Preface

This manual describes how to install and use the provided eight-

port Fast Ethernet Switch, which features that 10/100BASE-TX

ports automatically sense the presence of 100Mbps or 10Mbps

Ethernet networks. 100BASE-FX Multi-mode and Single-mode

fiber ports are also available for this product series.

To get the most out of this manual, you should have an

understanding of networking concepts such as bridging, IEEE

802.3 Ethernet and 100BASE-TX/FX Fast Ethernet, and local

area networks (LANs).

For more information about these topics, please refer to the

Appendix.

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

work stations with servers. The old shared-access 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 10BASE-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.

Eight Ports Ethernet Switch

The eight-port Fast Ethernet switch offered here adds 100Mbps

switching performance in a cost-effective desktop package.

The Switch has RJ-45 ports, each a 10/100 port capable of

autosensing both speed and half/full duplex mode.

With the demand for fiber, this eight-port switch provides multi-

mode fiber ports.

This switch makes it possible to join a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet

network to an existing 10Mbps Ethernet network. Its internal

cache buffers the traffic from the higher bandwidth 100Mbps

segment to the 10Mbps segment. If you later decide to make

both segments 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, the ports of the switch

will automatically sense the change and adjust to 100Mbps

operation (for RJ-45 ports only).

In addition to the benefits of integrating 10Mbps and 100Mbps

networks, this switch is also useful for segmenting networks

that is bogged down with excess traffic. By splitting a network

into several segments and bridging them, you can cut the

traffic load on your network and reduce collisions on each

segment, especially if you can minimize intersegment traffic by

placing users and devices that normally talk to each other on

the same segment.

This switch fully complies with IEEE802.3u, 100BASE-TX/FX,

and IEEE802.3, 10BASE-T standards. It features "wire-speed”

switching mechanisms as well as the ability to filter local traffic,

collisions, and error packets to maximize network performance.

This eight-port switch also facilitates an affordable and efficient

migration path to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and can continue to

enhance your network's performance even if you upgrade your

Front Panel

The front panel of the switch has eight ports and an array of LED

indicators to provide you with instant feedback on the status of

the switch.

Ports

The TX ports of the switch automatically senses and adapts itself

to the presence of both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX network

standards. The switch can auto MDIX on any TX ports,

provide easy uplink with any TX port. For 100BASE-FX ports,

since the ports are fiber, they are capable of accepting

100BASE-FX connections only.

When connects to a 100BASE-TX network, the ports operate at

100Mbps in half-duplex mode and 200Mbps in full-duplex

mode. When connects to a 10BASE-T network, the ports

operate at 10Mbps in half-duplex mode and 20Mbps in

full-duplex mode. With 100BASE-FX ports, when it connects

to a 100BASE-FX network, the ports operate at 100Mbps in

half-duplex mode and 200Mbps in full-duplex mode.

User’s Guide

The maximum range of a 100BASE-TX network connected to the

switch is 100 meters with Category 5 shielded twisted-pair and

unshielded twisted-pair (STP/UTP) cable. A 10BASE-T

network may range up to 100 meters with Category 3, 4, or 5

STP/UTP cable. As for the length of FX fiber link between a

switch and Data Terminal Equipment, FX is capable to span at

least 2 Kilometers using 62.5/125-micron fiber-optic cable in

full-duplex mode and 412 meters in half-duplex mode.

The array of LED indicators on the front panel conveys status

and configuration information to help you monitor and

troubleshoot the switch.

nPort Status

10/100BASE-TX Ports

Each port has an array of three LEDs to show status information.

The LEDs are identified by a corresponding array of captions

located below the LEDs on the front panel.

LNK/ACT: The link indicator is the top LED. It is illuminated

whenever the port is connected to another

working networked device.

The LED flashes when the port is transmitting

or receiving data.

100: The middle LED comes on whenever the switch

detects that the corresponding port is connected

to a 100BASE-TX segment.
