Preface Benefits of Switching Ethernet switching technology has dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network. It puts configuration flexibility and bandwidth adaptability into the local workgroups where the majority of work is generated. It further eliminates congestion problems inherent to the CSMA/CD protocol and improves predictable response time under heavy network loads.
Introduction The 8 Port Pro-Switch/8F is a high-speed, professional-grade Fast Ethernet switch that provides wire-speed, a Fast Ethernet switching technology that allows high-performance, low-cost connections up to Full- Duplex, 100Mbps Ethernet networks. With the Fiber Optic ports, this is a perfect, flexible backbone switch.
Network Application This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the Switch is used. The Pro-Switch/8F is designed to be used as a backbone switch. With its large address table (4000 MAC address), Fiber ports, and high performance, it is ideal for connecting WANS to LAN network segments.
DIP-Switch Setup The DIP-switch is used to configure full- or Half-duplex switching. The DIP- switch setup is as follows: Position Description Enables Full-Duplex Operation for 100Based-FX ports DOWN: Enables Half-Duplex Operation for 100Based-FX ports Figure 2. LED view of Pro-Switch/8F Power On Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the Switch.
Rackmount Installation Included with the Pro-Switch/8F are brackets allowing the switch to be mounted in a standard EIA-sized, 19-inch rack. The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch: A.
Connecting to Power Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of the switch, and then plug the cord into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 250 VAC. Figure 3. Rear panel view of Pro-Switch/8F Turn the switch on by flipping the ON/OFF switch on the rear of the unit to the I (ON) position.
