Page 6: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 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. -
Page 7: Features
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. - Page 8 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 h ighest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
- Page 9 this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments. • N-Way Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing you with automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections. • Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals while the port’s receiving buffer is full.

Chapter 3 Identifying External Components This section identifies all the major external components of the hub. Both the front and rear panels are shown, followed by a description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter. Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the switches. -
Page 12: Rear Panel
LED Indicator Panel , refer to the LED Indicator section for detailed information about each of the hub’s LED indicators. Rear Panel Rear panel of SW-500, SW-800, FSD-503 and FSD-803 Power is supplied through an external AC power DC Power adapter. -

use ordinary straight -through twisted-pair cables to Jacks: connect user machines and servers to the hub through them. If you need to connect another device with an MDI-X jack, such as another hub or an Ethernet switch, you should use a crossover cable, or make the connection using the MDI-X jack (described below). - Page 14 This LED indicator light green when a Fast Ethernet 100Mbps station is connected. It remains OFF if an Ethernet station is connected. This LED indicator light amber when a respective port is in full duplex (FDX) mode. Otherwise, it is OFF for half duplex (HDX) operations.

Page 15: Chapter 4 Connecting The Switch
Chapter 4 Connecting The Switch This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast Ethernet network. PC to Switch A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two -pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any of the 5/ numbered port. -

B. 100BASE-TX Hub For a 100BASE-TX hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as the following: FDX /COL LED indicator is OFF. LINK/ACT,100 Speed LED indicators are light green. Hub without Uplink (MDI-II) port If a hub is not equipped with an Uplink (MDI -II) port, connection can be made using either straight cable or crossover cable. -
Page 17: Switch To Switches (Other Devices)
Switch to Switches (other devices) The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover cable. A Using straight cable When using straight cable, this is done from the Uplink (MDI-II) port of the Switch (Switch A) to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other devices. -

Page 22: Appendix C Switch Operation
Appendix C Switch Operation Address Table The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. The information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch. -
Page 23: Store-And-Forward
Store-and-Forward Store-and-Forward type packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and-Forward Ethernet Switch stores the incoming frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission. Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability. The Switch scans the destination address from the packet header, searches the routing table provided for the incomi ng port and forwards the packet, only if required. - Page 24 100Base-TX devices can connect with the 100Base-TX port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode. If attached device is: 100Base-TX port will set to: • 10Mbps, no 10Mbps auto-negotiation • 10Mbps, with 10/20Mbps (10Base-T/Full-Duplex) auto-negotiation • 100Mbps, no 100Mbps auto-negotiation • 100Mbps, with 100/200Mbps (100Base-TX/Full-Duplex) auto-negotiation...
