Details below are consistent with the installation of any electronic device Place the Black Box Express Ethernet Switch where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements: The room temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).
“collapsed backbone.” The uplink function transforms the adjacent or indicated port into an uplink port with a push of the button or by sliding the switch. This allows connection to another switch or hub without preparing crossover cable. However, this is unnecessary when either connecting directly to the uplink port of another switch or hub or when connecting fiber ports between switches or hubs.
For connection to a PC or a network interface card (NIC), use a straight-through cable. For uplink to another switch or hub, use a cross-wire cable, or use a regular straight-through cable connected to the uplink port with the uplink button activated.
Ensure that the proper cable is in use and that the recommended distance is not exceeded. For information, refer to Table 9. Exceeded cabling Check the cable distance using a cable tester or TDR. Verify that the cable lengths attached to the switch distance or misused cable meet Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 specifications.
The ability to handle the fastest rate of traffic that a generator can deliver without dropping packets. On a 100 Mbps wire speed connection, wire-speed traffic is 148,809 packets per second using 64-byte frames or 8,127 packets per second using 1,518-byte frames. Express Ethernet Switch...
