BOUT UIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the 24-port 10/100Mbps Auto-negotiation Fast Ethernet Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Purpose This guide discusses how to i n stall your 24-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch.
NTRODUCTION 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.
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridge Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network.
solutions to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The Switch were designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of user increase continuously. The Switch with its rack size is specifically designed for middle to large workgroups.

NPACKING AND NSTALLATION This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One the 24-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch One AC power cord, suitable for your area’s electrical power connections Four rubber feet to be used for shock cushioning...
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section Rack Mounting. Install the Switch on a level surface; on the bottom of the Switch, attach one rubber pad on each corner.
DENTIFYING XTERNAL OMPONENTS This section identifies all the major external components of the switch. Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the switch. 24-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch LED Indicator Panel ?? Power This indicator lights green when the Switch is receiving power. The LED is off indicating no power.
10Mbps or when there is no connection. Twisted-Pair Ports There are 24 Twisted-Pair shielded RJ45 ports on the Switch. These ports support automatic MDI-II/MDI-X crossover detection function, which provides true “plug-and-play” feature and avoids the confusing of crossover cables or crossover (uplink) ports. With the Auto-MDI function, you just need to connect the network cable to the Switch;...
