To meet the demands of these more powerful applica- tions, the switch has been developed to alleviate congestion and im- prove performance on your Ethernet network. The switch comes with...
1.1 Features Designed for resolving congestion problems caused by bandwidth-hun- gry devices and bandwidth-intensive applications as well as a high num- ber of users, the switch not only adheres to the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T standard, but also features: •...
Installation guide 2.2 Mounting the Switch The switch can be placed on a desktop as a stand-alone unit. When in- stalling the switch on a desktop you need to attach the rubber feet at each corner of the unit. The rubber feet are included in the product pack- age.
Rack Mounting For mounting the switch into a 19-inch rack, a pair of mount brackets is included in the pack. Figure 2-2 Install Rack Mount Brackets Install the switch into a 19-inch rack as illustrated in the following fig- ure:...
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX device (hub or node). • Crossover switches for Port #8 and Port #9 Each crossover switch is provided for configuring the pin assign- ments of the associated RJ-45 connector. • One expansion port slot (Port #10) The port slot can accommodate one optional port module.
• Configuration switches Two configuration switch groups are located on the rear of the switch unit. The switches are used for configuring the operation settings for all ports. The settings include mode, speed, and duplex. 2.4 Installing an Optional Port Module...
Figure 2-6 100BASE-FX Port Module Before installing any optional modules, first turn the power to the switch off. To install a module into the expansion port slot, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the power switch. 2. Remove the cover of the slot.
Port #9 and Port #10 can be configured as NWay auto-negotition ports if the M switch is set to OFF position. This setting applies to both ports at the same time. The auto-negotiation mode enables the port to negotiate a common op- eration mode with the device connected at the remote end of the link cable.

Port #9 and Port #10 are at auto-negotiation mode. Important Note: As long as any change on the settings of the switch groups is made, you must turn the power to the switch unit off and turn it on again to make the change take effect. Connecting to...
3. Making Network Connections 3.1 Network Switched Ports There are ten ports on the switch for connection to ten LAN segments. Each segment is an independent shared network in one collision-do- main. Port #1 to Port #8 are 10Mbps-based 10BASE-T switched ports and dedicated for connecting to eight separate 10Mbps Ethernet segments through individual 10BASE-T connections.
10BASE-T hub port (I type) 10BASE-T switched port (I type) Port #8 has a configurable RJ-45 connector and its pin assignments are determined according to the setting of the crossover switch next to the RJ- 45 connector as follows: Cable used Cat.
The following table lists the devices to which Port #8 can connect : Device connected Computer 10BASE-T port 10BASE-T hub port (I type) 10BASE-T hub port (X type) 10BASE-T switched port (I type) 10BASE-T switched port (X type) Straight UTP Cable The cable is 2-pair Category 3 or 5 UTP and maximum length is 100 meters.
This section applies to the 10/100BASE-TX Port #9 and expansion slot Port #10 pre-configured with a 10/100BASE-TX port module. Use the crossover switch to set the type of RJ-45 connector as follows: The following table lists the devices to which the ports can connect:...
3.4 100BASE-FX Module The 100BASE-FX port module supports a connection to a Fast Ethernet network segment through a fiber optic connection. The module comes with two ST connectors. One labeled Tx is used for transmission. The other one labeled Rx is used for reception. Figure 3-3 100BASE-FX Port Module When connecting to a 100BASE-FX device using fiber cable, make sure the Tx connector of the module is connected to the Rx connector of the...
Figure 4-1 LED Indicators 4.2 Interpretation One Power LED indicates the status of the power supplied to the switch. Each port has two LEDs to indicate the port status including cable link, partition state, activity, collision, and duplex mode. Every port has iden- tical interpretations for the LED display.
