Introduction
The AT-8116 is a high-performance 10/100Mbps switch representing
the next generation in switching technology. The AT-8116 employs
highly-integrated ASIC technology and a Gigabit/sec backplane to
significantly boost network performance. Its high density and
performance combine with exceptional functionality, such as RMON
support, VLAN capabilities and Full Duplex switching, to achieve
optimal network switching without expensive changes to the desktop
PC or cabling system. The AT-8116 exemplifies the design flexibility
which enables deployment as both a departmental and enterprise
switch, while enhancing network connectivity.
Description
The AT-8116 high-density switch features 16 dual-speed 10/100 UTP
ports with auto-sensing. Highly-integrated ASIC technology enables a
maximum throughput of over 2,000,000pps and 1.6 Gbps.
The switch boasts extensive management capabilities, such as the
ability to access the learning table and per/port counter statistics, and
to set configurations. Built-in RMON support for Groups 1, 2, 3, and 9
allows in-depth analysis of traffic flow, while implementation of the
Spanning Tree Algorithm prevents broadcast loops and provides fail-
safe network redundancy.
