Ethernet WebSmart switch. The AT-FS750/48 features 48 10/100TX, 2 SFP
and 2 10/100/1000T. With its high port density, the AT-FS750/48 is

The AT-FS750/48 offers
excellent security with its support for IEEE 802.1x user
authentication in conjunction with a RADIUS server, ensuring that only
authorized users are permitted to access the network. For additional
performance, Allied Telesis’ new switch supports port trunking,
enabling multiple ports to operate together to provide higher
bandwidth between the switch and another networking device. This
feature is especially useful for reducing the over-subscription ratio
on the Gigabit uplink. The new WebSmart switch also offers port
mirroring to facilitate the diagnosis of network problems. With its
support for port-based and tagged (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs, the AT-FS750/48
can segment the network into workgroups to supply better performance
as well as additional security. The new switch delivers excellent QoS
with four priority queues, ideal for deployment in networks with mixed
voice, video and data traffic.
With its support for the IGMP protocol, the AT-FS750/48 enables
companies to more efficiently manage resources for high-bandwidth
video applications and manage membership of IP multicast groups. Other
standards supported by Allied Telesis’ new switch include STP and RSTP
(Spanning Tree Protocol and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol). These
protect the network against link failures by providing it with
redundant links.
The AT-FS750/48 is a plug-and-play device that includes web-based
management and security functionality at an attractive price. Every
year, Allied Telesis ships over 250,000 unmanaged switches that are
recognized around the globe for their quality, reliability and value
for money.
Allied Telesis’ AT-FS750/48 is available now from Allied Telesis
offices and distributors. Its list price is $599 / €499. |
