ABOUT THIS GUIDE

Congratulations on your purchase of the 5/8-port

10/100M NWay Fast Ethernet Switch. This device

integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps

Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible

desktop package.

Purpose

This manual discusses how to install your 5/8-port

10/100M NWay Fast Ethernet Switch.

Terms/Usage

In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter upper

case) refers to your 5/8-port 10/100M NWay Fast

Ethernet Switch, and ”switch” (first letter lower case)

refers to other Ethernet switches.

This guide provides the information you need to install

and configure the following models of the Switch:

§5-port 10/100M NWay Fast Ethernet Switch

§8-port 10/100M NWay Fast Ethernet Switch

The functionality of both units is identical, except for

the number of ports. Where appropriate, differences

between the two units are noted.

Overview of this User’s Guide

Chapter 1, Introduction. Describes the Switch and

its features.

Chapter 2, Unpacking and Setup. Helps you get

started with the basic installation of the Switch.

Chapter 3, Identifying External Components.

Describes the front panel, rear panel and LED

indicators of the Switch.

Chapter 4, Connecting the Switch. Tells how you

can connect the Switch to your Ethernet network.

Appendix A, Technical Specifications. Lists the

technical (general, physical and environmental, and

performance) specifications of the Switch.

Appendix B, RJ-45 Pin Specification. Describes the

RJ-45 receptacle/connector and the straight 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-

T (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 100Mbps Fast Ethernet is compatible with all

other 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 bridge Ethernet packets at the

MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol

transmitting 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, which don’t compete with each

other for network transmission capacity.

The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge

between the individual segments. The switch, without

interfering with any other segments, automatically

forwards traffic that needs to go from one segment to

another. 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 chaining 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

for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches supporting both

traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast

Ethernet are also ideal for bridging between the

existing 10Mbps networks and the new 100Mbps

networks.

Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement

over the previous generation of network bridges,

which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers

have also been used to segment local area networks,

but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance

required make routers relatively impractical. Today

switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local

area network congestion problems.

Features

The Switches were designed for easy installation and

high performance in an environment where traffic on

the network and the number of user increase

continuously.

The Switches with their small, compact size were

specifically designed for small to middle workgroups.

These Switches can be installed where space is

limited; moreover, they provide immediate access to a

rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-

reliable functions.

The Switches are ideal for deployment with multiple

high-speed servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or

100Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth

200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can

provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe

for simultaneous access to the server.

The Switches are expandable by cascading two or

more switches together. As all ports support

200Mbps, the Switches can be cascaded from any port

and to any number of switches.

The Switches are a perfect choice for site planning to

upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet
