UL Warning a) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature- If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).

This guide discusses how to install your 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch. Terms/Usage In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) refers to your 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch, and “switch” (first letter lower case) refers to other Ethernet...
N T R O D U C T I O N This chapter describes the features of the 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity...
Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local area network into different segments, which don’t compete with each other for network transmission capacity.

VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast domains, thus eliminating the need of expensive routers. Port-based (or port-group) VLAN is the common method of implementing a VLAN, and is the one supplied in the Switch. Each Switch port can belong from one to seventeen VLANs.

N S T A L L A T I O N This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch One AC power cord, suitable for your area’s...
Installation The site where you install the Switch stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers: Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications temperature and humidity operating ranges. Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
Rack Mounting The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the switch’s side panels (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.
AC Power The Switch requires AC power supply of 100~240V AC, 50~60 Hz. The Switch does not come with a Power ON/OFF switch, so the Switch will automatically power on when it is connected to an electrical outlet. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on without having any LAN segment cables connected.
Console Port An RS-232 DCE console port is used to setup and manage the Switch via a connection to a console terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program (e.g. Windows HyperTerminal). O M P O N E N T S...

: When the LED light is off, the fiber port is in half-duplex mode. ONFIGURATION This Switch is a “smart” Switch. The programmable administration parameters allow the Switch to operate more effectively than unmanaged (dumb) switches. This chapter will describe how to configure the Switch.
The Switch can be configured through the serial port. A network administrator can manage, control and monitor the Switch using the console program. This section indicates how to configure the Switch to enable its smart functions including: Setup The two options in the Setup screen are Port Configuration and VLAN.
[Space Bar]: Change selection. Available when the field has multiple selections. Login Execute the terminal emulation program on the remote workstation, connect the serial cable, and turn on the Switch. The login screen will ask you to input a password to login. Password: admin (default password)
Figure 10. Login Move the cursor to highlight Password, input the default password admin and hit Enter, the cursor will then moves to login, hit Enter again to login. Main Menu After login the console, the main menu appears (see Figure 11). You can see the available console command keys in the lower portion of the screen.
Figure 11. Main Menu Configuring Setup Settings There are Port Configuration and VLAN settings in Setup menu (see Figure 12). Figure 12. Setup Menu Port Configuration In Port Configuration menu (Figure 13), you can configure each port’s (port 17 is reserved for optional Fiber Port) Speed, Flow...

Control, and QoS. Link Status is determined by the Switch and can’t be changed. This screen displays Port 01 ~ 12 status, for port 13 ~ 17, please select Next. After completing the setup, move cursor to Save and hit Enter to save the settings.

Note: IEEE 802.1p Priority Tag supersedes the Port-Based Priority setting. For example, if Port 1 is set to low priority, but the packet coming in this port has high priority tag, the Switch will consider the packet as high priority packet.

(4) Link Status Link Status displays each port’s link status. If the port’s connection is valid, it will show the connection speed (10 or 100) and duplex mode (half or full). The status displays Down if the port is not connected. VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) In VLAN settings, you can group a number of ports into individual “virtual”...

For example, there are five computers (PC1~PC5) connected to the Switch’s port 1~5. The 5 PCs are divided into two VLAN groups, VLAN1 (PC1 ~ PC4) and VLAN2 (PC2 ~ PC5). In this setup, PC1 could not communicate with PC5, because they are not in the same VLAN group.
Note: Configuring VLAN can be very confusing. If your VLAN settings do not perform the way they should, you can reset the Switch back to its default state by going to “System” menu and select “Factory Reset”. Configuring System Setting...
Figure 17. System Setting Configuring File Setting You can upload (save) or download (restore) Switch’s configuration file in the File menu screen (Figure 18). Figure 18. File installation Upload Configuration: Select this for saving the current configuration to a file at a desired location (e.g. floppy disk or hard drive).

After saving the file, the cursor will move to “Exit”, hit “Enter” to go back to “File” menu. Download Configuration: Select this for loading the previously saved configuration back to the Switch. Move cursor to “Download Configuration” and hit “Enter”.
