Compatible Switches
Caution Attempting to install a module into a switch which is not compatible may
damage the switch and the module. Compatible expansion modules are listed in
your switch’s Hardware Reference. If you are unsure of a module's compatibility,
contact an authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.
The AT-A65 is compatible with the following Allied Telesis switches:
■ AT-8624T/2M
■ AT-8624PoE
To be compatible with the AT-A65, the switch must run software version 2.9.1-17 or
higher of the AlliedWare
TM
operating system.
Compatible Data Cables and SFPs
The AT-A65 expansion module can act as either a:
■ 1000Base-X SFP expansion bay or
■ 10/100/1000Base-T copper port with RJ-45 connection
The module can automatically switch between the copper and fiber interface. When
an SFP is installed in the AT-A65, the SFP port is considered the active port and the
copper port becomes disabled. When there is no SFP installed then the copper port
becomes the active port.
SFP expansion bay qualities
The following SFP types are supported:
■ 1000Base-SX fiber
■ 1000Base-LX fiber
■ 1000Base-ZX fiber
10/100/1000Base-T copper and 100Base-FX SFPs are not supported.
