• Configurable broadcast storm control • Port mirroring (for real-time debugging without affecting the target port) • Port trunking (up to 5 trunks per switch or 12 trunks for the entire stack, each trunk contains 2~4 ports) * This feature is not supported in the current firmware release.
A Management Module can be installed in the upper slot on the rear panel (see page 3). The lower-left slot can be used for an optional media expansion module or Stacking Module, while the lower-right slot can be used for a media expansion module.
• Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%) at 50 to 60 Hz (± 3 Hz). The switch’s power supply automatically adjusts to the input voltage level. • The switch should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm (4 in.) of space on the sides for ventilation.
If you install a backup Management Module, it will automatically take over from the master should it fail. The switch with the lowest stack unit ID will always act as the master agent. For more information on switch management and the fail-over process, see the OS-6124 Users Guide.
Installing the Switch Installing Optional Media and Stacking Modules The two lower slots on the rear panel of the switch are provided for various optional media expansion modules (100BASE-FX or Gigabit) or Stacking Modules. The 100BASE-FX fiber optic module can be used to connect to remote sites, and a Gigabit module can be used as a network backbone.
This port can be connected to a site up to 220 m (722 ft) away with 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber cable, or up to 500 m (1641 ft) with 50/125 micron multimode fiber cable.
RJ-45 port on the switch. All RJ-45 ports support 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet connections. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated. Using the switch in a stand-alone configuration, you can network up to 24 end nodes.
If you use an SC-to-ST converter, run cable from the Rx (Tx) port on the module to the Tx (Rx) port on the target device. Note that the fiber optic ports operate only at 100 Mbps, full duplex. In this mode, you can run a fiber optic link up to 2 kilometers (1.24 miles).
100m (328 feet). You should test the cable installation for IEEE 802.3ab compliance. See “1000BASE-T Cable Requirements” on page 18. Note that this module operates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps with support for auto-negotiation of duplex mode (full/half), speed, and flow control.
“DC INPUT” receptacle on the rear of the switch.) Check the LED marked Power on the front panel to see if it is on. The unit will automatically select the setting that matches the connected input voltage.
(such as a workstation or server). When a port on the switch is connected to a hub (a 10 or 100 Mbps repeater), the bandwidth provided by that port is shared by all the devices connected to the attached hub.

Flexible Configuration - This switch is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. It can be used as a simple stand-alone switch; stacked up to four high; or connected with standard repeater hubs, switches, or other network interconnection devices in various configurations.

Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.
It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment.
