6.50 in. x 3.94 in. x .95 in. Front Panel The LED indicators are located on the frond panel of the switch. They provide a real-time indication of systematic operation status. The Front Panel of the MIL-S501xx is displayed in Figure 2-1.
LED Indicators The following table provides descriptions of the LED statuses and meaning. LED Status Color Power Green The power of unit is On Green The port is operating at the speed of 100Mbps. 100M Green The port is successfully connecting with the device. LNK / Blinks Yellow The port is operating in Full-duplex mode.
Rear Panel The Rear Panel of the MIL-S501xx consists of 5x 10/100 N-Way UTP switch ports, Uplink Port, one 100Base-FX fiber port, 1 DIP- switch to select fiber port full-duplex or half-duplex mode, and DC power connector. There are five types of fiber connectors available for the convenience of your connectivity.

RJ-45 Ports: Five 10/100 N-Way auto-sensing for 10Base-T or 100Baes-TX connections. Uplink Port: One uplink port to cascade to a hub or switch, with the maximum distance between the switch to another device is 100 meters. 100Base-FX Fiber Port: There are 5 types of fiber connectors available for the MIL-S501xx as shown above.
Desktop Application The MIL-S501xx is designed to be a compact desktop size switch that is an ideal solution for small workgroup. The Switch can be used as a standalone switch to which personal computers, server, printer server are connected to form small workgroup.
The Up-link Port is the same port as port 1, but the pin assignment has been designed to contain crossover pinout. That is to say, you can connect this port to hub or switch without crossover cable. Figure 3-2. Collapsed Backbone Application In the above illustration, two MIL-S501xx are used to interconnect two small workgroups via fiber cable.
You may check whether network interface (e.g., a network adapter card on the attached device), network cable, or switch port is defective or not. Verify that the switch and attached device are power on. Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device.

Cabling A. RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: Category3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

Appendix What is Switch Ethernet ? With a high-speed backplane, it is possible to have all ports communicating at wire speed with minimal latency and low packet loss A-1. 100Base-T Technology Review The 100BaseT standard retains 10BaseT's critical 100-meter maximum cable length between the hub and desktop. With 100BaseT, the maximum number of repeater Hubs is two.
With a high-speed switch backplane, it is possible to have all ports communicating at wire speed with minimal latency and low packet loss.

For networks experiencing a shortage of bandwidth, the introduction of a 10Mbps switch will only move the bottleneck from the hub to the 10Mbps-server pipe. A minimal improvement will be apparent, due mainly to the decrease in the number of packet collisions.
Full-duplex Full duplex is a transmission method that effectively doubles the bandwidth of a link between a network card and a switch. It disables the collision detection mechanism, so the card and the switch can transmit and receive concurrently at full wire speed on each of the transmit and receive paths.
