Overview
Welcome to Allied Telesyn International!
Allied Telesyn’s
AT-4016TR Ethernet Switch With ATM Access
,
AT-4016F
Ethernet Switch With ATM Access
and
AT-TS95TR TurboStack Switch With
ATM Access and Management
are all Ethernet-to-Ethernet and Ethernet-
to-ATM switches. All support 10 Mbps of
dedicated
bandwidth on 16
(AT-4016TR and AT-4016F) or 8 (AT-TS95TR) IEEE 802.3 Ethernet ports.
Further, all support a 155 Mbps Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) port for
connectivity to an ATM switch.
The release of system software Version 2.4 (or greater) supports bridging
between Ethernet and ATM using Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs). Besides
bridging, your switch provides an Emulated LAN (ELAN) capability which,
using (or not using) an optional
LAN Emulation Configuration Server
(LECS)
, allows you to group all Ethernet devices in your switch — as well as
additional switches — as if you are in the same physical LAN.
As stated in the Preface, all switches are almost identical in form and
function. The differences are primarily physical. The following table
summarizes these differences.
