Page 7: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the needs for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies are proposed or available to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. -
Page 8: Switching Technology
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of the Switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. -
Page 9: 10/100 Switching Technology
10/100 Switching technology 10/100 Switching is an integral extension of Fast Ethernet. It provides not only the 100Mbps high-speed “pipe-line” for carrying aggregated 10Mbps traffic, but also the necessary bridging between the 10Base-T and 100Base-T MAC formats. Combining Fast Ethernet and Switching technologies, they provide bandwidth to satisfy the demand of local workgroups. -
Page 10: Overview Of The Te-100/S14 Ethernet Switch
Overview of the TE-100/S14 Ethernet Switch The TRENDnet TE-100/S14 Ethernet Switch supports: • One 100Mbps Fast Ethernet (100Base-TX) port and four 10Mbps Ethernet (10Base-T) ports, with each port supporting dedicated full duplex LAN segments. -
Page 11: Chapter 2 Installation
A single or a stacked 100Mbps hub is counted as one repeater. A switch or a 10Base-T hub is not counted as a repeater, and is treated as an end-station when applying the topology rules. - Page 12 TE- 100/S14 Switch in a 100Base-TX cabling network. As required by the 100Base-TX, the TE-100/S14 Switch expects a 2-pair, data grade (EIA 568, Category 5) UTP or STP cabling system connecting to its 100 Mbps port.
- Page 13 Careful planning and site preparation is the key to success for installing Fast Ethernet switches. Users should perform a network bandwidth analysis based on their workgroup network traffic needs, and to examine their workstation equipment for other performance bottlenecks.

Now you have a good understanding of the cabling rules, your own cabling environment, and the expected network load on your workgroups. You are ready to integrate your TE-100/S14 Switch with your network. The following sections delineate the steps to setup, connect and integrate your newly acquired TE-100/S14 Switch into your network. -
Page 15: Operational Function Description
OWER ON The TE-100/S14 Switch can be used with AC power sources 90 - 250 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz. The Switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically. You may turn ON the power of the TE-100/S14 Switch without having any or all the LAN segment cables connected. -
Page 16: Mounting

UTP cable connectors with the RJ-45 pin layout. If a cable is used for connecting to a hub, bridge, or another switch, the Transmit (TD) and the Receive (RD) leads on one end of the connectors must be swapped. Please refer to Appendix D for pin layout details. -
Page 19: Chapter 3 Configuring The Switch
The TE-100/S14 Switch is set up to operate in either an un- managed or managed network environment. In a simple network hierarchy, the Spanning Tree Algorithm may be turned off. -
Page 20: Rs-232 Port Connection
RS-232 Port Connection The TE-100/S14 Switch uses a female 9-pin RS-232 serial communication port for connection to a local management terminal. The RS-232 port is a DCE (Data Communication Equipment). 3 -1 Figure Chapter shows the cable connection to a DTE (Data... - Page 21 A user can also select Full / Half duplex support to maximize the through-put of the LAN segments. If the Switch is set to Full duplex, all ports will operate in Full duplex mode. No Full / Half duplex selection is available at the individual port level.

Port Management The ports on the TE-100/S14 Switch can be managed through the 3 -2 Out-of-Band RS-232 port. In Table Chapter , page 23, Port Configuration allows a user to enable or disable a port connecting to a LAN segment. -
Page 25: Spanning Tree Algorithm
The detailed Algorithm is defined in the STA Specification. The following introduces the key information and terminology needed to interpret the parameters used in the TE-100/S14 Switch that support the STA. It is also helpful to understand the effects of changing these parameters. - Page 26 1. At the Bridge level: Root Bridge: A network must first establish a reference Bridge, from which all data forwarding path values are calculated, compared, and determined. The Root Bridge has the lowest Bridge Identifier (Bridge Priority + MAC address). Bridge Priority: This is a user changeable parameter.
- Page 27 Bridge to determine the Root Port of a Bridge. Path Cost: This parameter is fixed the TE-100/S14 Switch, in order to ensure that the Fast Ethernet LAN segment will always be used. The 100Mbps segment has an assigned Path Cost of 10, and each 10Mbps segment has assigned Path Cost of 100, based on the STA Specification.
- Page 28 (LAN 1), and Port 2 connecting to a 10Base-T segment (LAN 2). Port 3 is not connected to any LAN segment. One may consider Bridge 1 as the TE-100/S14 Switch, with one port connecting to a Fast Ethernet LAN segment, and only one of the four ports connecting to a Ethernet segment.

Page 31: Chapter 4 Network Management
The Out-of-Band Management facility enables a user to examine the status of the Switch and the LAN ports as the Switch interacts with other Bridges in the network. STA is a complex subject. Therefore, it is best to keep the default settings as set in the factory. - Page 32 If the possibility of network loop exists, just leave the STA enabled along with other Bridges in the network. The TE- 100/S14 Switch will interact with other Bridges to dynamically establish forwarding paths in the network. Bridge level Settings parameters...
