Page 7: Introduction
NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. -
Page 8: Switching Technology
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridge Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. -
Page 9: Features
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. - Page 10 upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switches now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the network. The Switches combine dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss.
- Page 11 is only available in half duplex mode. Data forwarding rate per port is at wire-speed for 100Mbps speed. Data forwarding rate per port is at wire-speed for 10Mbps speed. Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per port at wire-speed for 100Mbps speed. Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per port at wire-speed for 10Mbps speed.

Page 12: Unpacking And Installation
Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton should contain the following items: LevelOne FSW-1609/2409TFX 16/24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch One AC power cord, suitable for your area’s electrical power connections Four rubber feet to be used for shock cushioning... -
Page 13: Installation
Installation The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers: Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Appendix B for the acceptable 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. -

100Base-FX Module Installation The installation procedure for each module is the same. Additional information about each module is provided below. To install any of the modules: (Includes SC or ST type connectors) 1. Locate the module slot in the switch’s rear panel. 2. -
Page 15: Rack Mounting
We recommend that you retain the dust cover in case you need to remove the module for an extended period sometime in the future. In FSW-1609/2409TFX, the last port (Port 16/24) and the 100BASE-FX port is really the same port. Do not use both Port 16/24 and the 100BASE-FX port at the same time. - Page 16 Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.

Page 20: Connecting The Switch
ONNECTING WITCH This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast Ethernet network. PC to Switch A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ- 45 10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any of the 16 ports (1x - 16x) for the 16-Port model, 24 ports (1x - 24x) for the 24-Port model. -
Page 21: Hub To Switch
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 cable. connection is accomplished from the hub uplink (MDI-II) port to any port of the Switch (MDI-X) ports. A. -
Page 22: Switch To Switch (Other Devices)
Switch to Switch (other devices) The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover cable. A. Using straight cable When using straight cable, this is done from the uplink (MDI-II) port of other Switch to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (AUTO MDI-X) port of FSW-1609/2409TFX. -
Page 23: Port Speed & Duplex Mode
Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode for any new 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. -
