[. . . ] € Helps you get started with the basic installation of the Switch. ♦ Chapter 3 , “Identifying External Components. € Describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED indicators of the Switch. € Tells how you can connect the Switch to your Ethernet network. € Lists the technical (general, physical and environmental, and performance) specifications of the Switch. € Describes the RJ-45 receptacle/connector and the straight and crossover cable connector. X About This Guide 10/100 NWay Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 1 1 I NTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the Switch. Features The Switch is designed for easy installation, a superior cost/performance ratio, and easy migration to a bandwidth-critical environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increases continuously. The Switch supports auto-negotiation, allowing both 10Mbps and 100Mbps operation in full-duplex or half-duplex mode, even on all ports simultaneously. Low price and compact dimensions make the Switch suitable for small and medium-size workgroups as well as SOHO environments, enabling users to migrate easily from traditional shared LANs to switched networks. Each full/half duplex port can be connected directly to high-demand nodes, such as workstations, servers, or other switches or hubs, to meet increased bandwidth and flexibility demands. The Switch performs store-and-forward switching to ensure effective buffer allocation for each port. Data flow is controlled between the transmitting and receiving nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss. Introduction 1 10/100 NWay Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Performance features ♦ Sixteen high-performance 10/100Mbps NWay ports; all ports can auto-negotiate for full- or half-duplex operation ♦ Uplink (MDI-II) port for straight-through connection to another switch, hub or repeater ♦ Full wire-speed forwarding for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet (148, 800 pps) and 10Mbps Ethernet (14, 880 pps) on all ports ♦ High-performance 2M SGRAM packet buffer ♦ Up to 8K MAC address table ♦ IEEE 802. 3x-compliant flow control for full duplex mode ♦ Back-pressure control for half duplex mode ♦ Store-and-forward packet switching adaptation and ensures data integrity ♦ A full complement of LED status indicators supports rate 2 Introduction 10/100 NWay Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 2 2 U NPACKING AND S ETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: ♦ One 10/100 NWay Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switch ♦ One AC power cord ♦ This User’s Guide ♦ Four rubber feet with adhesive backing If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local network supplier for replacement. Unpacking and Setup 3 10/100 NWay Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Setup The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps: ♦ The surface must support at least 5kg for the Switch. ™¦ Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to the AC power connector. ™¦ Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Desktop or Shelf Installation When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device must be first attached. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. [. . . ] 100BASE-TX Hub For a 100BASE-TX hub, the Switch’s LED indicators should illuminate the following: ♦ ♦ 100Mbps LED speed indicator is ON. Hub without Uplink (MDI-II) port If a hub is not equipped with an Uplink (MDI-II) port, then a connection can be made using either straight cable or crossover cable (see Appendix B, Pin Specification for cable requirement). connecting The Switch 13 10/100 NWay Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 4. 3 10/100 NWay Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switch connected to a Hub without Uplink (MDI-II) port using the straight or crossover cable option Using straight cable When using straight cable, the connection can be made from the Uplink (MDI-II) port of the Switch to any port of the Hub.
