CHAPTER 1 Introduction

1.1 Product Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Lantronix 10/100Mbps 10-

port or 18-port switch. The LSW2F8 and LSW2F16 10/100 Ethernet

Switches are designed to give you the ultimate in performance, flexibil-

ity, ease-of-use, and reliability.

The LSW 10/100 switches can increase performance on your network

by bringing full Ethernet bandwidth to individual workgroups or

straight to the desktop instead of requiring all stations to share the

bandwidth of a single network. The LSW switchÕs 100Mbps Fast

Ethernet capability can eliminate bottlenecks in connection to servers,

or can link 10Mbps workgroups to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network

backbone.

For straight-through 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections to servers

and workstations, the LSW switches support full-duplex connections,

effectively doubling the total throughput on individual links. The LSW

switchÕs store-and-forward switching architecture forwards packets to

their destination with a minimum of delay and eliminates bad packets

from the network.

The LSW2F8/LSW2F16 switch can be placed on a tabletop or rack-

mounted, and provides the ideal solution for your small, medium, or

large Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network. These devices are designed to

comply fully with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and 802.3u Fast Ethernet

standards.

Chapter 2 Using the LSW Switch

2.1 Packing Checklist

Your switch product package should contain the following:

✓An LSW2F8 or LSW2F16 10/100 Ethernet Switch

✓One AC Power Cable

✓Four self-adhesive standoffs

✓Rackmount brackets and screws

✓Installation Guide

If any of these items are missing, contact your dealer immediately.

2.2 Planning Your Network

Before you install your 10/100Mbps network, you should plan out

how you wish to organize your network to take maximum advantage

of its switching capabilities. This section discusses typical applications

for the switch.

LSW2F8_16 Guide 3/18/99 12:17 PM Page 5 (1,1)

2.2.1 Fileserver Link

The LSW switch can be used to greatly increase the bandwidth between

one or more fileservers and the workgroups they serve. Individual

10Mbps workgroup switches can be connected to the ports on the LSW

switch, ensuring that traffic in one workgroup will not interfere with

the performance of another workgroup. Full-duplex 100Mbps links to

fileservers guarantee that full bandwidth is delivered to each work-

group. High-performance workstations needing extra throughput can

connect directly to the switch using a full-duplex 10BASE-T connection,

giving 20Mbps of effective throughput.

2.2.2 Backbone Link

Traditionally, bridges and routers have been used to link individual

local area networks into an interconnected network. Routers and tradi-

tional bridges introduce relatively large delays when forwarding traffic

from one network to another, in addition to being difficult to manage.

Bridge architecture based on two-port bridges may require traffic to

pass through several bridges before reaching its destination. Ethernet

switches now perform these functions with especially small delays,

making them ideal for backbone link applications. Compared to

routers, LantronixÕs LSW Ethernet switches are easy to set up and

maintain. Several networks can be connected together with a single

Ethernet switch, and the forwarding delay is negligible. One or more of

the LSW switchÕs 100Mbps links can be used as a high-speed backbone

link to other switches serving as collapsed backbones.

2.2.3 10/100Mbps Bridging

The LSW 10/100 Ethernet Switch can allow you to gradually transition

between traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and newer 100Mbps Fast

Ethernet. The addition of the LSW switch can give immediate increases

in performance on the 10Mbps networks, and allows connectivity to be

maintained when network stations are transitioned over to 100Mbps

Fast Ethernet.

2.3 Installation

The LSW 10/100 Ethernet Switch is easy to install and requires no

special training. You should, however, read the following instructions

carefully before proceeding to install your switch. Figure 2-4 and Figure

2-5 show the layout of the front panels.

The LSW 10/100 switches were designed for easy Òplug and playÓ

installation. Before you connect your switch to other devices, there are

several issues you should keep in mind:

▼When connecting the LSW switch to a device using unshielded

twisted pair cable, you must make sure that the cable length is not

greater than 100 meters

▼10BASE-T Twisted Pair Ethernet cabling should be Category 3 or better

▼100BASE-TX Twisted Pair Fast Ethernet cabling should use tested

Category 5 cabling

▼Network cable segments can be connected to or disconnected from

the LSW 10/100 switch while the power is on

▼When placing your LSW switch, you need to avoid dusty locations

and electromagnetically noisy areas
