Speed
The ports can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speeds may be set
manually using the management software or automatically with AutoNegotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting.
Note
The ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation to function at 1000 Mbps
and are not compatible with devices that are not IEEE 802.3u
compliant.
Duplex Mode
The twisted pair ports can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode. The
duplex mode of a port, like port speed, may be set manually using the
management software or automatically with Auto-Negotiation (IEEE
802.3u), the default setting.
The speed and duplex mode settings of a port may be set independently
of each other. For example, a port may be configured such that its speed
is set manually while its duplex mode is established through AutoNegotiation.
Note
A switch port should not use Auto-Negotiation to set its duplex mode
if it is connected to a network device that does not support AutoNegotiation for 10 or 100 Mbps operation and has a fixed duplex
mode of full-duplex. Otherwise, a duplex-mode mismatch may occur
in which a switch port and a network device operate at different
duplex modes. The duplex modes of switch ports that are connected
to network devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation should be
set manually through the management software.

The AT-IX5-28GPX switch has a power budget of 720 watts when two
power supply modules are installed. This is the maximum amount of power
the switch can provide at one time to the powered devices.
Two power supplies must be installed for the switch to provide the full 720
watts. Each power supply is responsible for providing 360 watts, or half, of
the power budget. The power budget is reduced to 360 watts if only one
power supply is installed.
The power requirements of the PoE devices determine the maximum
number of devices the switch can support at one time. So long as the total
power requirements of the powered devices is less than the power budget
of the switch, the switch can supply power to all the devices. But if the total
power requirements exceed the power budget, the switch denies power to
one or more ports using a mechanism referred to as port prioritization.
To determine whether the power requirements of the PoE devices you
plan to connect to the switch exceed its power budget, refer to their
25
Chapter 1: Overview
Port
Prioritization
Critical
High
Low
Ports set to the Critical level, the highest priority level, are guaranteed
power before any of the ports assigned to the other two priority levels.
Ports assigned to the other priority levels receive power only if all the
Critical ports are receiving power. Ports that are connected to your most
critical powered devices should be assigned to this level. If there is not
enough power to support all the ports set to the Critical priority level,
power is provided to the ports based on port number, in ascending order.
The High level is the second highest level. Ports set to this level receive
power only if all the ports set to the Critical level are already receiving
power. If there is not enough power to support all of the ports set to the
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. As with the other levels, if there is not enough
power to support all of the ports set to the Low priority level, power is
provided to the ports based on port number, in ascending order.
Power allocation is dynamic. Ports supplying power to powered devices
may cease power transmission if the switchs power budget is at
maximum usage and new powered devices, connected to ports with
higher priorities, become active.
26
You can use port prioritization on dual power supply PoE switches to
protect your important networking devices from loss of power should one
of the power supplies fail or lose power. If you limit the power requirements
of the critical devices connected to a switch to less than 360 watts, the
PoE power provided by a single power supply module, a switch will have
sufficient power to support the critical devices even if it has only one
functional power supply module.
Wiring
Implementation
The IEEE 802.3af standard defines two methods for the delivery of DC
power over twisted pair cable by a PSE, such as the switch, to PDs. These
methods, known as modes A and B, identify the wires within the cable that
carry the DC power from the PSE to a PD.
Twisted pair cabling typically consists of eight wires. With 10Base-T and
100Base-TX devices, the wires connected to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 on the RJ45 connectors carry the network traffic while the wires connected to pins 4,
5, 7, and 8 are unused. With 1000Base-T devices, all eight wires are used
to carry network data.
It takes four wires to deliver DC power to a PD. With Mode A, the power is
delivered on pins 1, 2, 3, and 6. These are the same pins in 10Base-T and
100Base-TX devices that carry the network data. With mode B, the power
is provided over the spare wires.
The ports on the AT-IX5-28GPX switch deliver the power using pins 1, 2,
3, and 6, which corresponds to mode A in the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Powered devices that comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard are required
to support both power delivery methods. Legacy devices that do not
comply with the standard will work with the switch if they are powered on
pins 1, 2, 3, and 6.
27
Chapter 1: Overview
SFP+ Slots
The switches have four SFP+ slots that support the following types of SFP
1000Mbps and SFP+ 10Gbps transceivers:
28
The slots for the stacking transceivers are SFP+ slots 27 and 28.
Note
If you use the switch as a stand-alone device, you can use the slots
with regular SFP and SFP+ transceivers by disabling the VCStack
feature. See Chapter 5, Configuring the Switch for Stand-alone
Operations on page 77 for instructions.
29
Chapter 1: Overview
eco-friendly Button
You may turn off the port LEDs to conserve electricity when you are not
monitoring the switch. The LEDs are toggled with the eco-friendly button
on the front panel of the switch or 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.
Operating the switch in the low power mode with the LEDs turned off does
not interfere with the network operations of the device.
The Switch ID LED is always on, but it displays different information
depending on whether the LEDs are on or off. When the LEDs are on, the
ID LED displays the switches ID number. When the switch is operating in
the low power mode with the LEDs off, the LED indicates whether the
switch is a stand-alone unit or the master or member switch of a VCStack,
as detailed in Figure 8 on page 35.
Note
Before checking or troubleshooting the network connections to the
ports on the switch, you should always check to be sure that the
LEDs are on by either pressing the eco-friendly button or issuing the
ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in
the command line interface.

Chapter 1: Overview
USB Port
The management panel has a USB port. You may use the port to store
configuration files on flash drives and to restore the files to switches
whose settings have been lost or corrupted, or to quickly configure
replacement units. You may also use the port and flash drives to update
the management firmware on the switches.
The port is USB2.0 compatible.
36
Console Port
The Console port is used to establish a management session 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.
To establish a local management session with the switch, connect a
terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the
Console port, which has an RJ-45 style (8P8C) connector, using the
provided management cable. The cable has RJ-45 RJ-style (8P8C) and
DB-9 (D-sub 9-pin) connectors.
The Console port is set to the following specifications:
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
37
Chapter 1: Overview
Power Supplies
The AT-IX5-28GPX switch has two rear slots for hot-swappable power
supplies.
The switch is supplied with a factory installed blank panel that covers both
power supply slots, and with a separate blank panel to use if you only
install one power supply.
One or two AT-PWR800 (800W) power supplies can be installed in these
switches. These power supplies are illustrated in Figure 9 on page 38.
Installing two power supplies provides a switch with power redundancy
and protect against interruptions to network operations in the event one of
the power supplies loses power or fails.
The switch has a PoE budget of 720 watts when both power supplies are
active and 370 watts when only one power supply is active. For further
information, refer to Power Budget on page 27.
Refer to Technical Specifications on page 123 for the input voltage
range.

Overview
Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) allows you to connect up to four ATIX5-28GPX switches to form a virtual switch in which the devices function
as a single networking unit. The benefits of VCStack are:
40
Stacking Slots
The AT-IX5-28GPX switches come with two stacking slots. The slots are
the last two SFP+ slots on the switches and are labeled S1/27 and S2/28.
The slots have two functions. You may use them with the VCStack feature
to build a stack of switches or, by disabling the VCStack feature, you may
use them with regular SFP or SFP+ transceivers as additional networking
slots.
The names of the slots depend on the status of the VCStack feature on the
switch. The management software refers to the slots as S1 and S2.
when the VCStack feature is enabled and the slots are used with the
special stacking transceivers to create a stack.
When you disable the VCStack feature to use the slots with regular SFP or
SFP+ transceivers on a stand-alone switch, the slots are referred to as
slots 27 and 28. See Chapter 5, Configuring the Switch for Stand-alone
Operations on page 57 for instructions for disabling VCStack.
Note
When VCStack is enabled on the switch, the stacking slots only
work with the stacking transceivers in Table 7 on page 42. If you
install regular SFP or SFP+ transceivers in the stacking slots when
stacking is activated, the management software disables them and
enters an error message in the buffered log.
41
Stacking Transceivers
You connect the switches of the VCStack with the stacking transceivers
listed in Table 7 and shown in Figure 10.

member switches in addition to the master switch. A member switch can
automatically transition to the master role if the current master switch is
removed from the stack or powered off. This ensures continued operations
of the stack even if the master switch stops operating.
Selection of the
Master Switch
The devices compare the following numbers to choose the master switch

Planning a Stack
Here are the guidelines to planning a stack:
The wiring topology of the stack may be either linear or ring. Both
topologies offer the same in terms of speed, but the ring topology
adds wiring redundancy.

3. Align the edges of the power supply module with the guides in the slot
and carefully slide the module into the chassis until it is flush with the
rear panel of the chassis, as shown below. Light pressure may be
needed to seat the module on the connector on the rear panel of the
chassis.
Caution
Do not force the power supply module into place. Doing so may
damage the connector pins on the backplane inside the chassis. If
there is resistance, remove the module and reinsert it after verifying
that the edges of the card are properly aligned in the guides in the
chassis module slot.

8, Powering On the Stack on page 101.
100
Chapter 8
Caution
You should not change the ID numbers of the switches after you
begin to configure the parameter settings. Otherwise, the stack
might assign configuration settings to the wrong units.
101
If you want to monitor the power on sequence, you may connect a terminal
or PC with a terminal emulator program to the Console port on the switch
you intend to power on first. The messages are found in Monitoring the
Initialization Processes on page 73.
To power on the switches, perform the following procedure:
1. Power on the switch you want to have ID number 1.
Connect the power cords to the connectors on the power supply
modules and to the appropriate power sources, as shown in
Connecting AC Power to a Power Supply Module on page 70.
2. Wait one minute for the switch to initialize its management software.
The switch should be displaying the number 1 on its ID LED.
3. Power on the switch to be assigned ID number 2.
102
4. Wait two minutes for the new switch to join the stack as a member.
As the new switch boots up, the first switch, which has the ID number 1
and at this point is the master switch of the stack, notifies the new
switch that its current ID number is already being used and that it
should change its number to the next available number, which is 2. The
new switch responses by automatically changing its ID number to 2
and reboots. So the new switch is actually booting up twice, once with
the ID number 1 and again with its new ID number 2, which is why it
takes two minutes before the device becomes a full member of the
stack.
5. If there is a third switch, power it on and wait another two minutes for it
to join the stack as a member with the ID number 3.
6. If there is a fourth switch, power it on and wait two minutes for it to join
the stack as a member with the ID number 4.
At this point, the stack is operational.
The ID numbers are automatically stored in special files in the flash
memories of the switches and are retained by the devices even if you
reset or power cycle the stack.
7. To continue with the installation, go to Verifying the Stack on
page 106.
103
If you want to monitor the power on sequence, you may connect a terminal
or PC with a terminal emulator program to the Console port on any of the
switches. The messages are found in Monitoring the Initialization
Processes on page 73.
To have the switches automatically assign the ID numbers, perform the
following procedure:
1. Power on all the switches in the stack at the same time.
Connect the power cords to the connectors on the power supply
modules and to the appropriate power sources, as shown in
Connecting AC Power to a Power Supply Module on page 70.
2. Wait two or three minutes for the switches to select a master switch
and to assign the ID numbers.
At this point, the stack is operational. The ID numbers are
automatically stored in special files in the flash memories of the
104
switches and are retained by the devices even if you reset or power
cycle the stack.
3. To continue with the installation, go to Verifying the Stack on
page 106.

The priority values will be 128, the default value, if they have not
been changed on the switches.
106
Setting the
Priority Numbers
Figure 61. Moving to the Global Configuration Mode with the CONFIGURE

2. Use the STACK PRIORITY command to set the priority numbers. The
command has this format:
stack ID_number priority priority
The ID_NUMBER parameter is the ID number of the switch whose
priority value you are setting. The range is 1 to 4. The PRIORITY
parameter is the new priority value for the switch. The range is 0 to
255. The default is 128.
Here are a couple of examples. To assign the priority value 1 to the
switch with the ID number 1, you enter this command:
awplus(config)# stack 1 priority 1
To set the priority value to 2 on the switch with the ID number 2, you
enter:
awplus(config)# stack 2 priority 2
3. After setting the priority values, enter the EXIT command to return to
the Privileged Exec mode, as shown in Figure 62 on page 107.

The connectors on the cables should fit snugly into the ports, and
the tabs should lock the connectors into place.
The default setting for the wiring configurations of the ports is autoMDI/MDI-X. The default setting is appropriate for switch ports that
are connected to 10/100Base-TX network devices that also
support auto-MDI/MDI-X.
111
Your Allied Telesis sales representative can provide you with a list
of supported transceivers for the line cards.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in
the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when
you store the transceiver. When you do remove the plug, keep it
for future use.
Note
SFP+ slots 27 and 28 are initially configured as stacking slots for the
VCStack feature. If you intend to use the switch as a stand-alone
unit, you must disable the VCStack feature before using the slots
with standard SFP or SFP+ transceivers. See Chapter 5,

Troubleshooting
Check whether the PSU LED is lit. If the PSU LED is green:
Verify that the PSUs are correctly inserted. Each module must
be flush with the rear panel of the switch. You may need to
use light pressure to seat a PSU, but do not force it.
Try inserting the PSU into the other PSU bay.
If the PSU LED is red, there may be a PSU fault. Please contact
your Allied Telesis sales representative for assistance.
118
Verify that the transceivers are fully inserted into the S1 and S2
slots.
Verify that the port is connected to the correct twisted pair cable.
This is to eliminate the possibility that the port is connected to the
wrong network device.
Verify that the network device connected to the twisted pair port is
powered on and is operating properly.
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 port speed, duplex and MDI settings are valid for the
link partner. The easiest way to do this is to set all these
parameters to auto-negotiate, which is the default setting. Also see
Problem 6.
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 24 and
Table 3 on page 25 for the 10/100/1000Base-T ports.
Note
A 1000Base connection may require five to ten seconds to establish
a link.
Verify that the remote network device connected to the fiber optic
port is operating properly.
Verify that the fiber optic cable is securely connected to the port on
the SFP or SFP+ module and to the port on the remote network
device.
If you are using SFP+ slots 27 and 28, check that VCStack is
disabled on the switch. The VCStack feature has to be disabled
before you can use these slots for regular SFP or SFP+
transceivers. For instructions, refer to Configuring the Switch for
Stand-alone Operations on page 78
Verify that the correct type of fiber optic cabling is being used.
Verify that the port is connected to the correct fiber optic cable.
This is to eliminate the possibility that the port is connected to the
wrong remote network device.
Try connecting another network device to the fiber optic port using
a different cable. If the port is able to establish a link, then the
problem is with the cable or other network device.
Test the attenuation of both directions on the fiber optic cable with
a fiber optic tester to determine whether the optical signal is too
weak (sensitivity) or too strong (maximum input power).
120
Verify that the location of the switch allows for adequate airflow.
The unit will shutdown if it is in danger of overheating.
Problem 8: The Switch ID LED on the front of the switch is flashing the
letter F.
Solutions: One or more of the following problems has occurred:
The input voltage on one or both of the PSUs is outside the normal
operating range.
