Page 5: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction This section provides you with useful Fast Ethernet, hub and switching technology background. Fast Ethernet Technology In July 1993, the Fast Ethernet Alliance was formed by a group of networking companies with the goal of drafting the 802.3u 100BaseT specifications of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). -
Page 6: Fast Ethernet Hub Technology
Fast Ethernet Hub Technology Class I Fast Ethernet Hubs Class I hubs must be used when connecting differing network media such as two wire-pair 100BASE-TX media with four wire- pair 100BASE-T4 media within the same collision domain. The hub receives line data from any port, translates it into a digital signal, retranslates the signal back into the appropriate line data and repeats it to all other ports. -
Page 7: Gigabit Technology
stackable hubs to increase the total number ports within each collision domain. A switch uses store and forwarding technology to transfer data between collision domains at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol. This means that data is transferred only to the data’s destination collision domain. The data is not transferred to other collision domains, which allows your total LAN capacity to be increased without the need to invest in new media infrastructure. -
Page 8: Chapter 2 About Ethernet Switch
Chapter 2 About Ethernet Switch The Ethernet Switchs are multi-speed network devices combining Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet capabilities in a single compact, rack-mountable cabinet. Combining 10Mbps Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in one unit allows these switches to unclog existing LANs and provide a path to efficient, high-speed networking. The Ethernet Switch provides 16 10/100Base-TX ports, plus 2 slots for 3 optional different slide-in modules. - Page 9 Figure 2-3. Rear Panel All LED status indicators are located on the FRONT panel of the switches. They provide a real-time indication of system and operational status. The ports for connections to other devices and networks are also on the front panels, along with the crossover switches.

Page 14: Chapter 3 Planning Your Network
Chapter 3 Planning your Network Before you install your Switch, you should review the guidelines for setting up Ethernet networks. Further, you should plan your network to take maximum advantage of its switching capabilities. 10Base-T Ethernet Network Guidelines ♦ The maximum length of a 10Base-T cable segment is 100 meters (328 feet). ♦... -
Page 15: Collapsed Backbone Link
Figure 3-1. Expanding your 10Base-T Network 100Base-TX Networks The hub limit of a 100Base-TX network depends on the class of the hub in the network. With a Class I hub, the network is limited to one hub. With a Class II hub, the network is limited to two hubs. However, you can expand your 100Base-TX network that includes either class of hub by adding a Switch. -

Figure 3-3. Switch 100/1000 Hub in a collapsed backbone link File server Link 100Base Solution With a fileserver link, you can increase file server performance by increasing the Hub's bandwidth between one or more fileservers and the workgroups they serve. If you connect 10Mbps workgroup hubs to the 10Mbps ports on the Switch, traffic in one workgroup will not interfere with the performance of another workgroup. -

increases to beyond the performance of standard 10Base-T or 100Base-TX hubs. Operating the Switch at full duplex further increases performance 1000Base Solution You can upgrade your server with a Gigabit Ethernet NIC, and introduce a Gigabit backbone switch too. This contain several switch ports which provides much faster access to your server with minimum disruption. -
Page 18: Chapter 4 Installation
Chapter 4 Installation The Ethernet Switch can be installed quickly and easily. However, for an installation with minimum impact on the existing network, please read this chapter carefully. Installing a Ethernet Switch involves three steps: 1. Choosing a location 2. Supplying power 3. -
Page 19: Connecting The Switch
Connecting the Switch You can connect your switch to network devices such as desktops and workgroups or to other hubs. Before connecting your switch to a desktop or workgroup make sure that: The 10Base-T twisted pair Ethernet cabling is Category 3 or above. The 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling is tested Category 5. -
Page 20: Chapter 5 Module Installation And Removal
Chapter 5 Module Installation and Removal WARNING: Before installing the Modules into a Switch, you must disconnect the Switch from the main power supply. Handling the Modules The Module can be easily damaged by electrostatic discharge. To prevent damage, please observe the following: Do not remove Modules from their packaging until you are ready to install it into a Switch. -
Page 21: Removing The Modules
Check the LED indicators on the front of the Switch to ensure that the Module is operating correctly. Removing the Modules a. Ensure that the power supply and the backbone connection cables are disconnected from the Switch. b. Place the Switch on a flat surface. Undo the two captive thumbscrews securing the Module into the Switch. Do not remove any other screws from the rear of the Switch. -
