1. Introduction

In the modern business society, communication and sharing information is

essential. Computer networks have proven to be one of the fastest methods of

communication…

Gigabit Ethernet over copper technology is a cost effective way for network

equipments to be upgraded from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit speeds. By using

standard 4-pair Category 5 copper cabling, it doesn’t need to pull expensive

 ber optics cabling. This Technology will create high-speed backbone connections

between switches, servers, database and end stations.

Lantech GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch is an ideal solution for solving traf c block

at the core of the network. It offers 8x auto-negotiation 10/100/1000Base-T

Gigabit Ethernet ports which can signi cantly improve your network’s backbone

performance. Besides, its This Switch will  t into any enterprise level network to

act as an exit to the backbone switch.

Figure 1-1. The GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch

This Switch will automatically detect the speed of the device that you plug into it to

allow you to use 10, 100 or 1000Mbps device.

Lantech GE-800 features Auto MDI/MDIX function for each port. [ In general,

MDI means connecting to another Hub or Switch while MDIX means connecting

to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can connect

to another Switch or workstation without changing non-crossover or crossover

cabling. ] Besides, it also features a store-and-forward switching and can

auto-learn and store source address on an 4K MAC address table.

•Ethernet Switching Technology

Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a

network, eliminated congestion problems inherent with Carrier Sense multiple

access with Collision Detection ( CSMA/CD ) protocol, and greatly reduced

unnecessary transmissions.

This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous

transmissions over the same port ( Full-duplex ), which essentially doubled

the bandwidth. Second, by reducing the collision domain to a single

switch-port, which eliminated the need for carrier sensing. Third, by using the

store-and-forward technology’s approach of inspecting each packet to intercept

corrupt or redundant data, switching eliminated unnecessary transmission that

slow the network. By employing address-learning, which replaced the inef cient

receiving port.

Auto-negotiation regulates the speed and duplex of each port, based on the

capability of both devices. Flow-control allows transmission from a 100Mbps

node to a 10Mbps node without loss of data. Auto-negotiation and  ow-control

may require disablement for some networking operations involves legacy

equipment. Disabling the auto-negotiation is accomplished by  xing the speed or

duplex of a port.

Ethernet Switching Technology supplied higher performance at costs lower than

other solutions. Wider bandwidth, no congestion, and the reduction in traf c

is why switching is replacing expensive routers and inef cient hubs as the

ultimate networking solution. Switching brought a whole new way of thinking to

networking.

2. Hardware Description

This Section mainly describes the hardware of Lantech GE-800 Gigabit Copper

Switch. This Switch is an auto-negotiation 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet RJ-45

connectors.

The physical dimensions of the GE-800 as follow

165 x 100 x 32.5 mm (L x W x H)

•Front Panel

The Front Panel of the GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch consists of 8x

auto-negotiation 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 connectors ( support

Automatic MDI/MDIX function ), and four LED-indicators (100/1000,

LNK/ACT, FDX/COL ) for each Gigabit port.

•LED Indicators

The LED Indicators gives a real-time indication of system operating

statuses. There are four LED-indicators (100/1000, LNK/ACT,

FD/COL) for each Gigabit port and one Power LED for Unit.

The following table provides descriptions of LEDs status and their meaning.

3.Installation

This section shows the installation procedures of the switch.

Desktop Installation

Set the Switch on a suf ciently large  at space with a power outlet nearby. The

surface where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy.

Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of

cables, power cord and air circulation.

•Attaching Rubber Feet

A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and

dust free.

B. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.

•Power On

Figure 3-1. Attaching Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch

C. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These

footpads can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.

Connect the cord of power adapter to the power socket on the rear panel of the

Switch. The other side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The power

adapter supply in the GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch works with DC in 12V/1.3A

Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.

4.Network Application

This section provides you one sample of network topology in which the GE-800

Gigabit Copper Switch is used. In general, the GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch is

designed to be used as a high-bandwidth backbone switch.

You can use the GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch to connect servers, switches,

workstation, and PCs ( basically, the Gigabit 1000Base-T NIC has installed into

the PC ) to each other by connecting these devices directly to the Switch. The

Switch automatically learns node address, which are subsequently used to  lter

and forward all traf c based on the destination address.

Backbone Switch

For enterprise networks where large data broadcast are constantly processed, this

switch is an ideal suitable for departmental switches to connect to the Core Switch.

All ports can connect to departmental switches, and the departmental switches

can be connected to the GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch. Then all the devices in

this network can communicate with each other. Connecting servers to the Core

Switch allow each end station to access the server’s data.

Switch act as a Core Switch

This switch is an ideal solution for backbone connectivity. In the above example,

servers, department switches, and workstation are directly connected to the Core

Switch, GE-800 Gigabit Copper Switch.
