Allied Telesis AT FS970M/16F8-LC - Switch - Managed - 8 x 10/100 + 16 x 100Base-FX + 2 x combo Gigabit SFP - front to back airflow - desktop, rack-mountable Allied Telesis | AT-FS970M/16F8-LC-30

The Allied Telesis AT-FS970M/16F8-LC features 16 x 100FX multimode fiber ports and LC connections, plus an additional 8 x 10/100TX ports. In addition, it offers two Gigabit combo (10/100/1000T-100/1000 SFP) uplink ports. Allied Telesis FS970M series fiber switches are designed for high security and long distance connectivity for the edge of network in government, high EMI environments, warehouses, business campuses, educational campuses, and large retail stores.The FS970M series is designed to reduce power consumption and to minimize hazardous waste. Fans are designed to minimize noise pollution. High efficiency power supplies, low power chipsets, and effective power management deliver both a reduced carbon footprint and cost savings for the end user.

• Simple management
  Managing a network with a smaller IT infrastructure can be a challenge. The FS970M series features full management capabilities, with simplified deployment and minimum configuration time. The FS970M series also provides special features that facilitate simple and effective network management such as LLDP-MED, Voice VLAN, and Web management. With LLDP-MED, the user can auto-configure end stations, sending preconditioned traffic that adheres to Voice VLAN. Voice VLAN segregates VoIP traffic from regular Ethernet traffic and applies a higher Quality of Service (QoS). This takes the complexity out of VoIP deployments, ensuring high voice quality and protecting time-sensitive voice traffic from being flooded by other data. An industry-standard CLI, combined with a simple and intuitive Web management interface, reduces the training needs for IT support teams, enabling customers with less technical backgrounds to easily troubleshoot or make adjustments to the network.
• Enhanced stacking
  The Allied Telesis FS970M series of managed switches makes network configuration and management simple. Enhanced Stacking allows management, configuration, and software upgrades for up to 24 switches with a single command in a single management session. The switches can also share the same IP address, reducing the number of addresses assigned to network devices for remote management. Remotely managing a switch in your LAN is as simple as plugging it in. Once connected to the LAN, the device can be managed remotely from any workstation.
• Quality of service
  The FS970M series also supports priority QoS, which prioritizes data with a simple command - providing better service to selected network traffic while minimizing the complexity of QoS deployment in the network. Allied Telesis QoS gives the user more control over the traffic of data, and allocates network resources more efficiently. QoS is also fundamental for IP Triple Play (voice, video, and data) applications.
• Environmentally friendly
  The FS970M series is designed to reduce power consumption and to minimize hazardous waste. Fans are designed to minimize noise pollution. High efficiency power supplies, low power chipsets, and effective power management deliver both a reduced carbon footprint and cost savings for the end user.
• Effective traffic monitoring
  In order to fully understand the performance of the network - and ensure the ongoing smooth delivery of critical data - users must be able to measure and analyze the traffic in real time. The FS970M series facilitates effective traffic monitoring with sFlow, an industry-standard technology for monitoring high-speed switched networks. sFlow provides complete visibility into the use of the network, enabling performance optimization, accounting, billing for usage, and even defense against security threats.
• Investment protection
  With the depletion of IPv4 address space, IPv6 is rapidly becoming a mandatory requirement for many healthcare, education, government, and enterprise customers. To meet this need, now and into the future, the FS970M series supports IPv6 applications.
• Network protection
  To ensure protection of data and the network, the FS970M series provides a solid set of security features and secure management options. FS970M series switches use IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication and dynamic VLAN assignment to assure compliance to network security policies and either grant access or offer remediation. Tri-authentication ensures the network is only accessed by known users and devices. Secure access is also available for guests. Security from malicious network attacks is provided by a comprehensive range of features such as DHCP snooping, STP root guard, BPDU protection, and Access Control Lists. Each of these can be configured to perform a variety of actions upon detection of a suspected attack. Network Access Control (NAC) gives unprecedented control over user access to the network in order to mitigate threats to network infrastructure.
• Smooth Network
  Advanced storm protection features include bandwidth limiting, policy-based storm protection, and packet storm protection. Network storms are often caused by cabling errors that result in a network loop. The Allied Telesis FS970M series provides features to detect loops as soon as they are created. Loop detection and broadcast storm control take immediate action to prevent network storms.
