1. Introduction
Overview of AMS Series Layer 2+ SNMP Managed Switches
With a comprehensive range of Layer 2+, QoS, Security and OAM features, AMS series switches are
the ideal solution at the edge or aggregation layer of medium to large enterprise, campus,
metropolitan, and Service Provider networks.
AMS Series switch models offer flexible port configurations, with combinations of 1000Base-T
10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45, paired 1000Base-T/SFP arrays (with the SFP slot supporting 100Mbps or
1Gbps modules), unpaired SFP slots (also supporting 100Mbps or 1Gbps SFP modules), and SFP+
slots for 1Gbps or 10Gbps SFP+ modules. Port densities range from 10 to 52 ports.
All models in the range feature advanced Layer 2+ management functions, ensuring the high
performance required by modern networks supporting data, voice and video applications. An
intuitive web GUI management interface can be accessed via HTTP or HTTPS. SNMP versions 1, 2 and
3 are supported as well as RMON, allowing the network administrator to manage, configure and
control the switch from any SNMP based software application. Console port, and CLI are also
supported. A dual IPv4/IPv6 protocol stack is provided, supporting a wide range of IPv6 applications
including Web/SSL, Telnet/SSH, Ping, SNTP, TFTP, SNMP, RADIUS and Syslog. Other supported
functions include: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) trunking; VLAN, IGMP and MLD; Link
Layer Detection Protocol (LLDP); v1 and v2 SSH, IP Source Guard, RADIUS/TACACS+ and Access
Control Lists (ACLs).
AMS series switches comply with the latest IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Green Ethernet standard to
minimise power usage, with features such as Link Detection and Cable Length Detection are
supported. Link Detection automatically turns the power off/on to individual ports depending on
link/idle traffic status. Cable Length Detection adjusts the signal strength based on the length of the
cable - when using shorter cables the power consumption is reduced.

Switch Architecture
The switch performs at wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This allows wire-speed transport
of multiple packets at low latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features full-duplex
capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data integrity. With this
technology, the entire packet must be received into a buffer and checked for validity before being
forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.
Network Management Options
The switch can also be managed over the network with a web browser or Telnet application. The
switch includes a built-in network management agent that allows it to be managed in-band using
SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) protocols. It also has an RJ45 console port connector on the front
panel for out-of-band management. A PC may be connected to this port for configuration and
monitoring out-of-band via a null-modem serial cable. (See Appendix B for wiring options.)
NOTE: For a detailed description of the management features, refer to
the User’s manual.

switches, routers, or hubs).
See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
CAUTION: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This
will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform to FCC standards.

Connecting to PC’s, Servers and Switches
1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.
2. If the device is a network card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of
the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See the
section “Network Wiring Connections.”) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port
on the switch.
3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch) corresponding to each port will
light green (1000 Mbps) or amber (100 Mbps) to indicate that the connection is valid.
NOTE: Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is
actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming
signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the
hub.

Network Wiring Connections
Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks. It is actually
part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections in the wiring closet with this type of
equipment follows.
1. Attach one end of a patch cable to an available port on the switch, and the other end to the
patch panel.
2. If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to the back of the patch panel
where the punch-down block is located, and the other end to a modular wall outlet.
3. Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting. See “Cable Labeling and Connection
Records”.

Fibre Optic SFP Devices
An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for
connecting to a high-speed server.
Each single-mode fibre port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fibre optic cable with an LC
connector at both ends. Each multimode fibre optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron
multimode fibre optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.
WARNING: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fibre optic
cable. The lasers are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However,
user should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.
WARNING: When selecting a fibre SFP device, considering safety, please
make sure that it can function at a temperature that is not less than the
recommended maximum operational temperature of the product. You
must also use an approved Laser SFP transceiver.
1. Remove and keep the LC port’s rubber plug. When not connected to a fiber cable, the rubber
plug should be replaced to protect the optics.
2. Check that the fibre terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them
gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fibre
terminators on fibre optic cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the
cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other end to the LC port
on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one
orientation.
4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be
sure that the connection is valid.

6. Cable Labeling and Connection Records
When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to
record where each cable is connected. This will allow users to easily locate inter-connected devices,
isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.
To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these guidelines:

Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.

Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all network-connected
equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify the devices to which it is connected.

Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported by the switch ports.

For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning prefixes to your cable
labeling.

Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same equipment.

Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly.

Label each separate piece of equipment.

Display a copy of your equipment map, including keys to all abbreviations at each equipment
rack.

7. Troubleshooting
Basic Troubleshooting Tips
Most problems are caused by the following situations. Check for these items first when starting your
troubleshooting:
Connecting to devices that have a fixed full- duplex configuration.
The RJ-45 ports are configured as “Auto”. That is, when connecting to attached devices, the switch
will operate in one of two ways to determine the link speed and the communication mode (half
duplex or full duplex):

If the connected device is also configured to Auto, the switch will automatically negotiate
both link speed and communication mode.

If the connected device has a fixed configuration, for example 100Mbps, at half or full
duplex, the switch will automatically sense the link speed, but will default to a
communication mode of half duplex.
Because the AMS Series switches behave in this way (in compliance with the IEEE802.3 standard), if a
device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect
correctly to the switch. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communications
between the switch and the device.
Make sure all devices connected to the AMS Series switches are configured to auto negotiate, or are
configured to connect at half duplex (all hubs are configured this way, for example).
Faulty or loose cables.
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections
are snug. If that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.
Non-standard cables.
Non-standard and mis-wired cables may cause network collisions and other network problems, and
can seriously impair network performance. Use a new correctly-wired cable. For pinouts and correct
cable wiring, A category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T
network installation.
Incorrect Network Topologies.
It is important to make sure you have a valid network topology. If you no longer experience the
problems, the new topology is probably at fault. In addition, you should make sure that your network
topology contains no data path loops.
26
AMS Quick Install Guide
Check the port configuration.
A port on your Switch may not be operating as you expect because it has been put into a “ blocking”
state by Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic trunking). (Note that the
normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP features may put the port in a blocking
state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software.
Symptom
Power LED is off
Action
Check connections between the switch, the power cord and the wall
outlet.
Contact your dealer for assistance.
Link LED is off
Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on.
Be sure the cable is plugged into the switch and corresponding device.
If the switch is installed in a rack, check the connections to the punchdown block and patch panel.
Verify that the proper cable types is used and its length does not exceed
specified limits.
Check the adapter on the attached device and cable connections for
possible defects. Replace the defective adapter or cable if necessary.

8. Power and Cooling Problems
Installation
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem
with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after
running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. If
you still cannot isolate the problem, the internal power supply may be defective. Verify that all
system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be
malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment
where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly.
In-band Access
You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network
using Telnet, a web browser. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent,
check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP
address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the switch has not been
disabled. If it has not been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote
location and the switch.
NOTE: The management agent accepts up to four simultaneous Telnet
sessions. If the maximum number of sessions already exists, an additional
Telnet connection will not be able to log into the system.
