Preface

This manual describes the installation and usage of the

compact 8-port fast Ethernet switch with one fiber-optic

port. This combination of fiber and TX ports in a

compact box delivers the power of 100Mbps switching

along with the distance of fiber. The compact size is ideal

for using on the desk-top or mounting on the wall. The

fiber port accommodates SC type connector. RJ-45

connects auto-negotiating 10/100BASE-TX transmission.

Introduction

Benefits of Switching

Ethernet switching technology has dramatically boosted

the total bandwidth of a network. It puts configuration

flexibility and bandwidth adaptability into the local

workgroups where the majority of work is generated.

It further eliminates congestion problems inherent to the

CSMA/CD protocol and improves predictable response

time under heavy network loads. Expensive routing

equipment was used in the past to reduce the congestion

under heavy loads.

The new wave of object-oriented client and server

applications demands higher bandwidth and tighter

integration of client workstations with servers. The old

shared-access (hub/repeater) Ethernet technology

provides neither enough bandwidth nor predictable

response time for this new wave of workgroup

computing.

Fast Ethernet switching not only satisfies both technical

and business requirements, but also preserves the user’s

existing investment in the huge 10 Base-T Ethernet

installed Base.

This compatibility ensures a path for users to add,

change, and migrate to Fast Ethernet as demands emerge.

It also provides a low cost and flexible bandwidth

solution directly to local workgroups where the majority

of work is generated, reducing the need for expensive

network equipment.

8-port Ethernet Switch

This compact switch has seven RJ-45 ports and one fiber

port. Each of the RJ-45 port is capable of auto-negotiate

10/100Mbps and full or half-duplex mode. The multi-

mode fiber port is able to accommodate SC connector.

The switch combines fiber and TX ports in a compact

box, providing an inexpensive solution for

interconnecting between buildings in a campus, multi-

tenant location covering large areas or industrial

environment. The fiber port provides the long distance

capability and the space saving compact size makes it

ideal for wall mounting or desktop.

Store-and-forward, true non-blocking architecture and

auto-negotiation are features of this switch to optimize

performance and value of this switch. Installation and

operation involves simply plugging in cabling and

connecting power. This 8-port switch represents

affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use LAN solutions.

Uplink Port

An uplink port allows connection, through the TX ports,

to another regular (i.e. non-uplink) port of a switch or

hub. The labeled uplink port on the switch is located

adjacent to port 7TX. Port 7TX & uplink-port are

mutually exclusive. If port 7TX is in use, the uplink-port

will be automatically disabled and vise versa.

If connecting to an uplink port of a hub or another switch,

any of the regular ports can be used. To connect two

regular RJ-45 ports between any two switches or hubs,

you need a cross-wire cable.

DIP Switch

The DIP switch allows fixed settings. Locate the DIP

switch in the back of the switch. Figure 2 summarizes

these settings.

Pin 1: changes the traffic of the fiber-optic port to half-

duplex when moved up to the ON position; full-duplex in

the OFF position.

User’s Manual8

Pin 2: enables fixed-setting of the TX Port 1 by moving

up to the ON position; activates auto-negotiation in the

OFF setting. Pin 2 must be in the ON position in order to

change port settings with pins 3 and 4.

Pin 3: forces 10Mbps speed on port 1 when in the ON

position; forces 100Mbps speed on port 1 when in the

OFF position. Note: new setting will not be activated

unless fixed-setting is enabled.

Pin 4: forces half-duplex on port 1 when in the ON

position; full-duplex in the OFF position. Note: new

setting will not be activated unless fixed-setting is

enabled.

Installation

Selecting a Site for the Switch

As with any electronic device, do not subject the Ethernet

switch to extreme temperatures, humidity, or

electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you

select should meet the following requirements:

• Room temperature of between 0-40°C (32-

104°F)

• Relative humidity of less than 90 percent,

non-condensing.

• Electromagnetic field (RFC) of surrounding

devices not to exceed standards for IEC

801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.

• Adequate ventilation. Do not block the

ventilation holes on the side of the switch or

the fan exhaust port on the rear of the switch.

• Power outlet located within 1.8Meter of the

switch.

User’s Manual10

Connecting to Power

Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on

the back of the switch, and then plug the cord into a

standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 240

VAC.

Turn on the switch by flipping the ON/OFF switch on the

rear of the unit to the I(ON) position. The Oposition is

OFF.

Connecting to Your Network

Consult Table 1 for specific cabling requirements.

Prepare cable with connections corresponding to the port.

Install the same type of connectors at both ends for

proper performance. With the power switch in the OFF

position, connect the cables. No further installation is

necessary.
