AX1200S Series

AX1240S Models

Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch Featuring Robust Security
The AX1200S series provides high connectivity, usability and interoperability that are all consistent through the AXfamily. As a compact switch featuring a 1U height and a shallow depth, the AX1200S has two 10/100/1000BASE-T ports
and two 1000BASE-X (SFP) ports for uplinks, allowing for flexible network configuration based on each user’s network
environment combined with the upper AX series.
The AX1240S is a second generation edge switch with advanced hardware and software that can respond to higherdemands.

Authentication and Security Functions

Compact Size and Reduced Environment Load

■ Triple authentication- Capable of mixing three types of authentication methods (IEEE802.1X/Web/MAC) for flexible, robust security based on eachuser environment and security policy.

■Compact 1U size for all models■ Fulfilling security function- Ensures security between local users by logically dividing a LAN,
together with MAC VLANs, port VLANs, or/and protocol VLANs,
and by performing granular access control with L2/L3/L4 levelfiltering.

High Reliability and High Availability■ Various reliability improvement functions- Capable of configuring highly reliable networks with highspeed failure detection and redundant lines/routes/devices
using link aggregation, RSTP, ALAXALA proprietary hot standby
switch function GSRP Aware (Gigabit Switch Redundancy
Protocol), UDLD, and L2 loop detection function.
- Redundant uplink function allows for a redundant configuration
without using a spanning tree.
- Supports the ring protocol with which flexible, scalable, simple,and high-speed networks can be configured.
■ QoS- Provides granular QoS, such as priority control for important
packets and voice packets vulnerable to delays, and bandwidth
control that allocates a fixed bandwidth to ports.
■ Support for combo ports for gigabit uplinks- Capable of using two ports simultaneously by combining
10/100/1000BASE-T or 1000BASE-X (SFP) ports, responding
to various network environments.

IPv6 Support■Support for the IPv6 multicast cooperation function- Capable of MLD snooping that controls the transmission of IPv6multicast packets.

■Fanless switch- The AX1240S-24T2C model features a completely fanless design.
- Can be installed in places where silence is required, such as anoffice or a conference room.
- The fanless architecture, which is free from dust accumulation andphysically activated parts, reduces potential failures.
■Power saving- Lower power consumption of the entire device and various powersaving functions reduce power consumption by about 20%,compared to the AX1230S.
- Supports the dynamic power saving function, reducing thedevice’s power consumption according to a preset schedule.
- Meets the energy consumption efficiency requirements defined inthe Energy Saving Act.

Operation Management and Maintenance Function■ CLI Compatible with Advanced Models- Supports CLI of the AX2400S series for integration of operation
management and maintenance operability.
■ Command-free maintenance function- Capable of log storage and firmware updates with an SD card,
improving on-site maintainability.

PoE/PoE Plus (Power Over Ethernet)■Elimination of power lines with PoE (AX12４0S-24P2CA)- Capable of housing PoE devices (such as IP phones and WAPs)
to eliminate the need for power lines. This reduces the frustration
due to increased cables, the cost of power line wiring, and theconstruction period.
- Supports the power feeding of Class 3 [15.4 W] for all ports in theAX1240S. Also supports PoE Plus (IEEE 802.3at) capable of thepower feeding of Class 4 [30.0 W].
