Note
SFP+ slots 27 and 28 on the 28-port switches and slots 51 and 52
on the 52-port switches 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 you can use the
slots with standard SFP or SFP+ transceivers. The configuration
instructions are provided later in this guide, in “Configuring the
Switch for Stand-alone Operations” on page 89.
Stacking Slots Two of the SFP+ slots can be used to create a VCStack of up to four
switches. The slots support these stacking transceivers when the switch is
in the stacking mode:
AT-StackXS/1.0 Twisted Pair Transceiver - 1 meter
AT-StackOP/0.3 Fiber Optic Transceiver - 300 meters
AT-StackOP/9.0 Fiber Optic Transceiver - 9 kilometers
LEDs Here are the port LEDs:
Link/activity and duplex mode LEDs for the twisted pair ports on
non-PoE switches
Link/activity and PoE status LEDs for the twisted pair ports on PoE
switches
Link/activity LEDs for SFP and SFP+ slots
Stack ID number LED
eco-friendly button turns off the LEDs to conserve electricity
Installation
Options
Here are the installation options for the switches:
19-inch equipment rack
Desk or tabletop
MAC Address
Table

Storage capacity of 256 static MAC address entries
Automatic learning and aging
Management
Software and
Interfaces
Here are the management software and interfaces:
AlliedWare Plus Management Software
Command line interface
Web browser interface

Management
Methods
Here are the methods for managing the switches:
Local management through the Console port
Remote Telnet and Secure Shell management
Remote HTTP and HTTPS web browser management
SNMPv1, v2c, and v3
Power Supplies The AT-x510-28GTX, AT-x510-28GPX, AT-x510-28GSX,
AT-x510-52GTX, and AT-x510-52GPX Switches have two pre-installed
AC power supplies. The AT-x510L-28GP, AT-x510L-28GT,
AT-x510L-52GP, and AT-x510L-52GT Switches have one pre-installed AC
power supply. The AT-x510-28GSX-80 Switch has two pre-installed DC
power supplies. The DC power supply option is only available in the
AT-x510-28GSX-80 Switch. The power supplies are not field-replaceable.
