  • Page 11: Chapter 1 Overview

    Chapter 1 Overview The AT-FS709FC Series device is an unmanaged, Layer 2 Fast Ethernet switch. The switch can be used in a variety of network configurations and topologies. You can use the switch to create small workgroups with dedicated 10/100 Mbps links to your network devices, such as your workstations, servers, printers, and routers.
  • Page 12 The AT-FS709FC Series Fast Ethernet Switch is easy to install and requires no software management. The AT-FS709FC Series Fast Ethernet Switch is available with a variety of fiber optic connectors. For a complete list of the available models, contact your Allied Telesyn sales representative.

  • Page 13: 10/100 Mbps Twisted Pair Ports

    AT-FS709FC Series Installation Guide 10/100 Mbps Twisted Pair Ports The twisted pair ports on the switch are labelled 1X through 7X, 8MDI-X and 8MDI. The features of the twisted pair ports are explained in the following sections. Type of Connector The twisted pair ports have RJ-45 connectors.

  • Page 14: Maximum Distance

    Maximum Distance The maximum distance of a twisted pair cable is 100 meters (328 feet). Cable lengths that exceed this limit can result in poor or erratic network performance. Ports 1X to 7X — MDI-X Configuration An RJ-45 twisted pair port on a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet network device can be wired as either MDI or MDI-X.

  • Page 15: 100 Mbps Fiber Optic Port

    100 Mbps Fiber Optic Port The AT-FS709FC Series switch features one fiber optic port. You can use the fiber optic port to connect the switch to another switch or other end node over large distances. Type of Connector The AT-FS709FC Series switches come with a variety of fiber optic connectors.

  • Page 16: Maximum Distance

    Maximum Distance The maximum operating distance of the fiber optic port on the AT-FS709FC Series Ethernet switch is 2 kilometers (1.25 miles). Cable lengths that exceed this limit can result in poor or erratic network performance. Note The fiber optic port on the network device that you intend to connect to the AT-FS709FC Series Ethernet switch must have the same operating characteristics as the fiber optic port on the switch.

  • Page 17: Introduction To Ethernet Switching

    AT-FS709FC Series Installation Guide Introduction to Ethernet Switching An Ethernet switch is designed to manage the flow of data between the various devices that are connected to its ports. MAC Address Table The heart of an Ethernet switch is the Media Access Control (MAC) address table.

  • Page 18: Store And Forward

    The MAC address table in the AT-FS709FC Series Ethernet switch can store up to 4,000 MAC addresses. To prevent the table from becoming filled with addresses of end nodes that are no longer active, the switch has a MAC address aging timer. This timer will delete a MAC address from the table if it does not see a frame from the end node with that address on any port after five minutes (300 seconds).

  • Page 19: Flow Control

    AT-FS709FC Series Installation Guide Flow Control In order for an Ethernet switch to maintain the orderly movement of data between the end nodes that are connected to its ports, it will occasionally need to signal an end node to stop sending data. This can occur under several situations.

  • Page 20: System Leds

    System LEDs The switch has a series of LEDs that you can use to determine the operating status of the system and the ports. The LEDs are described in Table 1. Color POWER Steady Green LINK/ACT Steady Green Blinking Green 100M Steady Green Steady Green...

  • Page 21: Network Topologies

    Network Topologies AT-FS709FC Series Ethernet switch supports a variety of network topologies. The first topology shown in Figure 3 is of a power workgroup. Each end node is connected directly to a port on an AT-FS709FC switch, giving each node a dedicated 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps link.
  • Page 22 In the topology illustrated in Figure 4, an AT-FS709FC is used to connect together eight 10/100 Mbps Ethernet hubs. This type of topology is often referred to as a collapsed backbone topology. The switch functions as the focal point for all workgroup hubs in your network, acting as a bridge between the different workgroups.
  • Page 23 If you need to connect together multiple AT-FS709FC Series switches, you might again consider constructing a collapsed backbone topology. But rather than using an AT-FS709FC switch as the backbone switch, you could use a Fast Ethernet switch that has multiple fiber optic ports and connect the AT-FS709FC Series switches using the fiber optic ports.

  • Page 25: Installing The Switch

    Chapter 2 Installing the Switch This chapter contains the installation instructions for the AT-FS709FC Ethernet switch. Reviewing Safety Guidelines Please review the following safety guidelines before you begin to install the Ethernet switch. Warning Class 1 laser product. Warning Do not stare into the laser beam. Warning Electric Shock Hazard: To prevent electric shock, do not remove the cover.

  • Page 26: Verifying The Package Contents

  • Page 27: Selecting A Site For The Switch

    Selecting a Site for the Switch Be sure to observe the following requirements when choosing a site for your switch: Make sure that the switch’s power is accessible and cables can be easily connected. Air flow around the switch and through its vents on the side and rear must not be restricted.

  • Page 28: Installing The Switch

    Installing the Switch You can install the switch on a table or in a 19-inch rack. To install the switch, perform the following procedure: Remove all components from the shipping package and store the packaging material in a safe location. Note You should use the original packaging material if, for any reason, you need to return the unit to Allied Telesyn International.
  • Page 29 Power ON the switch by connecting the power cord to the AC power connector on the back panel of the switch and by connecting the power cord to an appropriate AC power source. The PWR LED on the switch’s front panel should be ON. If the LED remains OFF, refer to “Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation”...

  • Page 30: Verifying And Troubleshooting The Installation

    Power ON the end nodes connected to the ports on the switch. Check the LINK/ACT LED for each port. The LED should be steady green or blinking. If a LINK/ACT LED remains OFF, refer to the next section, “Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation”, for assistance. Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation This section contains information on how to verify the installation of the switch and how to troubleshoot the unit in the event a problem occurs.

  • Page 31: Warranty Registration

    Make sure that the cable connected to the fiber optic receiver port on the switch is connected to the transmitter port on the remote end node and that the fiber optic transmitter port on the switch is connected to the receiver port on the end node. Test the attenuation on the fiber cable to ensure that it does not exceed acceptable values.
