x320 SeriesGigabit Layer 3 PoE++/PoE Pass-through SwitchesThe Allied Telesis x320 Series of Gigabit Layer 3 PoE++/PoE pass-through switches offer an impressive set of features in a compact design. Flexible Power over Ethernet capabilities make them ideal for IoT device connectivity in smart buildings and business environments.OverviewAllied Telesis x320 Series are secure and reliable, offering 8 x Gigabit PoE enabled ports and 2 x SFP uplinks. Advanced power connectivity features provide flexibility and value to meet the needs of today’s connected business. The x320-10GH can provide up to 90 Watts of PoE power on all ports, while the x320-11GPT can be powered by PoE(1) and also pass PoE power through to connected end points. Each switch offers 8 x 10M/100M/1Gigabit ports and flexible Gigabit uplinks.Flexible PoEThe x320 Series support today’s commonly used PoE standards, providing 15.4 Watts of PoE (802.3af), and 30 Watts of PoE+ (802.3at). In addition, the x320-10GH also supports providing 60 or 90 Watts of PoE++ (802.3bt)(2).Continuous PoEContinuous PoE allows the x320 Series switches to be restarted without affecting the supply of power to connected devices. Smart lighting, security cameras, and other PoE devices will continue to operate during a software upgrade on the switch.Network ManagementVista Manager™ EX bundled with Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework™ (AMF) meets the increasing management requirements of modern networks. While AMF allows an entire network to be securely and easily managed as a single virtual device, Vista Manager EX provides an intuitive and powerful graphical tool for monitoring and managing AMF wired, Autonomous Wave Control (AWC) wireless, and third party (SNMP) devices.CybersecurityThe x320 series acting as an AMF member is compatible with our AMF-Security solution, which enables a self-defending network. The AMF–Sec controller responds immediately to any internal malware threats by instructing the x320 to isolate the affected part of the network, and quarantine the suspect device. Vista Manager EX alerts networks administrators of threats that have been dealt with.Network resiliencyAllied Telesis Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRing™), and the standards-based G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection, ensure that distributed network segments have high-speed, resilient access to online resources and applications.SecureA secure network environment is guaranteed. The x320 Series offers powerful control over network traffic types, secure management options, loop guard to protect against cabling mistakes, and tri-authentication for comprehensive access control.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 or a malfunction.Environmentally friendlyThe x320 Series supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), automatically reducing the power consumed by the switch whenever there is no traffic on a port. This sophisticated feature can significantly reduce operating costs by reducing the power requirements of the switch and any associated cooling equipment.
