BOUT This User’s guide tells you how to install your DES-1008FX, how to connect it to your Fast Ethernet network using fiber cable, and how to set its configuration using the built-in back panel DIP switch. Terms For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms “Switch” (first letter upper case) to refer to the DES-1008FX 100 Fast Ethernet Switch, and “switch”...

Chapter 5, Configuring the Switch. Tells how to use the built-in back panel DIP switch to set switch parameters for full or half duplex. Appendix A, Technical Specifications. Lists the technical specifications of the DES-1008FX. Appendix B, Fiber Connector SC Pin Specifications. Shows the details and pin assignments for the Fiber Module receptacle/ connector.
User’s Guide NTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the DES-1008FX, as well as giving some background information about Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LAN s and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating problems of chaining hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit.” A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making it possible to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE-FX networks.
Today’s switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The DES-1008FX Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously.

Full and Half-duplex at 100Mbps to allow two communicating stations to transmit and receive at the same time. Data forwarding rate 148,800 pps per port at 100% of fiber- speed. Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc. at 148,800 pps per port at 100% of fiber-speed.
Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One DES-1008FX 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch Four rubber feet with adhesive backing 1 AC power cord This user’s guide with Registration Card If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local D-Link Reseller for replacement.
Switch. Desktop or Shelf Installation When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device must be first attached. cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it.
Figure 1. DES-1008FX Fast Ethernet Switch installed on a Desktop or Shelf Rack Installation The DES-1008FX can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the switch’s front panel (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided.
Switch in an equipment rack Power on The DES-1008FX Switch can be used with AC power sources 100 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz. The power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC power connector and the system fan. The Switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source...
User’s Guide Power Failure As a precaution, the Switch should be turned OFF in case of power failure. When power is resumed, turn the Switch ON. At all times, avoid leaving the Switch ON after the occurrence of a power failure.
This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch Front Panel The front panel of the Switch consists of 8 (100 Mbps) 100BaseFX ports and LED indicators. Figure 3. Front panel view of the DES-1008FX Switch Identifying External Components...
Half/Full Duplex DIP switch and a system fan. The following shows the rear panel of the Switch. Figure 4. Rear panel view of the DES-1008FX System Fans. These fans are used to circulate air inside the Switch and also to dissipate heat.
The LED indicators of the Switch include Power, Link, Act, FDX and Col. The following shows the LED indicators for the Switch along with an explanation of each indicator. Figure 5. The DES-1008FX Switch LED indicators This bank of eight switches Identifying External Components...

User’s Guide Power. This indicator operates when the Switch is turned ON (green). If this indicator is not lit, check the AC power connector to assure proper insertion of the power cord and the power switch is turned ON. Link These LED indicators are illuminated (green) when a 100 Mbps device is connected to any of the 8 ports or uplink port.
A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-string fiber straight cable. The PC (equipped with a 100 Mbps SC jack) should be connected to any of the eight ports (1x - 8x) of the DES-1008FX. The LED indicators for PC connection are dependent on the LAN card capabilities.
100Base-FX Hub A traditional repeater/hub can only accomplish Half-Duplex setting. Set the DES-1008FX Duplex Mode switches for Half- Duplex of the ports that are hook to these hubs. For a 100Base-FX hub, the Switch’s LED indicators should illuminate the following: The Link LED indicator comes ON upon hookup.
Switch the Duplex mode switches to the appropriate selections to get the maximum bandwidth. Consult the other switches manual for the proper setting of Duplex Modes. The DES-1008FX Duplex Mode switches can be found on the back of the unit. "DOWN/ON"...
Example front port 1 is switch 8. Half-Duplex is "DOWN" or "ON". Full-Duplex is "UP" or "OFF". Default settings for the DES-1008FX are all "DOWN/ON" at Half- Duplex. Any further configuration is not necessary for the DES- 1008FX.
