Page 5: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction This section provides you with useful Fast Ethernet, hub and switching technology background. Fast Ethernet Technology In July 1993, the Fast Ethernet Alliance was formed by a group of networking companies with the goal of drafting the 802.3u 100BaseT specifications of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). -
Page 6: Dual-Speed Ethernet Hub Technology
Class I hubs must be used when connecting differing network media such as two wire-pair 100BASE-TX media with four wire- pair 100BASE-T4 media within the same collision domain. The hub receives line data from any port, translates it into a digital signal, retranslates the signal back into the appropriate line data and repeats it to all other ports. -

You can also use a switch to dedicate a full 100Mbps line to power workstation users and servers. Switches with bridging technology are ideal for facilitating data transfer between your 10Mbps legacy devices and your new 100Mbps devices. Switches have lower latencies than the previous generation of network bridges; they use your existing network and do not require the use of software for installation. -
Page 8: Chapter 2 About Your Ethernet Switch
Chapter 2 About Your Ethernet Switch The Ethernet Switch will provide you with the flexibility and manageability you need as you incrementally migrate your network to Fast Ethernet. This Ethernet Switch provides you with 24 switched 10/100Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports and one expansion slot in the rear panel. -

appropriate bus. The Ethernet Switch features Auto-Negotiation that ensures that all of your network connections will operate at the highest possible transfer rate. This Ethernet Switch is protocol independent which eliminates the need for software to install the unit or maintain your network. Information at a Glance The Ethernet Switch front panel display provides monitoring and diagnosis with simplicity and precision. -

Page 13: Rack Installation
Rack Installation You can use an EIA standard size (19-inch) equipment rack to mount your Ethernet Switch. Installation Use the screws provided to attach rack-mounting brackets to the sides of the Ethernet Switch. Using the screws provided with the equipment rack, mount the Ethernet Switch into the rack. Figure 3- 2. -
Page 14: Handling The Modules
Chapter 4 Module Installation and Removal WARNING: Before installing the Modules into the Ethernet Switch, you must disconnect the Switch from the main power supply. Handling the Modules The Module can be easily damaged by electrostatic discharge. To prevent damage, please observe the following: Do not remove Modules from their packaging until you are ready to install it into a Switch. -

Connect the other end of the fiber optic segment to an appropriate device fitted with a 1000Mbps adapter. Please also check Check the LED indicators on the front of the Switch to ensure that the Module is operating correctly. with the module’s guide for more. Removing the Modules Ensure that the power supply and the backbone connection cables are disconnected from the Switch. -
Page 16: Chapter 5 Planning Your Network
Chapter 5 Planning Your Network Before you install your Ethernet Switch, you should review the guidelines for setting up Ethernet networks. Further, you should plan how to organize your network to take maximum advantage of its switching capabilities. 10Base-T Ethernet Network Guidelines ♦... - Page 17 10Base-T Networks 10Base-T Networks are limited to four hubs between any two nodes. By adding your Ethernet Switch to a network, you can divide that network into segments with their own collision domains. In other words, you can connect one 10Base-T network with four hubs to your Ethernet Switch.

♦ Used the CSMA/CD access method with support for one repeater per collision domain ♦ Addressed backward compatibility with 10Base-T and 100Base-T technologies Collapsed Backbone Link Traditionally, bridges and routers have used to link local area networks into one interconnected network. But these devices involve difficult management and long traffic delays. -

Figure 5-4. Fileserver Link Connecting servers through 100Base-TX ports increases performance to the clients, even through the clients are on 10Base-T segments. Because multiple 10Base-T devices can access the file server at the same time through a 100Base-TX connection, performance increases to beyond the performance of standard 10Base-T or 100Base-TX hubs. - Page 20 Ethernet Switch Figure 5-5. Used as a Multiport Bridge Using your hub, you can also connect 10Base-T networks and 100Base-TX networks together for more flexibility in your network topology. As in the graphic above, the Ethernet Switch Pro could connect through one port to a 10Base-T network, and through another port, connect to a 100Base-TX port, creating one network.

Link Activity. This LED indicator will be green. The LED indicator will blink when there is a transmission of data (activity) taking place at the corresponding port. Duplex Mode/Collision. This LED indicator will not be lit when the corresponding port is operating in Hall Duplex mode. When collisions occur at the corresponding port, the LED indicator will blink. - Page 23 If a device you wish to connect to your Ethernet Switch is not equipped with an available MDI-II Uplink port, you must use a crossover cable. Please see Appendix A, Technical Specifications, for cable requirements. Using a crossover cable, you can connect your Ethernet Switch via any port to the device via any port.
