-10- 2. Installing the Switch The switch is designed to operate in workgroup environments without a complicated configuration procedure. It also features an auto-select 100- 240V , 50/60Hz power supply unit, which works in most countries around the world.
-11- 2.2 Panels The following figure illustrates the major components on front and rear panels: 10/100 Port 1-9 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Port #1 - #9 Crossover SW Crossover setting switch for 10/100 Port #.
-12- 2.3 Mounting the Switches The switches can be placed on a desktop as a stand-alone unit. Allow enough ventilation space between the switch and the objects around it. Desktop Mounting For mounting the switch into a 19-inch rack, a pair of mounting brackets is included in the pack.
-13- 3. Making Network Connections 3.1 Network Switched Ports The following figure illustrates the switched ports provided on the switch. The switch comes with nine Fast Ethernet switched ports and Port #9 provides two connection types, one is 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 connector and the other is 100BASE-FX fiber slot.
-14- 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Switched Ports Each switched port supports one connection to a LAN segments. Each segment is an independent shared network in one collision-domain. The connection can be to either a 10BASE-T or a 100BASE-TX device.
-15- 3.2 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Ports The switch can support connections to the following devices: • 10BASE-T or 10/100BASE-TX network cards • 10BASE-T hub ports • 100BASE-TX hub ports • .
-16- Flow Control Half-duplex mode uses back pressure flow control to prevent the receiv- ing buffer from being overrun by data from a source node. Full-duplex mode uses the 802.3X flow control standard to prevent fast Physical Ports data traffic from overrunning slow data traffic.
-17- 3.3 Fast Ethernet Fiber Slot The switch provides one fast Ethernet fiber slot. It can accommodate one optional fiber module for your fiber connection.
-18- Module Outline The following figure illustrates an example of the fiber modules. Different type of modules is mounted with dif ferent fiber connector . Fiber Module (T op view) Fiber Jumper Setting The jumper group J1 on the module is used to enable or disable the fiber module.
-19- Duplex Mode Setting The duplex mode used for the fiber module is configured by software port control settings. See chapter 5 for more information. Specifications Standard IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-FX Speed 100Mbps Duplex mode Full duplex or half duplex Wavelength 1300nm Fiber Connectors ST , SC, MT-RJ, VF-45 Fiber cable MM 50/125 m m, 62.
-20- 3.4 Making T runk Connections T wo switch units can be cascaded together through any regular switched data port on each unit when a port expansion is required. However , the transfer bandwidth between the two cascaded ports is limited to 200Mbps full duplex.
-21- The following figure illustrates an example of 2-port trunk connection between switch A and switch B. The aggregated bandwidth of the trunk is 400Mbps. Rules : 1. One switch can be configured to have up to 2 trunks and each trunk is composed of 2 trunking ports.
-22- The following figure illustrates a typical example of trunk connections between three switch units. Each trunk is a 2-port trunk. There are two trunks existing in this example. Each has 400Mbps band- width. The top switch is configured to have two trunks and is cascaded to four lower switch units.
-23- 4. LED Indicators 4.1 LED Panels The switch provides comprehensive LED indicators for diagnosing and monitoring the operation of the unit as illustrated below: 4.2 Interpretation Power LED : indicates the status of the power supplied to the switch.
-24- 5. Performing Network Management 5.1 Management Support The switch is featured with management functions and can be managed by using the following methods: _ Direct console connection over an RS2.
-25- 5.2 Management objects The following table lists the management objects supported by the system: Login Port Status - Port link status - Port control status - Port speed status - Port duplex statu.
-26- 5.3 Setting IP Address Before performing any management operation over network, the most important thing is to learn the detailed information about the TCP/IP network where the managed unit is located. The information includes the network address, subnet mask, and IP of the default router .
-27- Use the supplied RS232 cable to make the console connection directly from a PC COM port. The pin assignments of the connection are: Switch DTE console port 9-pin PC COM port Pi n 2 RXD ----------.
-28- 5.7 SNMP Management SNMP management are performed at a network management station run- ning SNMP network management application manager software with graphical user interface.
-29- switch. TFTP is an embedded function supported in the DOS window of any W indows NT system. Console SFTP Utility 1. Connect your PC to the switch console port via PC COM port as specified in section 5.4. 2. Start the console management and select Update Firmware command from the main menu of console management screen.
