10/100 BOUT THE IGER WITCH Switch Architecture The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. The Switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity.
ESCRIPTION OF ARDWARE Description of Hardware RJ-45 Ports The switch base unit contains 16 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All of these ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.

HAPTER ETWORK LANNING Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today's networking technology.
ETWORK LANNING Application Examples The TigerSwitch 10/100 is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections and linking VLANs. Some typical applications are described below. Collapsed Backbone...

ONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The TigerSwitch 10/100 is designed to be connected to 10 or 100 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using the optional fiber optic modules.
AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards. Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches 1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.
WISTED EVICES 3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the TigerSwitch) corresponding to each port will light to indicate that the connection is valid. Wiring Closet Connections Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks.
IBER PTIC EVICES Fiber Optic Devices An optional slide-in 100BASE-FX module or GBIC transceiver can be used for backbone and long distance connections. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an SC connector at both ends. If you need to connect to a device with 62.5/125 micron cable that has ST-type connectors, SMC provides an optional SC-ST Converter (Part Number: 99-012034-091).
AKING ETWORK ONNECTIONS 3. Connect one end of the cable to the SC port on the switch and the other end to the SC port on the other device. Since SC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation. 1 0 0 B 1 0 0 B A S E -...
ONNECTIVITY ULES Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. However, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.
ABLE ABELING AND ONNECTION ECORDS Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.

ROUBLESHOOTING Power and Cooling Problems If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fans on the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown.
PPENDIX ABLES Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards. For 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, white with green stripes.
ABLES 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10 Mbps connections or 100-ohm Category 5 cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
WISTED ABLE AND SSIGNMENTS Straight-Through Wiring If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.) EIA/TIA 568B RJ-45 Wiring Standard...
