[. . . ] All of our Industrial Series devices are delivered in a rugged, hardened case and with components capable of withstanding a high degree of vibration and shock. Not an ordinary office switch by any means, the INS-801 is engineered and designed specifically for the harsh, industrialtype environments commonly encountered in heavy industry. With its redundant DC power inputs and high-performance components, the INS-801 is perfectly suited for the industrial Ethernet. Switching Technology One way to push the limits of Ethernet technology, is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol that are transmitted between connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local area network into different segments which don't compete with each other for network transmission capacity. 5 Features The Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an industrial environment where vibration, shock, heat, and RF interference may be commonplace. The Switch was specifically designed to be small and compact for easy DIN-rail mounting and it can be installed where space is limited. The Switch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for shared-bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. With a maximum bandwidth of 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server. The Switch can be expanded by cascading two or more switches together in a `daisy chain'. As all ports support 200Mbps (half-duplex), the Switch can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches. The Switch combines dynamic memory allocation with storeand-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss. The Switch is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch that offers solutions for increasing the bandwidth and speed of small Ethernet workgroups. Other key features are: o Five (5) 10/100Base-TX ports 6 o o o o o o o o o o Rugged, hardened IP30 case Vibration/Shock operational Power terminal block Wide voltage range: 9-48V DIP-switch to enable or disable alarm functions Power input polarity protection function Under-power and over-power detection function Wide operating temp. : -40° ~ 70° for the INS-801W C C Store-and-forwarding Auto-negotiation at all copper ports INS-801 INDUSTRIAL SWITCH UNPACKING AND SET-UP This section and the following sections explain the set-up and installation of the VOLKTEK INS-801/801W Industrial Switch. Unpacking Open the box of the Switch and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items: One INS-801 5-port 10/100M Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch One DIN-rail bracket Protective caps for unused ports Quick Installation Guide This User's Guide CD If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact 7 your local reseller for replacement.

If you need to attach the DIN-rail plate, assure that the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top. Attaching the Switch to the DIN-rail is easy: just align and hook it over the top rail, making sure that the metal spring (thin bent rod) is in front of the rail edge as the rail edge bites into the space behind this spring, then press down and press the Switch forward to snap into the bottom rail, as shown in the figures below. The set-up of the Switch can be performed after checking the following facts: · · The hanging structure must support at least 1. 0 Kg for the Switch. The power outlet should be within 1. 82 meters (6 feet) 10 · · from 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. Grounding the INS-801 Industrial Switch will help minimize noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). [. . . ] The top LED will illuminate green if the link speed is 100Mbps, and the lower LED will illuminate green if there is link activity. Otherwise, the LED's will be off. External Alarm Contact The INS-801 Industrial Switch has one Alarm Contact 14 connection point located on the green Power Contact Block on the top panel. The Switch's RJ-45 ports support full or half duplex, depending on which transmission speed is supported by the attached device. Switching, Filtering, and Forwarding Packets entering the INS-801 Switch with source and destination addresses belonging to the same port segment will be filtered, limiting those packets to one port, and relieving the rest of the network from the need to process them. A packet with a destination address served by another port segment will be forwarded to the appropriate port, and will not be sent to the other ports where it is not needed. [. . . ]
