SWITCH The switch performs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. ARCHITECTURE This allows wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data integrity.
DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE The switch contains 9 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. All RJ-45 ports 1000BASE-T support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, auto-negotiation and PORTS IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the optimum data rate and transmission can be selected automatically. GEPOEL2P-ESW10G supports the Small Form Factor Pluggable TRANSCEIVER (SFP) transceiver slots are port 10.

PORT AND The GEPOEL2P-ESW10G switch includes a display panel for system and port indications that simplify installation and SYSTEM STATUS network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on left LEDS hand side of the front panel for easy viewing. Details are shown below and described in the following tables.
NETWORK PLANNING INTRODUCTION A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple TO SWITCHING packets; it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. Therefore the switch has been recognized as one of the most important devices for today’s networking technology. When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the network access point such as file server, the device can be connected directly to a switched port.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH SELECTING A The Switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment SITE rack (Via Optional Rack mount Kit) or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. The site should: ◆...

Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded. Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. TO Rack-mount Devices: Step1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Mounting Accessory.
Page 18
Step2. Mount the device in the rack (Via Optional Rack-Mount kit), using four rack-mounting screws (not provided). Be sure to secure the lower rack-mounting screws first to prevent the brackets being bent by the weight of the switch. Installing the switch in a Rack Step3.
DESKTOP OR SHELF MOUNTING: Step1. Attach the four adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the first switch. Step2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow. Step3.

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS CONNECTING The switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100 or 1000Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as NETWORK to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to DEVICES remote devices using optional SFP transceivers. TWISTED-PAIR Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
Page 25
Step2. If the device is a network card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See the section “Network Wiring Connections.”) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.
FIBER OPTIC An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver can be used for a backbone connection between switches, SFP DEVICES connecting to a high-speed server. Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.

CONNECTIVITY RULES When adding hubs to your network, please note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.

CABLE LABELING AND CONNECTION RECORDS When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. This will allow user to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.
TROUBLESHOOTING Basic Most problems are caused by the following situations. Check these items first when starting your Troubleshooting troubleshooting: Tips Connecting to devices that have a fixed full- duplex configuration. The RJ-45 ports are configured as “Auto”. That is, when connecting to attach devices, the switch will operate in one of two ways to determine the link speed and the communication mode (half duplex or full duplex):...

Check the port A port on your Switch may not be operating as you expect configuration. because it has been put into a “ blocking” state by Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic trunking). (Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software.
POWER AND COOLING PROBLEMS Installation If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet.
CABLES TWISTED-PAIR For 10/100BASE-TX connections, the twisted-pair cable must CABLE AND PIN have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is ASSIGNMENTS identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes.
The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair. STRAIGHT- If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the THROUGH ports has an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through.
1000BASE-T PIN All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network ASSIGNMENTS connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts.
FIBER The International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) standardized various fiber types for data networks. These are STANDARDS summarized in the following table. Fiber Standards ITU-T Standard Description Application Multimode Fiber G.651 Short-reach connections in the 1300- nm or 850-nm band 50/125-micron core Non-Dispersion-Shifted Fiber Longer spans and extended reach.
