Introduction
Ethernet Switching Technology
Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically increases the total bandwidth of a network, eliminates
congestion problems inherent with ( CSMA/CD ) protocol, which greatly reduces unnecessary
transmissions.
Switch Technology has 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 prevent
transmitting corrupt or redundant data, switching eliminates unnecessary transmission. By employing
address-learning, the switch only transfers data to the port it is destined for.
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 flow-control may require disablement for some networking operations involves legacy
equipment. Disabling the auto-negotiation is accomplished by configuring the speed or duplex of a port.
Ethernet Switching Technology supplies higher performance at costs lower than legacy solutions. Wider
bandwidth, no congestion, and the reduction in traffic are the many reasons why switching is replacing
expensive routers and inefficient hubs for the ultimate networking solution. Switching brings a whole
new way of thinking to networking.
The MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches are multi-port Switches that can be used to build high-
performance switched workgroup networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices that offer low
latency for high-speed networking. They are targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing
environment at SME ( small, medium enterprise ) businesses.
Figure 1-1. The MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switch ( Auto MDI/MDIX )
The MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches feature a “store-and-forward “ switching scheme. This allows
the switch to auto-learn and store source address on an 4K-entry MAC address table.
The MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches have 16/24 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports plus
one extension slot for ( Optional ) 100Base-FX fiber module enables long-distance connection. The
optional modules support MT-RJ, SC single-mode, ST, MT-RJ, VF-45 multi-mode connectors. The fiber
port can be used to connect to a remote side up to 2 Km ( multi-mode ) or 60Km ( single-mode ).

Hardware Description
This Section mainly describes the hardware of the MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches, and
gives a physical and functional overview of each Switch.
Front Panel
The Front Panel of the MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches consists of 16 or 24 10/100Base-TX
RJ-45 ports ( Auto MDI/MDIX ) and slot for 100Base-FX Fiber Module. The LED Indicators are
also located on the front panel of the Switch.
Figure 2-1. The Front panel of the MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches
Optional 100Base-FX Modules: There are 5 types of 1-port 100Mbps Fiber Modules available for
the MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches. The available connectors on the 100Base-FX Module
are SC, ST, MT-RJ, VF-45 ( multi-mode ) and MT-RJ, SC ( single-mode ). The distance for multi-
mode fiber cabling can extend up to 2 kilometers. The distance for SC and MT-RJ single-mode
fiber cabling is 60 kilometers.
( See Section 3. Optional Modules )
LED Indicators
The LED Indicators gives a real-time information of systematic operation status. The following
table provides descriptions of LED status and their meaning.
Figure 2-2. LED Indicators
LED Status Description

Green The port is active with device(s) attached
Blinks The port is receiving or transmitting data.
LK/ACT

Table 2-1. The Description of LED Indicators
Rear Panel
The 3-pronged power plug, On/Off switch, and ventilation fan are located at the rear panel of the MIL-
S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches as shown in Figure 2-2. The Switch will work in the range 100-240V
AC, 50-60Hz.
Figure 2-3. The Rear Panel of MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches
Desktop Installation
A. Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface where
you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy.
B. Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of cables, power
cord and allow 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 rubber feet.
C. Apply the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch.
Figure 2-4. Attach rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch
Rack-mounted Installation
The MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 switches includes a rack-mounted kit and can be mount in an EIA
standard size, 19-inch Rack, enabling the switch to be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment.
Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch:
A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the
smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the switch.
Figure 2-4. Attach mounting brackets with screws
B. After attaching both mounting brackets, position the MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches in
the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure
the switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws.
Figure 2-5. Mount the MIL-S1600 Switch in an EIA standard 19-inch Rack
Note: For proper ventilation, allow about at least 4 inches ( 10 cm ) of clearance on the front and 3.4
inches ( 8 cm ) on the back of the switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installation.
Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the switch. Connect the other end of
the power cord to the power outlet. The internal power supply of the switch works with AC in the voltage
range 100-240VAC, frequency 50~60Hz.
Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.
Optional Fiber Modules
This section introduces the optional 100Base-FX Modules which can be installed on the front
panel of the MIL-S2400 and MIL-S1600 Switches. Each optional 100Base-FX Module has a one-
port fiber connector.
The 100Base-FX Modules are designed to extend the distance between switch and other devices.
The maximum distance
connected by optical fiber is up
to 2 Km ( multi-mode fiber ) or
60 Km ( single-mode fiber ).
Figure 3-1. The optional 100Base-FX
Module
You can regard this fiber port
as backbone in the networking
infrastructure. There are four types of fiber port connectors available including ST, SC, MT-RJ,
VF-45 multi-mode and SC and MT-RJ single-mode connectors. The following is the introduction
about them.
Front Panel
The Front Panels of the 100Base-FX Modules consist of four LED-indicators, two thumbscrews,
DIP-switch, and one fiber port. An example of each of the Front Panels of the 100Base-FX
Modules are illustrated. Model number and serial number can be found on a label on the
underside of the module.
