ABOUT THIS GUIDE

Congratulations on your purchase of the 16-port 10/100M NWay Fast

Ethernet Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and

10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package.

Purpose

This guide discusses how to install your 16-port 10/100Mbps NWay

Fast Ethernet Switch.

Terms/Usage

In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) refers to your

16-port 10/100M NWay Fast Ethernet Switch, and ”switch” (first

letter lower case) refers to other Ethernet switches.

Overview of this User’s Guide

Introduction. Describes the Switch and its features.

Unpacking and Installation. Helps you get started with the basic

installation of the Switch.

Identifying External Components. Describes the front panel, rear

panel and LED indicators of the Switch.

Connecting the Switch. Tells how you can connect the Switch to your

Ethernet network.

Technical Specifications. Lists the technical (general, physical and

environmental, and performance) specifications of the Switch.

RJ-45 Pin Specification. Describes the RJ-45 receptacle/connector

and the straight through and crossover cable connector.

INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some

background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching

technology.

Fast Ethernet Technology

The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of

desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high

performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies

have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve

client/server response times. Among them, 100BASE-TX (Fast

Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the

current 10BASE-T technology. The non-disruptive and smooth

evolution nature, and the dominating potential market base, virtually

guarantee cost effective and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions

in the years to come.

100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standard specified by the IEEE 802.3

LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard

with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while

maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the Switch is

compatible with all 10Mbps Ethernet environments, it provides a

straightforward upgrade and takes advantage of the existing

investment in hardware, software, and personnel training.

Switching Technology

Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology

is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges and

transmits Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet

protocol, among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.

Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network

capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch

increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local

area network into different segments. Each segment has its own

bandwidth and it does not compete with others for network

transmission capacity.

Aswitch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual

segments. The switch forwards traffic from origin segment to

destination segment, without interfering with any other segments. By

doing this, the total network capacity is multiplied, while still

maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards.

For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating

problems of uplinking Fast Ethernet hubs beyond the “two-repeater

limit”. A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different

collision domains, making it possible to expand your Fast Ethernet

network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit. The switch

supports both traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast

Ethernet, which is also ideal for bridging between the existing

10Mbps networks and the new 100Mbps networks.

LAN Switching technology is a marked improvement over the

previous generation of network bridges, which were criticized by their

higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area

networks. But, the router expensive, difficult to setup, and
