Statistics
Resolved Issues
The IP access list in SSM edit window now displays more than 11 entries.
When IGMP snooping, RSTP/STP and port trunking features are enabled, the three features
are now compatible and behave as expected.
When the name included a space for either a trunk member or a VLAN member, the
parameters on the respective feature were affected abnormally. This bug has been resolved.
The system is now stable and will not enter into a loop condition if the user switches the mode
between STP and RSTP.
The RMON counters now display the correct values.
During a firmware upgrade, the AT-GS950/48 Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch will not accept a
file intended for the FS750/48 or FS750/24POE.
BPDU packets will now flood all ports when STP/RSTP feature is disabled.
The system VLAN configuration has been moved from the page, “IP Setup”, to the page,
“Tagged VLAN”.
The performance of TCP traffic has been improved compared to the previous version of
code. Large file transfers will now complete in the time that is appropriate for the networking
activity.
Operational Notes
When a 100FX SFP is inserted into the AT-GS950/48 Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch it will
not be auto-detected and thus will initially not be operational. In order to make the SFP
module active, you must manually configure each individual SFP port as follows where the
100FX SFP is used:
1. From the main menu on the left hand side of the web management page, select Physical
Interface and the Physical Interface page is displayed
2. In the Port List, select one of the SFP ports (45 - 48) that you want to configure. The port
is highlighted in the port list.
3. In the Mode list, select “100FX-Full” for the port speed and duplex mode:
4. Click Modify. The Admin mode setting shown in the table for that port is changed. How-
ever, the SFP module configuration will not be activated and will not pass ethernet traffic
until the port configuration change is committed to the display and it is permanently
saved. See steps 6 and 7 below.
5. If you want to start the port re-configuration over, click Reload to clear the setting and go
back to step 2.
6. Click the OK button to commit the port configuration change to the display. Although it
may appear that the change is immediately activated, the change must first be perma-
nently saved before this occurs - see in step 7 below.
7. To permanently save these settings in the configuration file and activate the change,
select Save Configuration from the main menu on the left hand side of the web manage-
ment page and then click the Save button.

AT-S87 Version 1.0.0 Software Release Notes
PN 613-000911 Rev B 3 Allied Telesis, Inc.
A 1000 MB SFP module can be auto detected when you insert it into the AT-GS950/48
Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch. However, you must configure the port mode to Auto for the
Gigabit SFP module to become operational per the procedure given above.
A 1000 MB SFP module can be manually configured for 1000 full duplex with no auto-
negotiation by setting the SFP port Mode to “1G-Full” per the procedure given above.
To activate a port configuration change, be sure to perform the following steps after selecting
and changing a configuration parameter for either a copper or SFP port on the Physical
Interface page:
1. Click the Modify button on the Physical Interface page.
2. Click the OK button on the Physical Interface page.
3. To activate these changes and permanently save these settings to the configuration file,
go to the Save Configuration page and click on the Save button. The port configuration
changes will only take affect after completing this step.
