This guide discusses how to install your 16-port 10/100Mbps NWay Fast Ethernet Switch. Terms/Usage In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) refers to your 16-port 10/100M NWay Fast Ethernet Switch, and ” switch” (first letter lower case) refers to other Ethernet switches.
Fast Ethernet solutions in the years to come. 100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol.
For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating problems of uplinking Fast Ethernet 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 Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit.
As all ports support 200Mbps, the Switch can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches. The Switch is a perfect choice for 10Mbps network site that could be upgraded to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switch now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without changing the Switch or reconfiguring the network.

? ? Uplink/MDI-II (media dependent interface) port for uplink to another switch or hub. ? ? Store and forward switching scheme. As the result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments.
? ? Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic source, vibration, dust, and direct sunlight. ? ? Leave at least 10cm of space at the left and right hand side of the Switch for ventilation.
? ? Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or on a 19” EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, please see the next section, Rack Mounting. ? ? When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet on the corners at the bottom of the Switch.
2. The port 16 and the 100BASE-FX port is really the same port. Do not connect both Port 16 and the 100BASE-FX port at the same time. 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.
MDI-X ports, you need to use crossover cables, or connect using the Uplink port (described below). Uplink Ports The Uplink port is a MDI-II port, which means you can connect this port to another device’s MDI-X port using an ordinary straight- through twisted-pair cable.
Port 8 and the Uplink port is really the same port, except that their pin-outs are different. Do not use both Port 8 and the Uplink port at the same time. Rear Panel AC power connector Trunking setting DIP switch...
LED Indicators Power (Power Indicator) This indicator lights green when the hub is receiving power. This LED is off indicating no power. FX (100BASE-FX Module Indicator (green)) This LED lights green indicating a good link to the installed fiber module. It remains off when the module is not present.

0 Port 8, 15 & 16 (600Mbps) 1 Port 7, 8, 15 & 16 (800Mbps) You can select to trunk two Switches using 2, 3, or 4 ports with Trunk Group A or B. Please follow the instructions below to set the trunking dipswitches: Note: You can only trunk same model Switches together.
Page 21
Connect the trunk ports together using crossover CAT5 UTP/STP cables. Power on the Switches. Below are some trunking examples.

The priority can be checked via layer 2 (IEEE802.1Q VLAN Tagging) and/or layer 3 (IP Header TOS bits). Port-Based Priority is also provided for user to set traffic prioritization according to the port number. Port based priority ensures transmission with precedence for...

Note: Please power off the Switch before setting the QoS dipswitches. Port-Based QoS: There are eight ports on this Switch that can be set for Port-Based QoS. The QoS DIP Switches 1~8 represent port number 3~6 and 11~14. After setting the selected port’s DIP Switch to “Enable”, all incoming packets to these ports will be handled with priority.
Ethernet network. PC to Switch A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cables. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any of the 16 ports (1x - 16x) Note: Use CAT5 (or better) cable for 100Mbps connection.
Hub to Switch A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cables. Note: Use CAT5 (or better) cable for 100Mbps connection. The connection is accomplished from the hub’s uplink (MDI-II) port to any of the...
A. Using straight cable When using straight cable, this is done from the Switch’s uplink (MDI-II) port (Switch A) to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other device. B. Using crossover cable...
Port S peed & Duplex Mode After a connection is made between the Switch and another Ethernet device, the system uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode for this 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 set the duplex mode to half-duplex.
The following diagram and tables show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/connector and their pin assignments for the switch-to- network adapter card connection, and the straight / crossover cable for the Switch-to-switch / hub / bridge connection. RJ-45 Connector pin assignment...
