Preface This manual describes how to install and use the provided Fast Ethernet Switch, which features eight ports 100BASE-FX Multi-mode fiber ports, six ports 100BASE- FX plus two ports 10/100BASE-TX switching is also available for this product series. To get the most out of this manual, you should have an understanding of networking concepts such as bridging, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, and local area networks (LANs).
Chapter 1. Introduction Benefits of Switching Ethernet switching technology has dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network. It puts configuration flexibility and bandwidth adaptability into the local workgroups where the majority of work is generated. It further eliminates congestion problems inherent to the CSMA/CD protocol and improves predictable response time under heavy network loads.
Eight Ports Fiber-Optic Ethernet Switch The FNSW-8088F has eight multi-mode fiber ports. And for FNSW-8086F, it has 6-port 100BASE-FX ports and 2- port 10/100BASE-TX ports. This switch makes it possible to join a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network to an existing 10Mbps Ethernet network (FNSW-8086F).
This eight-port switch provides the following features: ♦ FNSW-8088F provide eight 100BASE-FX switching ports (ST Interface) ♦ FNSW-8086F provide two-port 10/100BASE-TX, with six-port 100BASE-FX for multiple choice of TP wiring ♦ Full-duplex support on each port (default) for up to 2Km wiring ♦...
Figure 1: Front Panel of FNSW-8086F/ FNSW-8088F Ports Ports of this switch are capable of accepting 100BASE-FX with ST interface connections. For FNSW-8086F, the two TP ports support 10/100BASE-TX with Cat. 3, 4, 5 (100Mbps) twisted pairs connection. NOVASwitch Series...

When connects to a 100BASE-TX network, the ports operate at 100Mbps in half-duplex mode and 200Mbps in full-duplex mode. When connects to a 10BASE-T network, the ports operate at 10Mbps in half-duplex mode and 20Mbps in full-duplex mode. With the fiber-optic port , when it connects to a 100BASE-FX network, the ports operate at 100Mbps in half-duplex mode and 200Mbps in full-duplex mode (default).

FDX/ COL: The lower LED is illuminated when the port is operating in full-duplex mode. When this LED is off, the port is operating in half-duplex mode. The LED flashes when the switch detects packet collisions on the port. Pow er This LED comes on when the switch is connected to a power supply and turned on.

Chapter 2. Installation This chapter presents step-by-step installation instructions for this eight-port Fiber-optic Fast Ethernet Switch. Selecting a Site for the Switch As with any electronic device, you should place the Switch where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference.
Connecting to Power Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of the switch, and then plug the cord into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 240 VAC. Turn the Ethernet switch on by flipping the ON/OFF switch on the rear of the unit to the I (ON) position.

geographically dispersed may need to connect together and become so called Wide Area Network (WAN). Ethernet Technologies More than 80 percent of all Local Area networks are installed with Ethernet. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) define the standard of Ethernet as IEEE 802.3.

effective and high-performance networking solutions of the future. The Fast Ethernet contains three different cabling schemes. 100Base-TX for use with category 5 UPT/STP cable, 100Base-FX for use with Multi-mode fiber-optic cable, and 100Base-T4 for use with cable 3,4,or 5 UPT cable.

Sw itches The function of a switch is to connect separate networks together. A Switch maps the Ethernet addresses of the nodes residing on each network segment and then allows only the necessary traffic to pass through. When a packet is received by the switch, the switch determines the destination and source segments of a packet and forward it to the right direction or drop it if the destination and the...
