Page 7: Chapter 1. Introduction
Chapter 1. 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. - Page 8 FNSW-8088F and FNSW-8086F in addition to the original switch. The FNSW-8088F has eight multi- mode fiber ports. And for FNSW-8086F, it has 6-port 100BASE- FX ports and 2-port 10/100BASE-TX ports. This switch makes it possible to join a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network to an existing 10Mbps Ethernet network (FNSW-8086F).

Figure 1: Front Panel of FNSW-8086F/ FNSW-8088F Ports Ports of this switch are capable of accepting 100BASE-FX with ST interface connections. For FNSW-8086F, the two TP ports support 10/100BASE-TX with Cat. 3, 4, 5 (100Mbps) twisted pairs connection. When connects to a 100BASE-TX network, the ports operate at 100Mbps in half-duplex mode and 200Mbps in full-duplex mode. -

Page 19: Chapter 2. Installation
Chapter 2. Installation This chapter presents step-by-step installation instructions for this eight-port Fiber-optic Fast Ethernet Switch. Selecting a Site for the Switch As with any electronic device, you should place the Switch where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. -
Page 20: Connecting To Power
Connecting to Power Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of the switch, and then plug the cord into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 240 VAC. Turn the Ethernet switch on by flipping the ON/OFF switch on the rear of the unit to the I (ON) position. - Page 21 Prepare a pair of fiber optic cables with ST type connectors at both ends. If you are making a connection to a server or workstation, be sure that it has a properly installed 100BASE-FX network interface card. Connect the Rx/Tx jacks on the target device to the Tx/Rx jacks on the switch.

Page 28: Fast Ethernet
Ethernet Technologies More than 80 percent of all Local Area networks are installed with Ethernet. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) define the standard of Ethernet as IEEE 802.3. The IEEE 802.3 provides rules for configuring Ethernet LANs, specifies how elements should interact with one another, and different types of media that can be used, as well as data rate (10Mbps) of Ethernet. - Page 29 use with cable 3,4,or 5 UPT cable. Among three of them, 100Base-TX is most compatible to 10Base-TX. It allows users to retain the existing 10Base-T cabling infrastructure, thus becomes the most popular Fast Ethernet technology. Gigabit Ethernet is still in the process of development. Other than supports higher data transfer speed, this technology also promises for an easy migration path.
- Page 30 into the rest of network, thus increasing efficiency of the network transmission. There are two basic architectures of LAN switches, cut-through and store-and-forward. Cut-through switches only examine the destination address before forwarding it on to its destination segment. A store-and-forward switch accepts and analyzes the entire packet before forwarding it to its destination.
