  • Page 11: Overview

    10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide VERVIEW Introduction The DES-815 Fast Ethernet Switch is ideal for network managers who want to boost workgroup performance easily by micro- segmenting a 10Mbps LAN while adding 100Mbps links, or it is excellently suited to provide a dedicated Fast Ethernet connection to a key network server or station in an existing 10Mbps network.
  • Page 12: 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Introduction

    The Switch provides an easy, affordable, high-performance, seamless, and standard-based migration path to a 100BASE-TX LAN while preserving your initial investment and use of 10Mbps Ethernet LANs. 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Introduction Computers today have become increasingly powerful, with the capability to accommodate very sophisticated uses such as multimedia applications, video-conferencing, and CAD/CAM.
  • Page 13: 100Base-Tx Technology Overview

    Fast Ethernet’s increased operational speed reduces the maximum distance between all elements of the LAN (see below). Overview 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide...
  • Page 14: Network

    The EIA/TIA 568 Wiring Standard does not support the use of coaxial cables for horizontal wiring. Network Network diameter, which is the distance between two end-stations in the same collision domain, is the primary difference between traditional Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. speed in Fast Ethernet and adherence to the EIA/TIA 568 wiring rules, the network diameter of a Fast Ethernet collision domain is limited to 205 meters;...
  • Page 15: Connectivity Rules

    The maximum length of a twisted-pair segment (that is, distance between a port in the hub to a single-address network device such as a PC, server, or LAN switch) is 100 meters. The maximum diameter in a collision domain is about 205 meters using two Class II hubs (hub stacks) and 200 meters using one Class I hub.
  • Page 16: Benefits Of Switching

    Benefits of Switching Ethernet switching technology drastically increases the total bandwidth of a LAN. It also provides configuration flexibility to local workgroups which allows the network administrator to better control how network resources are distributed against network load. Switching helps reduce the congestion problems inherent in the contention-oriented CSMA/CD protocol, thereby improving network response during high utilization periods.
  • Page 17: Product Features

    Product Features The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch has the following key features: Ports: 12 10Mbps, three 10/100Mbps. High-speed uplink port for connecting to a higher tier switch or other device. Dynamic buffer allocation to allow network load balance and prevent packet loss due to congestion.

    100Mbps. Pinouts for this connector are listed in Appendix B. LED Indicators The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch has extensive LED indicators to facilitate monitoring and troubleshooting. They include a Power LED, a System Load meter, and Status LEDs for all ports. The Status LEDs have indicators that report on Link, Duplex, Activity, Collision, and 100Mbps Operation states.
  • Page 22 System Load LED Meter This LED meter indicates the current system load (from “Low” to “High”). The meter functions to indicate that the switch is currently operating and at what level of aggregated traffic. Figure 2 LED Indicators...
  • Page 23: Rear Panel

    These indicators for Link/Act and FDX/Col work just like their counterparts for the other ports (see above). They are only lit and active when an MII transceiver is connected to the switch. 100M LEDs These indicators are green when port 1, port 2, or the MII connector are connected to a device operating at 100Mbps.
  • Page 24: Duplex Mode Switch

    Duplex Mode Switch The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch must be set to the proper duplex mode for all ports. The switch can be set to auto-detect the duplex mode for ports 1 and 2, and for the MII connector; All other ports must be set to either full or half duplex.
