User manual LINKSYS EZXS16W

[. . . ] FCC STATEMENT Every EtherFast 10/100 Workgroup Switch has been tested and found to comply with the specifications for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used according to the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] Reading the Front Panel LEDs The chart below tells you what the front panel LEDs of the 10/100 Workgroup Switches mean. Each Switch has a Power LED on the left side to indicate when the unit is ON. Package Contents Carefully remove your EtherFast 10/100 Workgroup Switch from its packaging. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your Linksys dealer for replacement part(s). · EtherFast 10/100 Workgroup Switch (EZXS16W shown) · AC Power Adapter · User Guide and Registration Card Connecting Computers to Your Switch Your Switch's rear panel has either 5, 8, or 16 standard RJ-45 ports (depending on the model). Each port automatically detects the speed and duplex of the attached cabling to a network card, switch, hub, etc. The ports operate in either full or half duplex, which lets you run at speeds of 200Mbps, 100Mbps, 20Mbps or 10Mbps. Each port on your Switch can connect to workstations, file servers, hubs, repeaters, bridges, routers or other switches. Connections to the switch require UTP Category 5 network cabling with RJ-45 tips, not to exceed 100 meters (328 feet) in length. To connect a computer directly to the switch, plug one end of the cable into the switch, then plug the other end of the cable into the computer's network adapter. Uplinking to Other Switches and Hubs EZXS55W v2 & EZXS88W v2 only: If the Uplink port is in use (connected to another switch, etc. ), the 10/100 Workgroup Switch's port next to the Uplink port must remain empty and unused. As with most switches, the 10/100 Workgroup Switch's Uplink port and the port adjacent to it are joined together inside the switch, and one cannot be used while the other is in use. EZXS16W only: The 10/100 16-Port Switch is equipped with a crossover button (labeled MDI/MDIX) that enables port 16 to be used as the switch's uplink port. To utilize the port's uplink capability, the MDI/MDIX button must be depressed. If the button is not depressed, port 16 will function as a normal 10/100 port. 4 Front Panel - EtherFast 10/100 Workgroup Switch (EZXS88W v2 shown) LED Configuration Chart LED Link/Act FD/Col LED Status On Flickering On Flickering Off Network Status Connection is detected Data is sending/receiving Full duplex transfer mode Port has data collision error Half duplex transfer mode 100 Mbps speed 10 Mbps speed 100 On Off 5 Instant EtherFast® Series 10/100 Workgroup Switches Tips on Switching Your Network Here are some of the ways your new EtherFast 10/100 Workgroup Switch can help you optimize your network speed. · Speed up Nodes From Your 10BaseT Network In a 10BaseT network, connect your hubs, file servers, and key users, such as network administrators directly to your Switch to channel dedicated bandwidth in full-duplex mode (if operating in full-duplex) to each station. The Switch will have dedicated communication with all its connections simultaneously, whereas a hub can only communicate in half duplex transfer mode and broadcasts information to all ports. · Conserving Bandwidth with 10Mbps & 100Mbps Segments 10BaseT and 100BaseTX hardware are not readily compatible, but your 10/100 Switch can designate network segments of different speeds. This allows you to run one 10Mbps segment to serve users without a need for considerable speed, and a faster 100Mbps segment devoted to users who depend heavily on graphics, multimedia, database, or other speed-intensive applications. With switched segmentation, your 100Mbps users will not be slowed down by the users on the 10Mbps segment. · Run 10Mbps Peripherals in Your Fast Ethernet Network Most of the network peripherals in place today run at 10Mbps, since 10BaseT has been the standard network speed to date. These peripherals, designed to operate at 10Mbps, cannot readily communicate with 100BaseTX equipment. A 10Mbps interface is also required for cable and DSL connections, which are quickly becoming very popular ways to access the Internet.
