  • Page 9: Store-And-Forward Architecture Against Packet Loss

    This drawback in transmission can happen either when data being transmitted in IEEE802.3x Full Duplex or Back Pressure Flow Control mode. To amend this problem, Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch utilizes a fixed memory buffer allocation with Store-and-forward transmission to ensure an effective buffer allocation for each port.

  • Page 10: What Is Priority Queuing

    If you have any plans to implement network telephony or any sort of video conferencing, streaming video/audio or any real-time applications on your network you will need Live-FSH16T for priority queuing. The benefit of priority queuing is that it can dramatically improve the quality of priority services on the network. If priority queuing is not implemented then the quality of these services will depend entirely on the load on your network.

  • Page 15: Installation Of The Switch

    Installation of the Switch Quick Installation Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch is compliant to both 10BASE-T Ethernet and 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet standards. It also provides an Uplink port to extend your switch-to-switch cabling distance to 100 meters. Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch is primarily targeted as an ideal solution to enhance your workgroup performance in an Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network.

  • Page 16: Installation Site Preparation

    Installation Site Preparation You can mount Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch either on a table or on wall. If you plan to mount the switch on the table, please choose a steady, level surface in a well-ventilated area that is free from excessive dust. In any case, the installation site chosen for your switch has to comply with the following requirements: The surface to mount the switch must be able to sustain the weight of the switch.

  • Page 21: Expanding Your Network

    Expanding Your Network Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch is primarily targeted not only as a concentrator to converge workgroup traffic within Ethernet/Fast Ethernet; but also as a central switching device to send incoming data to its destination LAN segment. With your existing Ethernet/Fast Ethernet infrastructure, you can very easily connect, expand or migrate to workgroup computing in an Ethernet/Fast Ethernet environment.

  • Page 22: Hub-To-Switch Connection

    Switch-to-switch Connection Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch can be connected to another switch or other device such as a router or bridge by a two-pair UTP / STP Straight or Crossover cable (Category 3, 4, 5).

    Using a Crossover Cable When connecting any 10/100 Mbps station port (MDI-X) of other switch or device with any station port (MDI-X) of Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch, it is required that you use a crossover cable. Fig. 4-2 Connection through Station Port using crossover cable...

  • Page 24: Summary

    When connecting a computer to a switch, use a straight UTP cable. When connecting Live-FSH16T to any station port (MDI-X) of another hub via its Uplink port (MDI-II), use a straight-through UTP cable. Please note that the cabling distance is 100 meters maximum.

  • Page 25: Using Priority Ports

    If you regularly use video/multimedia application on your LAN, you can maximize on the Priority Queuing function the Live-FSH16T. Specifically, the priority ports are port 5, 6, 7 and 8 and they are built-in and without the need of any configuration. Using these priority ports can ensure high priority traffic gets delivered efficiently, even when during bursts of high traffic load.

  • Page 26: Easy Migration To Workgroup Computing

    Often challenged with a heavy traffic load generated by workgroup applications, you need a device such as Live-FSH16T to act as a concentrator and central switching device to take care of the traffic flow. With its 16-port capacity, it can adopt as many end stations and servers or even connect to other network devices.
