Allied Telesis CentreCOM FS980M/9 Ethernet Switch

Allied Telesis CentreCOM FS980M switches feature centralized network management via Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework™ (AMF), and a redundant system with Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack™). These high-performing switches deliver flexible uplink connectivity and lower management costs.

Overview

FS980M switches provide high-performance Fast Ethernet connectivity right where you need it-at the network edge. Flexible and robust, the FS980M series provide total security and management features for enterprises of all sizes. They also support video surveillance and Point of Sale (POS) applications.

Reduce network running costs by automating and simplifying many dayto-day tasks-an FS980M is the ideal AMF edge switch when an AMF Master switch is available in the network.

With both copper and Power over Ethernet (PoE) models, the FS980M Series has the ideal solution for your network. All models are available with 8, 16, 24 and 48 × 10/100TX Fast Ethernet ports. PoE models support the IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standard, delivering up to 30 Watts of power per port for video surveillance and security applications. The dual power supply model provides system and PoE redundancy to maximize network and end-point uptime.

Key Features, Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework™(AMF)

• AMF is a sophisticated suite of management tools that provides a simplified approach to network management. Common tasks are automated, or made so simple, that your network can run without the need for highly-trained and expensive network engineers. Powerful features like centralized management, auto-backup, autoupgrade, auto-provisioning and auto-recovery enable Plug-and-Play networking and zero-touch management.
• AMF secure mode increases network security with management traffic encryption, authorization, and monitoring.
• The FS980M can function as an AMF edge switch when an AMF Master switch is available in the network.

• Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRing) allows several FS980M switches to join a protected ring, capable of recovery within as little as 50ms. This feature is perfect for high availability in enterprise networks.

• The FS980M Series provides static IPv4 routing at the edge of the network, as well as support for RIPv1 and RIPv2.

• FS980M/28, FS980M/28PS, FS980M/52, FS980M/52PS , FS980M/28DP models.
• Create a VCStack of up to four units with 2 Gbps of stacking bandwidth per each unit. VCStack provides a highly-available system in which network resources are spread out across stacked units, minimizing the impact should any unit fail.
