5.1 Connect ISCOM 1024E
Use UTP3 or UTP5 to connect 10BaseT with ISCOM 1024E
Use UTP5 to connect 100BaseT with ISCOM 1024E
The cable should not more than 100m in IEEE stander.
5.2 Connect ISCOM1024E with other Ethernet switch or HUB
ISCOM1024E can connect other 10/100switch, Support MDI or MDI-X.
The connected method as follows:
1. MDI to MDI-X: use Straight-through to connect ISCOM1024E with other switch or HUB
2. MDI-X to MDI-X: use Cross-over to connect ISCOM1024E with other switch or HUB
5.3 Application
An Ethernet Switch is a LAN interconnection device which operates at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI reference
model. A switch is fundamentally similar to a bridge, but usually supports a larger number of connected LAN segments
and has a richer management capability. Modern LANs have increasingly replaced the shared media with a switched
media, by installing Ethernet switches and bridges in place of hubs and repeaters. These logically partition the traffic to
travel only over the network segments on the path between the source and the destination. This reduces the wastage of
bandwidth which results from sending the packet to parts of the network which do not need to receive the data. There are
also benefits from improved security (users are less able to tap-in into other user's data), better management (the ability
to control who receives what information (i.e. Virtual LANs) and to limit the impact of network problems), and the
ability to operate some links in full duplex (rather than half duplex required for shared access).
