Introduction Switch Architecture The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. The switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity.
Description of Hardware Description of Hardware 10/100BASE-T Ports The PoE switch base unit contains 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.

Chapter 2: Network Planning Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.

Network Planning Application Notes Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem.
Chapter 3: Installing the Switch Selecting a Site Switch units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. • The site should: - be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet. - be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F), and its humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing - provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air flow...

Chapter 4: Making Network Connections Connecting Network Devices The PoE switch is designed to be connected to 10 or 100 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using the optional 1000BASE-X, or 100BASE-FX SFP transceivers.
Making Network Connections Cabling Guidelines The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs). See Appendix B for further information on cabling. Caution: Do not plug a normal phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port.
Making Network Connections Fiber Optic Devices An optional slide-in 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, or 100BASE-FX SFP transceiver may be used for backbone or remote connections, or for connecting to a high-speed server. Each single-mode fiber optic port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.
Connectivity Rules As a connection is made, check the green Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid. The 100BASE-FX fiber optic transceiver operates at 100 Mbps, full duplex. The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-LH fiber optic transceivers operate at 1 Gbps, full duplex.
Cable Labeling and Connection Records Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.

In-Band Access In-Band Access You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a web browser, or other network management software tools. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
Appendix B: Cables Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, the twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes.

Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments Crossover Wiring If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring.
Cables 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI-X and MDI port pinouts. These ports require that all four pairs of wires be connected.
Fiber Standards Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try to correct the problem: Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category 5e or Category 6 cables.
