Overview
The AT-FS713FC/xx and AT-FS717FC/xx Series Fast Ethernet Switches
include the following models:
These units are unmanaged Layer 2 switches. These switches can be used as a
‘bridge’ between the different workgroups in your network or they can be used
to create small workgroups with dedicated 10/100 Mbps links to your network
devices. They can also be used to connect to other Ethernet switches so that
they can be part of a larger Ethernet network.
The AT-FS713FC/xx Series Switches feature twelve 10/100Base-TX twisted
pair ports and a 100Base-FX fiber optic port. The twisted pair ports have a
RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
The fiber optic port has a FJ, LC, MT, SC, ST, or VF connector, depending on
the model, and a maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles).
The AT-FS717FC/xx Series Switches feature sixteen 10/100Base-TX twisted
pair ports and a 100Base-FX fiber optic port. The twisted pair ports have a
RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
The fiber optic port has a FJ, LC, MT, SC, ST, or VF connector, depending on
the model, and a maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles).
The fiber optic port operates at 100 Mbps and features half- and full-duplex
operation. The twisted pair port operates at 10 or 100 Mbps and auto-
negotiates the duplex mode.
The AT-FS713FC/xx and AT-FS717FC/xx Series Switches are easy to install
and do not require software configuration or management.
