Page 3: About This Guide
100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities into one high-performance, easy-to-use solution. Purpose This manual will familiarize you with the DSS-8+ Switch and guide you through the installation process. Conventions For simplicity, this documentation uses the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) to refer to the DSS-8+ Ethernet Switch, and “switch”... -

LAN. If an Ethernet network begins to display symptoms of congestion, low throughput, slow response times, and high rates of collision, installing a switch to a network can preserve much or all of the existing network's cabling and workstation interface card infrastructure, while still greatly enhancing the throughput for users. - Page 5 For Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating the problem 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 Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE- TX networks.

The DSS-8+ is scalable, allowing two or more DSS-8+s to be cascaded together. Since all ports support 200Mbps, any one of its eight ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to open a Full-Duplex Fast Ethernet pipe. - Page 7 Auto-MDI/MDI-X. Detects the type of cable you are using, Crossover or Straight-Through, and automatically adjusts per port, allowing you to also use any port as an uplink port—the choice is yours. No more worries about whether you are using the right cable type or not. Auto MDI/MDI-X cable-type detection gives you true ‘plug and play’...

Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter. Do not cover the ventilation holes on the sides of the Switch, and make sure there is adequate ventilation around it. Do not place heavy objects on the switch. -

Full-Duplex/Collision Indicator (Full Duplex/Collision) This green indicator light is on when the port is in full-duplex (FDX) mode. Otherwise, it blinks as collisions occur on any port of the Switch. 100Mbps Link/Activity, 10Mbps Link/Activity Indicator (100 Link/Act (green), 10 Link/Act (amber)) This LED indicator light is green when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station. -

(Crossover or Straight-Through). The Auto MDI/MDI-X function makes it simple to connect to the Switch using either a Crossover or Straight-Through CAT5 cable into any port—the choice is yours. DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external DC power adapter. -
Page 11: Connecting The Switch
DSS-8+. DSS-8+ to other devices The DSS-8+ can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable. A Category 5 cable must be used for 100Mbps operation. -
Page 12: Port Speed & Duplex Mode
Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode, auto- detecting the network speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps) for any new twisted-pair connection. If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto-sensing process is initiated to select the speed and half-duplex mode is selected. -
Page 13: Mounting The Switch On A Wall
WITCH ON A The DSS-8+ can also be mounted on a wall. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom of the switch for this purpose. Please make sure that the front panel is exposed in order to view the LEDs. -
