TRANSITION NETWORKS’ POCKET SWITCH TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Standards IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u Dimension 4.75" X 5.75" X 1.0" (120mm x 146mm x 25mm) Power Supply NOTE: Replace power supply only with the equivalent input rating (see below) and output rating (regulated 12VDC at 1.5 A).
• The item(s) may be shipped by the customer or the distributor. • Transition Networks will repair or replace the unit, at TN’s discretion, and cover the cost of the return freight to the distributor or to the customer, whichever requested the RMA number.
Warranty Statement A. Five Year Warranty Transition Networks, Inc. (TN) warrants, for a period of five years, that TN products (with the exception of power supplies and fans that TN warrants for two years) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, and will be in conformity with TN’s specifications.
(ISO). IEEE 802.3u is the extension of IEEE 802.3 to 100BASE-X. Protocol Compatible As devices functioning on the OSI MAC layer, Transition Networks’ pocket switches are protocol independent and therefore totally compatible with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, TCP/IP, NetWare, DECnet and XNS protocols.
4. OPERATION The Transition Networks’ pocket switch requires no operator intervention beyond occasionally monitoring LED status indicators. Power LED Indicator Port 1 LED Indicators POWER Steady green LED indicates connection to external AC power. NOTE: The port LED indicators provide separate data for each port.
Increasing Bandwidth by Segmenting 10BASE-T Collision Domain The Transition Networks’ pocket switch adapts to the fact that each Ethernet network device (station) is connected independently to the shared Ethernet signaling system, called the network medium. Each station transmits serially over the shared medium to every other attached station.
MAC Address Table The dynamic internal routing table of the Transition Networks’ pocket switch provides self learning capabilities for up to 8192 MAC addresses of incoming and outgoing packets. Once a network node address is stored in the MAC address table, data packets addressed to that node are sent directly.

Increasing Bandwidth Ten-fold by Installing 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) Fast Ethernet, 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX on the Transition Networks’ pocket switch, moves signals at 100 Mb/s, ten times faster than legacy Ethernet. Legacy Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Since 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet is an extension of the existing Ethernet IEEE 802.3 standard that uses the existing 802.3 media access control...

5 segments. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 for next collision domain. Transition Networks’ The Transition Networks pocket switch can be installed to provide one 10BASE-T switched port and one 100BASE-TX switched port. Auto-Negotiation The 100BASE-TX standard includes automatic speed and duplex mode sensing as part of the Auto-Negotiation function.
(full-duplex) Restrictions: Optical loss budget NOTE: If the Transition Networks’ pocket switch is installed in a network that is evolving by increments from legacy 10BASE-T Ethernet to 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet and/or to 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet, refer again to these cable type restrictions at each upgrade.
