. This feature can simplify network installation and maintenance by
allowing you to use the switch as a central power source for other network
devices.
A device that receives its power over an Ethernet cable is called a
powered device. Examples of such devices can be wireless access points,
IP telephones, web cams, and even other Ethernet switches. A powered
device connected to a port on the switch receives both network traffic and
power over the same twisted pair cable.
There are several advantages that the PoE feature of the AT-GS950/
8POE switch adds to the installation and maintenance of your network.
The switch acts as the central power source for your powered devices.
Adding an uninterruptible power source (UPS) to the switch, increases the
protection to the switch from possible power source problems and to all of
the powered devices connected to the switch. The PoE feature can
increase the reliability of your network by minimizing the impact to network
operations from a power failure.
PoE can also simplify the installation of your network. A frequent issue in
selecting a location for a network device is making sure there is a power
source nearby. This often limits equipment placement or requires the
added cost and time of having additional electrical sources installed. With
PoE, you can install PoE-compatible network equipment where they are
needed without being concerned about whether they are near a power
source.
The switch automatically determines whether or not a device connected to
a port is a powered device. A powered device has a signature resistor or
signature capacitor that the switch detects over the Ethernet cabling. If the
resistor or capacitor is present, the switch assumes that the device is a
powered device.
A port on the switch connected to a powered device can supply up to 15.4
watts of power to the device and, simultaneously, furnishing standard 10/
100 Mbps Ethernet functionality. A PoE port that is connected to a network
node that is not a powered device (that is, a device that receives its power
from another power source) functions as a regular Ethernet port, without
PoE. The PoE feature remains enabled on the port, but no power is
delivered to the device.

AT-GS950/8POE Gigabit Ethernet WebSmart Switch Installation Guide
Power Budgeting The AT-GS950/8POE switch provides a maximum of 15.4 W of power per
port on four of the eight ports for a total power consumption of 62 W, while
at the same time furnishing standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet functionality.
The AT-GS950/8POE switch power management functionality supports
any combination of Ethernet ports (1-4) that supply power for IEEE 802.3af
Class 0, 1, 2, or 3 powered devices up to a maximum of 62 watts, as
Note
Power is supplied to the powered devices in the order that the ports
are connected or on a first-come-first-served basis until the 62 watt
limit is reached. If the switch is power cycled after the PoE devices
are connected to the switch ports, the power is supplied to ports 1
through 4 in ascending order.

Implementation A standard Ethernet twisted pair cable contains four pairs of strands for a
total of eight strands. 10/100 Mbps network traffic requires only four
strands (1, 2, 3, and 6), leaving four strands in the cable unused (4, 5, 7,
and 8).
The PoE standard, IEEE 802.3af, describes two alternative ways for
delivering power to a powered device (PD) over twisted pair cabling.
Alternative A uses the same strands that carry the network traffic.
Alternative B uses the spare strands. The PoE implementation on the
AT-GS950/8POE switch is Alternative B, where power is transmitted over
strands 4, 5, 7, and 8.
PDs that comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard typically support both
power delivery methods. When a PD is compliant with the standard, it
receives its power from the switch using either a straight or cross-over
cable. The PoE feature on the AT-GS950/8POE switch works with most
legacy PD’s as long as the device can be powered on pins 4, 5, 7, and 8.

Chapter 1: Overview
Redundant Twisted Pair Ports
Two of the twisted pair ports on the AT-GS950/8POE switch are paired
with SFP slots. The twisted pair ports are identified with the letter “R” for
“Redundant” as part of their number on the faceplate of the unit. Ports 7
and 8 are the redundant ports.
For combo ports 7 and 8, the copper and SPF ports share the same
bandwidth and cannot be activated simultaneously. If both the SFP and
the copper ports are connected simultaneously, the SPF port has
precedence over the copper port. Follow these guidelines when using
ports 7 and 8:
Only one port in a pair can be active at a time. It can be either the
twisted pair port or the corresponding SFP module.
The twisted pair port is the active port when its SFP slot is empty, or
when an SFP module is installed but has not established a link to an
end node.
The twisted pair port automatically changes to the redundant status
mode when an SFP module establishes a link with an end node.
A twisted pair port automatically transitions back to the active status
when the link is lost on the SFP module.
In nearly all cases, a twisted pair port and an SFP module share the
same configuration settings, including port settings, VLAN
assignments, access control lists, and Spanning Tree Protocol
settings.
An exception to the shared settings is port speed. If you disable Auto-
Negotiation on a twisted pair port and set the speed and duplex mode
manually, the speed reverts to Auto-Negotiation when an SFP module
establishes a link with an end node.

Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware
Selecting a Site for the Switch
Observe the following requirements when choosing a site for your switch:
If you plan to install the switch in an equipment rack, ensure that the
rack is secured safely and that it will not tip over. Devices in a rack
should be installed starting at the bottom, with the heavier devices
near the bottom of the rack.
If you are installing the switch on a table, ensure that the table is level
and secure.
The power outlet for the switch should be located near the unit and
should be easily accessible.
The site should provide for easy access to the ports on the front of the
switch. This will make it easier for you to connect and disconnect
cables, as well as view the switch’s LEDs.
To allow proper cooling of the switch, air flow around the unit and
through its vents on the side and rear should not be restricted.
Do not place objects on top of the switch.
Do not expose the switch to moisture or water.
Ensure that the site is a dust-free environment.
You should use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to
supply reliable electrical power to the network devices.

Note
The auto-MDI/MDI-X feature on the twisted pair ports automatically
configures the MDI/MDI-X setting when a link is established with an
end node. Available when a port is at the default setting of Auto-
Negotiation, this feature allows you to use a straight-through twisted
pair cable when connecting any type of network device to a port.
Disabling Auto-Negotiation on a port and setting the speed and
duplex mode manually also disables the auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. A
port where Auto-Negotiation has been disabled defaults to MDI-X.
Disabling Auto-Negotiation may require manually configuring a
port’s MDI/MDI-X setting or using a crossover cable.

Chapter 3: Cabling the Network Ports
Cabling the Switch
Observe the following guidelines when connecting a twisted pair or fiber
optic cables to ports on the switch:
The connector on the cable should fit snugly into the port on the
switch. The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
The twisted pair ports on the switch are auto-MDI/MDI-X. As a result,
any type of network device can be connected to a port on the switch
using a straight-through twisted pair cable. If you disable Auto-
Negotiation on the port, the port defaults to MDI-X.
If your network topology contains a loop where two or more network
devices can communicate with each other over more than one network
path, do not connect the network cables forming the loop until you
have activated a Spanning Tree Protocol on the switch. Data loops can
adversely affect network performance.
For a port to successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex mode with an end
node, the end node should also be using Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise,
a duplex mode mismatch can occur. A port using Auto-Negotiation
defaults to half-duplex if it detects that the end node is not using Auto-
Negotiation. This can result in a mismatch if the end node is operating
at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
To avoid this problem, disable Auto-Negotiation on a port and set the
port’s speed and duplex mode manually if the end node has a fixed
duplex mode of full-duplex.

Installing Optional Transceivers
Review the following guidelines before installing an optional SFP
transceiver in a switch:
A transceiver can be hot-swapped; the switch can be powered on
when you install it. However, you should always disconnect the cables
before removing a transceiver.
You must install the transceiver before you connect the cables to it.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. When a fiber optic cable is
not installed, or when you store the transceiver, always keep the plug
in the optical bores. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future
use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to
premature failure.
Warning
A transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
device.
Installing an SFP To install an SFP transceiver in an AT-GS950/8POE switch, perform the
following procedure:

Twisted Pair Port Link LED is Off
When a twisted pair port on the switch is connected to a properly operating
end node, the L/A LED for the port should be on. If a L/A Link LED is off,
do the following:
Note
A 1000Base-T connection can take from five to ten seconds to
establish a link.
Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered ON and is
operating properly.
Check that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port on
the switch and to the port on the end node.
Make sure that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100m (328 ft).
Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair cable.
Determine if a crossover cable is required. Since the twisted pair ports
feature auto MDI/MDI-X, you should be able to use a straight-through
cable regardless of the type of device you connect to a port. However,
if you disable Auto-Negotiation on a port and set a port’s speed and
duplex mode manually, the port defaults to MDI-X. Disabling Auto-
Negotiation may require manually configuring a port’s MDI/MDI-X
setting or using a crossover cable.
Make sure that the operating parameters of a port on the switch are
compatible with the end node to which the port is connected. This may
require using the switch’s operating system software.
For a port to successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex mode with an end
node, the end node should also be using Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise,
a duplex mode mismatch can occur. A port using Auto-Negotiation
defaults to half-duplex if it detects that the end node is not using Auto-
Negotiation. This can result in a mismatch if the end node is operating
at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
To avoid this problem, disable Auto-Negotiation on a port and set the
port’s speed and duplex mode manually if the end node has a fixed
duplex mode of full-duplex.
The switch has a bad cable detection feature that enables it to
determine if a twisted pair cable has a electrical short that might cause
a network loop. If the switch detects a bad cable on a port, it does not
establish a link on that port. In this situation, replace the cable.

Port PoE LED is not Solid Green
On those ports that are supplying PoE power to another device, verify that
the port PoE LED is solid green. If the LED is not solid green, do the
following:
Verify that the connected device is no more than 100 feet from the
switch.
If the port PoE LED is solid amber, then the power required by the
connected device is more than the maximum power budget for the
port. If this is the case, the connected device may not qualify for
connection to the switch.
If the port PoE LED is blinking amber, then the overall power budget of
the switch was exceeded when the powered device was connected.
Re-evaluate the overall power requirements of all the powered devices
connected to the switch to assure that the overall power budge is not
exceeded. This may mean that more than one switch is required to
supply the PoE power required by the PoE powered devices on the
network.
Note
A 1000Base-T connection may require five to ten seconds to

the following:
Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered ON and is
operating properly.
Check that the fiber optic cable is securely connected to the port on
the switch and the port on the end node.
If the fiber optic port is on a SFP transceiver, check that the transceiver
is firmly inserted into the slot on the switch.
Make sure that you are using the appropriate type of fiber optic cable
and that the cable length does not exceed the allowed maximum
distance. For cable specifications for an SFP transceiver, refer to the
installation instructions shipped with the module.
Use a fiber optic tester to test the attenuation on the cable and the
strength of the optical signal. For operating specifications for an SFP
transceiver, refer to the installation instructions shipped with the
module.
Check that the operating specifications (for instance, wavelength and
maximum operating distance) of the fiber optic port on the remote end
node are compatible with the fiber optic port on the switch.
Check that the fiber optic ports on the switch and on the end node are
operating at the same speed and duplex mode.
A fiber optic cable contains two separate fiber strands. One strand is
for receiving data and the other is for transmitting data. When you
connect a fiber optic cable to a port, be sure that the receive fiber
connector is connected to the transmit connector on the remote end
node. In addition, check that the transmit fiber connector is connected
to the receive connector on the remote node.
Note
The L/A LED for an SFP transceiver slot may remain ON if you
remove the transceiver when it has a link to an end node without first
disconnecting the fiber optic cable. The L/A LED will change to OFF
the next time an SFP module is installed in the slot. To avoid this,
always disconnect the fiber optic cable before removing a
transceiver.

Transceiver is Installed but the Status is “Not Present”
If a SFP transceiver is installed in a transceiver slot but the Uplink
Information menu in the system software interface displays “Not Present”
for that port, do the following:
Verify that the transceiver is completely inserted in the slot on the front
of the switch.
Note
The uplink status does not reflect whether a fiber optic cable is
connected to the transceiver.
