[. . . ] The Switch is a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switch now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the network. The Switch combine dynamic memory allocation with storeand-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow between 3 the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss. The Switch is a managed 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch that offers solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are: Auto-MDI function supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function gives true `plug and play' capability without the need of confusing crossover cables or crossover ports. As the result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments. This allows for autosensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing you with automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections. This minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is full. Data filtering/forwarding rate is wire-speed for 10Mbps and 100Mbps speed. 4K MAC address entry table per device with self-learning for the Switch. 128KBytes RAM buffer per device for the Switch. 4 UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switches. Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One 5-port 10/100M NWay Ethernet Switch One external power adapter This User's Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Setup The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps: The surface must support at least 1. 5 Kg for the Switch. Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. 5 IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS This section identifies all the major external components of the hub. 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. Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the switch. LED Indicator Panel Refer to the LED Indicator section for detailed information about each of the hub's LED indicators. Rear Panel DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Check the technical specification section for information about the AC power input voltage. [. . . ] The connection is accomplished from the hub to any of the Switch RJ-45 ports. A. 10BASE-T Hub For a 10BASE-T hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as the following: "Full-Duplex/Collision" indicator is OFF. "100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT LED" indicator is light amber. B. 100BASE-TX Hub For a 100BASE-TX hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as the following: "Full-Duplex/Collision" LED indicator is OFF. [. . . ]
