Page 3: Introduction
The ProSwitch-Xtreme’s chassis houses one main PC board. The front side of the chassis has six RJ45 twisted-pair ports and two 100Mbps full-duplex fiber ports (one on each side of the RJ45 ports). The fiber ports operate in full-duplex mode only to provide higher bandwidth and longer distances on fiber. -
Page 4: Fiber Port, Sc Connectors
The latency (the time the frame spends in the switch before it is sent along or forwarded to its destination) of the ProSwitch-Xtreme varies with the port-speed types, and the length of the frame is a variable, as it is with all store- and-forward switches. -
Page 5: Applications
Example 1. Traffic Control Sites In this example, a ProSwitch-Xtreme serves roadside real time traffic data collection and transmits it to a remote control station over fiber. Since multiple traffic control sites are a long distance apart, they are all connected in series to each other and to the central station. -
Page 6: Specifications
Cooling method: Convection, with case operating as a heat sink. Note: Internal steel plates conduct heat from the electronic elements inside to the ProSwitch-Xtreme steel case, which acts as a heat sink. Internal chip temperatures are only about 10°C above case ambient during... -
Page 7: Installation
Location of Xtreme 10/100Mbps Switch 5.2.1 Tabletop or Shelf Mounting The ProSwitch-Xtreme Ethernet switch can be easily mounted on a tabletop, shelf or any suitable horizontal surface, but has to be securely mounted through appropriate screws. 5.2.2 Wall (or vertical surface) Mounting The ProSwitch-Xtreme switch is quite heavy because of its 18-gauge high-strength steel case enclosure. -
Page 8: Connecting Twisted Pairs
4. Connect the Transmit (TX) port on the ProSwitch-Xtreme fiber port to the Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-coded strand of the cable for this first TX-to-RX connection. Note – the two male square-end SC cable strands may be fastened together to plug as a unit. -
Page 9: Connections To Nics, Supporting Auto-Negotiation, Rj45 Ports
Auto-Negotiation, and the Fast Link Pulse (FLP) coding for the 100BASE-TX signaling system. When connecting a NIC to a ProSwitch-Xtreme, it may be necessary to reload the NIC drivers on the user device if the NIC has been communicating with a protocol other than 100BASE-TX (such as 10BASE-T). When 100Mbps speed is agreed and in use, the 10/100 LED is steady ON. -
Page 10: Operation
When an RJ45 cable connection is made, and each time a LINK is enabled, auto-negotiation takes place. The ProSwitch-Xtreme advertises its capability for 10 or 100 Mbps speed, and the device at the other end of the cable should similarly advertise/respond and both sides will agree to the speed being used. Depending upon the device connected, this will result in agreement to operate at either 10Mbps or 100Mbps speed. -
