    Chapter 3, Identifying External Components. Describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch. Chapter 4, Connecting the Switch. Tells how you can connect the Switch to your Ethernet network. Appendix A, Technical Specifications. Lists the technical (general, physical and environmental, and performance) specifications of the Switch.
  • 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

    For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating problems of chaining hubs beyond the “two- repeater limit.” A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making it possible to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks.
  • 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.

    Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One the LevelOne FSW-1610/2410TFX 16/24Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch One AC power cord, suitable for your area’s electrical power connections...
  • Page 12: Installation

    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.
  • Page 13: Rack Mounting

    Rack Mounting The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. A ttach the mounting brackets at the switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.
  • Page 14 Identifying External Components This section identifies all the major external components of the switch. Both the front and rear panels are shown, followed by a description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter.
