How to Install Allied Telesis GS980M 48-Port Switch

  • Plan your deployment: Confirm the switch’s place in the rack, ensure proper ventilation, and verify power requirements. Prepare patch cables and SFP modules (if not included) and have a basic IP plan for management access.
  • Rack-mount the unit: Use the included rack ears to secure the GS980M into a standard 19-inch rack. Tighten screws evenly to prevent chassis movement. Ensure there is adequate clearance in front and behind the device for cable management and cooling.
  • Connect power and ventilation: Attach a suitable power cord, verify the power source matches the device requirements, and confirm that the area has adequate airflow to prevent overheating during operation.
  • Cable the network: Connect devices to the 48 RJ-45 ports as needed. Plan VLANs and IP addressing as you populate the switch with endpoints. Route uplinks from the four SFP slots to your core or distribution switches, ensuring appropriate fiber or copper media is used for the chosen SFP modules.
  • Access the management interface: Power on the switch and access the management interface via the console port or the management IP address you assign. Establish an initial administrative account, secure the device with strong credentials, and configure basic settings such as IP addressing, default gateway, and management VLAN.
  • Configure features and policy: Enable VLANs, assign ports to their respective VLANs, configure QoS for critical traffic, and set up link aggregation (LACP) as required. If you’re integrating with an AMF Master, follow the AMF guidelines to register the switch and apply centralized policies.
  • Test and validate: Verify end-to-end connectivity from desktops and devices to the core network. Check uplinks for stability, test VLAN segmentation, and ensure security features (such as port security and storm control) are enforcing correctly. Save the configuration to non-volatile memory to prevent loss after a reboot.

Stranded on third base
Format: Hardcover
Prof. Kruse wanders away from the promise of the subtitle of his book--"How corporate America Invented Christian America." He almost gets there when he describes the ideological opposition of the wealthy to F.D.R's "New Deal." and their caricature of the "social gospel" as Communist propaganda. His description of Truman's encounter with Billy Graham is wonderful. For a book published in 2015, Kruse makes only slight mention of the fact that the politics of money and religion in contemporary times becomes more pernicious every day. The main body of the book drifts into redundant detail about "who prayed with who" and the spiritual influence of prominent evangelists on presidents from Eisenhower to Bush with only faint reference to their ties with the Capitalist agenda. He portrays wealthy Christians as true religious zealots when, in fact, they and many of the politicians they supported were likely hypocrites using religion as a wedge issue to increase their power and pursue their agenda of unregulated Capitalism. It is remarkable that Kruse entirely fails to mention the Koch brothers--billionaires who bankroll countless ultra right-wing politicians with evangelical agendas, while they, themselves, are apparently Ayn-Rand-style libertarian atheists interested only in a social-Darwinian, Capitalist heaven. Prof. Kruse leaves us stranded on third base, when he could have hit a home run!

Horrific Voter Suppression
Format: Paperback
This is a very well documented book about voter suppression in America. It was interesting to see that before the Jim Crow era, black people voted, were elected to office, got educations and did fairly well. With Jim Crow, horrific voter suppression began (lynchings, etc.). In the early days it was the Southern Democrats and the KKK. As time went on the methods simply became more devious. In the 1930s FDR began attempting to attract black voters to the party. By the end of WWII we had "Dixiecrats". By the time the time the Civil Rights Act was passed, the transition was complete and those Southern Democrats were now members of the GOP. (Much of that bit of history is not in the book, but you'll want to look it up.) The GOP is now the master of voter suppression, and you can see it pretty much everywhere but especially in Georgia, Texas, Minnesota and many southern states. The book is chock full or examples, case histories and stories of resistance. It made me want to sell my house and give the money to the ACLU, NAACP, and SPLC to defend our most precious right (not privilege) to vote.

This is a MUST read!!
Format: Kindle
This book is a must read! I was just not aware of the extent of the planned, organized, deliberate and insidious actions that the Republican Party has taken to suppress votes from the disenfranchised and the impact that has on our Democracy. I am stricken by the horror of what has been happening now for YEARS and is still going on today!! Carol Anderson has compiled hard data to demonstrate the pervasiveness of the many voter suppression steps that have been taken across many states, primarily in the deep south, but not exclusive to the south. It’s very difficult to take reams of data and put it into a coherent, logical sequence that can be easily understood but she is masterful at making her book eminently readable. This is a very data driven book but I had no trouble getting through it. The conclusion did have some hopeful information relaying steps that some states are taking to increase voter participation which did give me some hope. I am so glad that I read this and I think we all should be informed on this issue as it is central to our state as a country.

Great book but disappointing kindle experience
Format: Kindle
A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the troubled and racist history of voting rights in the US. My only complaint is that the Kindle version of this book messes up the footnotes. The great thing about reading on the Kindle is that you don't have to flip back and forth to check the footnote cites; you only have to click on them. Sadly, the footnotes aren't correct in the Kindle version of the book. They somehow were shifted by one, as I was able to confirm in my hardcover copy, completely ruining the experience if you wish to read more about a specific incident. This is inexcusable in my mind, but I won't hurt the rating for this book by taking off a star.
