Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub. As a general rule the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link should not exceed: · 1000BASE-SX: 550 m (1805 ft) using multimode fiber · 1000BASE-LX: 5 km (3. 2 miles) using single-mode fiber · 1000BASE-LH: 70 km (43. 5 miles) using single-mode fiber · 100BASE-FX: 20 km (12. 43 miles) using single-mode fiber · 100BASE-FX: 2 km (1. 24 miles) using multimode fiber However, power budget constraints must also be considered when calculating the maximum cable length for your specific environment. 2-7 NETWORK PLANNING 2-8 CHAPTER 3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Selecting a Site Switch units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. · The site should: - be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet. - be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F), and its humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing - provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air flow - be accessible for installing, cabling, and maintaining the devices - allow the status LED indicators to be clearly visible · Make sure that twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters. Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that: - provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz - is within 2 m (6. 6 feet) of each device - is powered from an independent circuit breaker · 3-1 INSTALLING THE SWITCH · As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended. Ethernet Cabling To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network: · Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T and Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T connections. Protection from radio frequency interference emissions Electrical surge suppression Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields RJ-45 Connector · · · · Figure 3-1 RJ-45 Connections 3-2 EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST Equipment Checklist After unpacking this switch, check the contents to be that sure you have received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation, be sure that you have all other necessary installation equipment. Package Contents · · · · · · · 24-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch AC power cord Owner registration card Serial cable Rack mounting kit This Installation Guide Installation and Management Guide CD Note: An optional stacking connector and cable is also available. Optional Rack-Mounting Equipment If you plan to rack-mount the switch, be sure to have the following equipment available: · · Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack--these are not included A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used) 3-3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Mounting This switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow. Rack Mounting Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors: · Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. (See page C-2. ) Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit. Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains. · · · To rack-mount devices: 1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit. 3-4 MOUNTING 25 26 Link/A ct Pw PoE 25 26 r Diag RP S k Mod PoE e /Link Stac Figure 3-2 Attaching the Brackets 2.

If installing a single switch only, turn to "Connecting to a Power Source" at the end of this chapter. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order. 3-5 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Montage (Rack Mounting Instructions - German) Switch-Einheiten können an ein standardmäßiges 19-Zoll Einrichtungsrack, einen Arbeitstisch oder ein Regal montiert werden. Folgend finden Sie die Montageanweisungen für jeden Positionstyp. Rack-Montage Beachten Sie die folgenden Faktoren, bevor Sie die Rack-Montage beginnen: · Temperatur: Da die Temperatur innerhalb einer Rackeinheit höher als die Raumumgebungstemperatur sein kann, stellen Sie bitte sicher, dass die Rackumgebungstemperatur innerhalb des angegebenen Betriebstemperaturbereichs liegt. (Siehe "Temperatur" auf Seite C-1. ) Mechanische Last: Stellen Sie kein Gerät auf eine Rack-Montageeinheit.
