Introduction Overview The Vi3010 PoE switch, next generation network solutions, is an affordable managed switch that provides a reliable infrastructure for your business network. These switches deliver more intelligent features you need to improve the availability of your critical business applications, protect your sensitive information, and optimize your network bandwidth to deliver information and applications more effectively.

Switch The switch performs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This allows wire- Architecture speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data integrity.
SFP Transceiver Vi3010 supports the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. The SFP transceiver slots are shared with RJ-45 port 9 to 10. In the default configuration, if Slots a SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled.

Make sure the twisted-pair Ethernet cable is always routed away from power lines, radios, transmitters, or any other electrical interference. Make sure that Vi3010 is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz. Ethernet Cabling To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation.

To Install a SFP Transceiver, Do the Following: Step1. Consider the network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type. Step2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in one orientation.

Making Network Connections Connecting The switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100, or 1000Mbps network cards in Network Devices PCs and servers, as well as, to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using optional SFP transceivers. Twisted-Pair Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors Devices...

Step2. If the device is a network card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. See the section “Network Wiring Connections.” Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.

An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver can be used as a backbone connection between Fiber Optic SFP switches, or as a connection to a high-speed server. Devices Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.
When adding hubs to your network, please note that because switches break up Connectivity Rules the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices. All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also 1000Base-T Cable work for 1000BASE-T, provided that all four wire pairs are connected.

Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and record where each cable is connected. This will allow the user to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults, and change the topology without the need for unnecessary time consumption.
Because the series Vi3010 behave in this way (in compliance with the IEEE802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch.

Symptom Action POWER LED is Off Check connections between the switch, the power cord, and the wall outlet. Contact your dealer for assistance. Link LED is Off Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on. ...
Power and Cooling Problems If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you Installation may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses, or surges at the power outlet.
Cables For 10/100BASE-TX connections, the twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of Twisted-Pair Cable wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of and Pin wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire Assignment might be green and the other, green with white stripes.
