This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Purpose This guide discusses how to install your 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch. Terms/Usage In this guide, the term "Switch" (first letter upper case) refers to your 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch, and "switch" (first letter lower case) refers to other Ethernet switches. 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. [. . . ] The programmable administration parameters allow the Switch to operate more effectively than unmanaged (dumb) switches. This chapter will describe how to configure the Switch. Console Port (RS-232 DCE) The console configuration requires connecting a Workstation or a PC running a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal, which comes with Microsoft Windows) to the RS-232 DCE console port of the Switch. 14 Below is the console port configuration: Baud rate: 9, 600 Data width: 8 bits Parity: none Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None Make sure the terminal or PC you are using to make this connection is configured to match these settings. Configuring the Switch The 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch has a menu-driven console interface. A network administrator can manage, control and monitor the Switch using the console program. This section indicates how to configure the Switch to enable its smart functions including: Setup The two options in the Setup screen are Port Configuration and VLAN. The functions of these two items are illustrated in the following sections. System The following options are available in the System screen; Factory Reset, Change Password, Confirm Password, Refresh Time, Login Timeout, and System Uptime. 15 File You can upload or download the Switch's configuration settings by using Upload Configuration or Download Configuration in the File setting screen. Statistics In the Statistics menu screen, you can view each port's data transferring and receiving status. Navigating The Console After entering the configuration program, you will see available command keys at the bottom of each menu screen. Available when the field has multiple selections. Login Execute the terminal emulation program on the remote workstation, connect the serial cable, and turn on the Switch. Login Move the cursor to highlight Password, input the default password admin and hit Enter, the cursor will then moves to login, hit Enter again to login. Main Menu After login the console, the main menu appears (see Figure 11). You can see the available console command keys in the lower portion of the screen. Move cursor to highlight a desired option by using Up Arrow, Down Arrow, and Tab keys, and then press Enter key to confirm. The four options in the Main Menu screen are Setup, System, File, and Statistics. 17 Figure 11. Main Menu Configuring Setup Settings There are Port Configuration and VLAN settings in Setup menu (see Figure 12). Figure 12. Setup Menu Port Configuration In Port Configuration menu (Figure 13), you can configure each port's (port 17 is reserved for optional Fiber Port) Speed, Flow 18 Control, and QoS. This screen displays Port 01 ~ 12 status, for port 13 ~ 17, please select Next. After completing the setup, move cursor to Save and hit Enter to save the settings. Figure 13. Port Configuration (1) Speed There are five speed modes-- Auto, 100M Full, 100M Half, 10M Full, and 10M Half. To change the speed setting, highlight Port, enter the port number and hit Enter, and the cursor will move to the next field Speed. Hit Enter to select the desired speed and the cursor will move to Flow Control option. (2) Flow Control This setting determines whether or not the Switch will be handling flow control. To change the flow control setting, select the Port number, highlight the FlowCtrl field, and hit Space Bar 19 to select ON or OFF. [. . . ] Move cursor to "Download Configuration" and hit "Enter". At "Are you sure?", hit "space bar" once to show "Yes" and then hit "Enter". On Hyper Terminal's Menu Bar, click on "Transfer" and select "Send File. . . ". Input the path and file name of the configuration file (or click on "Browse" to select file from the location), click on the drop down arrow and select "Xmodem" as transfer protocol, and click on "Send".
