OS-LS-6248 Overview

To stay competitive, 21 st century businesses must take advantage of new networking technologies that deliver quick and secure access to vital information from any location. Customers expect and demand that customizable user-centric services be securely provided over an always available environment, and they want to be able to access it from anywhere such as over the Internet.
Most enterprise networks have Ethernet-based infrastructures where workgroup switches supply the bulk of switch ports needed, making them an ideal target for performance improvements at attractive prices. With the latest workgroup switch technologies from Alcatel, it’s possible to provide power-over-Ethernet across your campus for true plug-and-play connectivity for wireless LAN access points, IP phones, and other network devices.
Alcatel’s switches also take advantage of and exploit network intelligence improving user security while reducing operating expenses, capital expenditures, training and day-to-day management costs.
Alcatel has designed the OmniStack LS 6200 (OS LS 6200) family of stackable Ethernet switches to address enterprise and residential networking needs. They are fixed configuration, 10/100 copper or 100BaseX fiber layer-2 switches that deliver the advanced features and services demanded by users. These 12, 24 or 48 port Fast Ethernet switches provide the same advanced capabilities previously available only in Gigabit-class switches, making them an excellent, inexpensive edge device.
The OS LS 6200s provide wire rate layer-2 forwarding and advanced layer 2-4 services. They also securely support advanced quality of service with advanced user and traffic classification capabilities for exceptional video, voice, and data performance.
Every OS LS 6200 switch comes with two 10/100/1000 copper ports that can be used with standard Ethernet cabling for fault-tolerant dedicated stacking links or as Gigabit ports in a standalone configuration. They also come with two additional Gigabit combo ports that provide ports for upstream connectivity to the network or to high-speed servers. Combo ports provide the user the ability to attach via standard copper Ethernet cabling or fiber using industry standard optical transceivers.
