The GS970M family combines enterprise-grade manageability with a compact footprint, making it easy to scale as your network grows. With PoE+ variants, you can power wireless access points, IP cameras, and other powered devices directly over the network, simplifying installation, reducing cabling, and increasing flexibility in device placement. Whether you’re building a new network or upgrading an existing one, the GS970M Series offers robust features, intuitive management, and the reliability that businesses rely on every day.

  • Seamless Gigabit performance to the desktop: Deliver full line-rate speed across your campus or office network to support bandwidth-heavy tasks, ensuring smooth video calls, fast file transfers, and responsive cloud-based applications.
  • PoE+ capable models: Power wireless access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other PoE devices directly from the switch, reducing the need for separate power infrastructure and enabling centralized device management.
  • Comprehensive management and visibility: Access an intuitive web-based GUI complemented by CLI and SNMP support, with features such as VLAN segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS), traffic shaping, and monitoring to keep networks secure and efficient.
  • Enterprise-grade reliability in a flexible form factor: Rack-mountable or desktop deployment options with robust security and policy controls, designed to integrate with existing networks and to scale as your needs evolve.
  • Advanced switching features for smarter networks: Support for link aggregation, VLAN tagging, and access control lists to optimize performance while enforcing security and network policies across departments and users.

How to install Allied Telesis CentreCOM GS970M Series Switch

  • Plan and prepare: Identify the appropriate GS970M model for your network needs, determine port requirements, PoE needs (if any), and whether rack-mount or desktop deployment is preferred.
  • Unpack and inspect: Verify the switch is intact, all components are present, and there is no visible damage in transit. Keep documentation and accessories within reach for quick setup.
  • Mounting and placement: Place the switch in a well-ventilated area. If rack-mounting, secure it to the rack using standard mounting ears; for desktop, ensure it sits on a stable surface with adequate airflow.
  • Connect power and uplink: Connect the power cord and, if applicable, attach uplink connections to your core switches or router. For PoE models, connect powered devices to appropriate PoE-enabled ports.
  • Initial configuration: Access the management interface via the default IP address provided by Allied Telesis documentation. Create an administrator password, configure basic management settings, and set up essential features such as VLANs and QoS as needed.
  • Security hardening and policy setup: Implement port security measures, define access control lists (ACLs) or other policy controls to restrict unauthorized devices, and configure any required authentication for network access.
  • Performance tuning: Enable essential features like QoS for prioritizing business-critical traffic, configure VLANs for segmentation, and establish link aggregation if you require higher throughput or redundancy between switches or to the core.
  • Monitoring and maintenance: Set up SNMP traps or monitoring tools, schedule periodic backups of configurations, and implement a change management procedure to track updates and firmware upgrades.
