Allied Telesis 8100S - Manual

The 8100S Series fiber switches offers 100FX multimode fiber

ports managed switches with high performance Layer 2-4
switching designed for the edge of network.

Secure

» The 8100S Series fiber switches are designed to

offer 100FX multi-mode connectivity for a higher

level of security not found in copper based Ethernet

systems. This combined with advanced access

security features protect the critical edge of the

network.

Able to go the distance

» Fiber connectivity is ideal for networks that demand

high bandwidth over long distances. The 8100S

Series fiber modules support Gigabit and 100Mbps

up to a distance of 2 kilometers over multi-mode

fiber, and up to 80 kilometers over single-mode fiber.

Fiber is able to transport data over long distances

without the type of degradation that you see with

copper, allowing high scalable and flexible network

design for big business campuses, educational

campus and large retails stores.

Stable in harsh environment

» Fibers complete immunity to electrical interference

makes it resistant to cross talk between signals

among different cables and environmental noise,

such as radio waves and electric signals. This makes

the 8100S Series ideal for high voltage environments

and in places with high EMI ( Electromagnetic

Interference), such as alongside utility lines, conveyor

belts, power lines, and railroad tracks.

The 8100S Series consists of 16 100FX

(SC and LC) MMF por ts and 24 100FX
(LC) MMF por ts switch models. The

16-por t models come with 16 100FX

plus 8 10/100TX por ts. All 8100S Series
switches offer two Gigabit combo

10/100/1000T-SFP uplink por ts plus

two dedicated stacking connectors
that deliver a total of 10Gbps stack
bandwidth. The stackable Ethernet
series offers fiber connectivity suitable
for a network that requires high security
and long distance connectivity.

Redundant Power Options

All variants of the 8100S fiber switch

family feature two internal power
supplies as standard, allowing the
switches to be powered from two
separate building feeds making the

8100S Series less susceptible to building

power failures and ensuring continuous
switch operation.

Stacking

The physical stacking capability

integrated into this platform is designed
to offer simplified management for
higher por t density applications. Up to
three stackable switches of the 8100S
copper and fiber series can be mixed
and stacked together to a maximum of

78 por ts.

Key Features

Ease of Management

Designed for rapid deployment with
the minimum of configuration time, the
8100S Series offers features such as

Voice VLAN, LLDP-MED, Enhanced

Stacking and Web management GUI
that facilitates simple and effective
approach to network management.

Voice VLAN segregates VoIP traffic

from regular Ethernet traffic and
applies to it a higher QoS. It takes the
complexity out of VoIP deployments,
ensures high voice quality and protects
time sensitive voice traffic from being

flooded by other data. LLDP-MED lets

the user auto-configure end stations to
send preconditioned traffic that adheres
to Voice VLAN configured network
policies.

Enhanced Stacking with 8100S Series
enables the user to make software
upgrades for multiple switches with
a single command, plus update all
configurations in a single management
session.

The industry standard CLI of AlliedWare

Plus™ combined with the simple and
intuitive Web management GUI reduces
the training needs for those who require
granularity of control, by providing a
familiar interface for advanced users.
