    Every Ethernet data packet includes both source and destination addresses. These Switch models can automatically learn and store up to 4K MAC addresses. The MAC address table is volatile: it disap- pears when the switch is powered off or reset.

    "big pipe" backbone interconnecting file servers with bandwidth-hungry workgroups, departments, and offices. In the figure, the FNSW-3200 links to another hub‘s Uplink (MDI-II) port, some ports connect to 100Mbps Workstations, and attached to file servers at 200Mbps.

    Performance is bad Solution: Check the full duplex status of the Ethernet Switch. If the Ethernet Switch is set to full duplex and the partner is set to half duplex, then the performance will be poor. - 13 -...

    7. RJ-45 PIN ASSIGNMENT When connecting your FNSW-3200 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you can directly con- nect the Switch to any Ethernet devices without making a crossover cable.
  • Page 21 There are 8 wires on a standard UTP/STP cable and each wire is color-coded. The following shows the pin allocation and color of straight cable and crossover cable connection: Figure 4: Straight-Through and Crossover Cable Please make sure your connected cables are with same pin assignment and color as above picture before deploying the cables into your network.
