This chapter introduces the Asanté FriendlyNet Fast Ethernet FS4000E Series 10/100Mbps Switches. It also provides an overview of Fast Ethernet and switching technology. FriendlyNet Fast Ethernet Switch Thank you for purchasing an Asanté FriendlyNet FS4000E Series Switch. The FriendlyNet FS4000E products are unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet switches. These switches are designed to address increasing network bandwidth needs and to accommodate future network expansion.
The FriendlyNet FS4000E Series Switches have the following features: Compact size — designed for small to large workgroups in space- limited areas; installs on desktop or wall (FS4002E/FS4004E/ FS4008E, optional wall-mount kit for the FS4016E), or installs in a standard 19-inch equipment rack (FS4008E/FS4016E).
100Mbps, 14,880pps at 10Mbps for 64-byte packets Data filtering at 100% of wire-speed 8K active MAC address entry table per device (self-learning) 4 to 8MB (FS4008E/FS4016E) or 1 to 2MB (FS4002E/FS4004E) packet buffer per device (dynamically allocated for each port) Fast Ethernet and Switching Technology This section provides a brief overview of Fast Ethernet switching technology.
Introduction Switching Technology An Ethernet switch is a device that can direct network traffic among several Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks. A switch increases network capacity and decreases network loading by making it possible for a LAN to be divided into multiple, unique dedicated segments.
This chapter explains how to install the FriendlyNet Fast Ethernet FS4000E Series Switch Family. It contains the following sections: Package Contents FriendlyNet Fast Ethernet Switch Components Cabling and Voltage Requirements Mounting Configurations Connecting Network Devices Powering on the Switch Package Contents The FriendlyNet Fast Ethernet FS4000E Series Switches are shipped with the following items: (1) FriendlyNet 2-port FS4002E, 4-port FS4004E, 8-port FS4008E...
Installation Components This section describes the front- and back-panel layouts of the FS4000E Series Switches. The only front panel contol on the FS4002E, FS4004E and FS4008E Switches is the Uplink pushbutton switch, and the only control on the rear panel is the Ports Half Duplex Full NWay DIP switch. These units have the same LED indicator arrangement except for differences due to the number of ports.
Port DIP Switches Figure 2-2 FriendlyNet FS4002E back panel Note: The FS4002E does not have a power switch. The FS4002E is automatically powered on as soon as the power cord is connected between the FS4002E and a power outlet. FS4004E The front panel of the FS4004E contains four 10/100 Mbps ports, one uplink switch button, and LED indicators.
Installation Note: The FS4004E does not have a power switch. The FS4002E is automatically powered on as soon as the power cord is connected to the FS4004E and to a power outlet. FS4008E The front panel of the FS4008E consists of eight 10/100 Mbps ports, one uplink button switch, and LED indicators.

There are no other controls or indicators. See Figure 2-8. Figure 2-8 FriendlyNet FS4016E back panel Note: The FS4016E does not have a power switch.
Installation Voltage Requirements Check the AC power line voltage used in your area. T h e AC power adapter included with the FS4002E a nd FS 40 0 4 E Switches must match the utility power. The FS4008E and FS4016E are equipped with an internal power supply. Power sensing is automatic for all international utility power.
Wall Mounting the FS4002E, FS4004E, and FS4008E The FS4002E, FS4004E, and FS4008E come with a wall-mount kit. The kit consists of screws and wall anchors. Important! The FS4016E cannot be wall-mounted without the optional wall mount kit, part number 99-00486--07. To mount the FS4002E, FS4004E, and FS4008E on a wall, consider the following when selecting a site: Select a site that is free of obstructions from other equipment or...
Installation Rack Mounting the FS4008E or FS4016E The FS4008E and FS4016E come with a rack-mounting kit. Important! The FS4002E and FS4004E cannot be installed in an equipment rack. The FS4008E or FS4016E can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
Connecting Network Devices Before you connect network devices to the Switch, review the following guidelines: Make sure the network cable length is less than 100 meters (Category 5 and up) Note: Category 3 is acceptable for 10Base-T Use a straight-through twisted pair cable or a crossover cable when appropriate for either uplink or standard data ports When connecting two switches together (cascading switches), make sure that the link between them is no longer than 100 meters...
Installation Connecting a Hub or a Switch to the Asanté Switch Use a two-pair Category 5 UTP straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors Connect the hub’s uplink port to any of the Switch’s ports. See Figure 2-13 FS4008E FriendlyNet 8-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch Power Straight-through network cable FriendlyNet...
Uplink button again. FS4002E and FS4004E The FS4002E/FS4004E Switches may be turned on with (or without) LAN segment cables connected. To power on the Switch: Connect one end of the power cord (supplied) into the 12Vdc power connector on the back panel of the Switch.
This chapter explains how to interpret the front panel LED indicators on the FriendlyNet Fast Ethernet FS4000E Series Switches. LED Indicators on the Switch The LEDs on the Switch are used to facilitate monitoring and troubleshooting. With the exception of the Power LED, all front panel LEDs are used to monitor the status of each port.
The Activity LEDs blink from slow to steady as traffic increases. The power LED indicator lights and remains ON. If this indicator is not lit, check to make sure that the AC power connector (DC adapter for FS4002E/FS4004E) is properly connected in the socket. Page 3-2 Link...
LED Indicators for Port Connections Link LED The green Link LED indicates when a device is detected on the other end of the port Table 3-1 describes the possible status indications of the Link LEDs. Table 3-1 Link LED status indicators State Normal data/link pulse reception No twisted-pair cable connected...
LED Indicators Activity LEDs The green Activity LEDs indicate transmit/receive activity. Table 3-4 describes the possible status indications of the Activity LEDs. Table 3-4 Activity LED Status Indicators State Data is transmitting or receiving on this port. No data activity on this port. Page 3-4 Status...
Table A-1 describes how to troubleshoot problems with your network and/or the Switch by monitoring the Switch’s LEDs. Table A-1 Problem Power LED is off Make sure the power adapter is connected to the power outlet and is prop- erly inserted into the power connector on the switch. Determine if the power outlet is functional by plugging another device into the receptacle.
