100Base-TX Auto-negotiation capability and MDI/MDI-X auto crossover. All ports in this switch support Full-Duplex and Half-Duplex operation modes. Addressing the demand for fiber, the switch (SS0224/SE0224) provides two optional multi-mode or single-mode fiber module supporting SC, ST, MT-RJ, or VF-45 connector. Hence, the switch can provide maximum 26 ports simultaneously, i.e.

3. Configuration (SS0224 only) This section explains the configuration of smart switch, SS0224. For each 10/ 100Base- T/TX port, basic setting include port speed, duplex mode, flow control, auto-negotiation, etc. Other enhanced features configuration include port-based VLAN, port-based trunking, QoS, and port mirroring. 3.1.
Page 16
Turn on the power of SS0224 after Hyper Terminal utility is set. If the communication is successful, user should see the main menu of console program on the screen as below: Parameters in this screen are described in the following table. Field Description Port...
Under this main menu of the console program, user can monitor 12 RJ-45 ports' brief status at the same page, i.e. port 1~port 12. Press [Enter] to toggle to monitor the other 12 ports, i.e. port 13~port 24. See the following figure: 3.2.
3.3. Basic port-based configuration The basic configurations provided here only apply to 24 RJ-45 ports. They includes the following feature:

%! This feature is only used when the port's auto-negotiation function is disabled. User can force to change specific port's data rate to 10Mbps or 100Mbps.Press [R] from the main menu to enter this setting.
Page 21
& '( ! & '( ! & '( ! & '( ! Like the case in data rate setting, duplex mode setting is only changed when the corresponding port's auto-negotiation function is disabled. Press [D] from the main menu to enter this setting. For example: to set port 4 to half duplex mode, refer to the following figure.
3.4. Port mirroring setting SS0224 support port mirroring function, which allows any port's ingress and/ or egress traffic to be mirrored to a pre-defined capture port. Several flexible rules can be applied to mirroring: First, for each mirror port, user can choose to mirror ingress or egress traffic or both.
Page 23
For examples: Set port 1 as capture port and mirror both ingress and egress frames of port 2. Refer to the following two figures:

[S] to select source address as matched target. 3. Press [M] and enter MAC address "010203040506" 4. Press [V] to enter divider value "0x0064". Refer to the following figure: R: Reset all mirror Configure. User can use this function to disable all mirror configuration.
3.5. VLAN settings Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN) enables efficient traffic separation, provides better bandwidth utilization, and alleviates scaling issues by logically segmenting the physical LAN so that packets are switched only between ports within the same VLAN. This also creates secure segments within the existing network. Nodes residing in different VLAN segments cannot communicate with each other although they are connected to the same switch.
Page 27
Select (Y)es to reset VLAN group. At this time, no ports belong to any VLAN groups and therefore user should note that traffic between ports is disabled. In a word, the switch is disabled. After making decision about reset VLAN, user can set the VLAN groups or toggle between VLAN pages, i.e. page1~4, to check all 24 VLAN groups' status.
3.6 QoS settings SS0224 can support port-based QoS, 802.1p compliant QoS frame. Basically, SS0224 will classify the traffic with two levels of priority, i.e. "high" or "low" priority. High priority packet streams experience less delay inside the switch, which supports certain delay-sensitive traffic, such as real-time video or VoIP streams.
Page 29
Change weight value to "a"(10), then screen will be like below figure: After press "SPACE" to return to QoS submenu, user can set the weight value for low priority by the same policy. 2. TCI THRESHOLD. Use can change the threshold for 802.1p frame. Allowable threshold value range is 0~7.
Page 30
3. Port Based Qos. In this item, user can set decided port as high or low priority port. To set Port 1 as high priority port, do the following steps: Press [P] to enter this item and press [P] to set port. Then select port 1 to set it as high priority by press [H].
Page 31
Then the user can see from the below figure that port 1 has already been set as high priority: After above steps, all packets received by port 1 will be treat as high priority packets if QoS feature is enabled.

3.7 Trunking SS0224 provides port-based trunking function. The switch can support up to 12 different trunking groups. The members of each group can range from 2 to 8 and the only limitation is each trunk group can only include ports from the same chip.
Page 33
Press [T] to enter trunking submenu and select chip 0. Choose enable trunking to enter trunking group and members selection. Refer to the following: Each time when user enables certain chip's trunking function, further set-up menu will show up; otherwise, the system keeps in stand-by status and waits for user to select specific chip or to exit menu.
Page 34
Following the same policy, user can set port 15 as Trunk group 5's members. And the status should be like the following figure: 3. Set Forwarding Table. For all ports except trunking ports, they have to assign one forwarding table. The forwarding table is used to indicate which specific port in the trunk group will actually be assigned to take the traffic loading to this trunk.

Choose port 1 and set its traffic to one of trunk group 5's member, e.g. port Refer to the following:
