Figure 5 GBIC Slots

The AT-8350GB Fast Ethernet switch has two GBIC slots on the front

panel, which correspond to ports 49 and 50. Each slot can accommodate

one optional GBIC module.

A GBIC module is a gigabit (1000Base) transceiver. GBIC modules can be

used to extend the distance of your network, build a high-speed

backbone network, or connect additional nodes to the network, such as

high-speed servers. Figure 6 shows an example of a fiber optic GBIC

module.

Note

Ports 49 and 50 can each support only one medium type (i.e.,

twisted pair or GBIC) at a time. For example, if you install a GBIC for

Port 49, you cannot use the corresponding twisted pair port.

In order to use Ports 49 or 50 with a GBIC module, you must change

the port setting in the management software to GBIC instead of

twisted pair. For instructions, refer to the AT-S41 Management

Software User’s Guide for the AT-8350GB Switch.

Contact your Allied Telesyn sales representative for a list of GBIC

modules for the AT-8350GB switch.
