BOUT UIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the 8 -Port 10/100Mbps NWay Ethernet Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible desktop package. Purpose This manual discusses how to install your 8-Port 10/100Mbps NWay Ethernet Switch.
NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high -speed LAN technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times.
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network.
characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, and the setup and maintenance required, make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network...

the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss. The Switch is a managed 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch that offers solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are: ?? Supports one 100BASE -FX multimode fiber port for long distance connection, up to 2km in full-duplex mode.
NPACKING AND ETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switches. Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One 8-Port 10/100Mbps NWay Ethernet Switch One external power adapter This User’s Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your supplier for replacement.
D E N TIFYING XTERNAL OMPONENTS This section identifies all the major external components of the Switch. Both the front and rear panels are shown followed by a description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter. Front Panel The figure below shows the front panel of the switch.
Rear Panel Duplex mode selection switch for fiber port 1 - FX 5VDC/2.4A 10/100Mbps NWay Ethernet MDI-X RJ-45 Ports 100BASE-FX Fiber Port DC Power Jack DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Since the switch does not include a power switch, plugging its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on.
