1 A BOUT T HIS G UIDE Congratulations on yo ur purchase of the LevelOne FSW- 1609/2409TFX 16/24-Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Eth ernet Switch. This device integrat es 100Mb p s Fas t Ethern et and 10Mb ps Ether net net work ca pabil ities in a hig hly flexible package.
2 The functionality of three uni ts is identical, except for the number o f ports . Where appr opriat e, differ ences be tween the two units are noted. Overview of this User’s Guide Chapter 1, Introd uction . Describes the Switc h and its features. Chapter 2, Unpacking and Installation .
3 I NTRODUCTION This chapt er describes th e features of the Swi tch and som e background informati on abou t Ethernet/ Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The gr owin g importanc e of LANs and th e increasing complexity of de sktop computing applic ations are fueling the need for high perfor mance netw orks.
4 Switching Technology Anot her app roach t o pushing b eyond the li mits of Eth ernet technology is the devel opment of s witching t echnology. A switch bridge Ethernet packet s at the MAC address le vel of the Ethern et protoc ol trans mitting am ong connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.
5 Switching LAN technology is a mar ked improv ement over the previous genera tion of netw ork bridges, which wer e characterized by higher latencie s. Routers have also b een used to segm ent local ar ea networks , but the cost of a rout er, the setup and m ainten ance r equired make r outer s relati vely impract ica l.
6 upgrade to Fast Eth ernet in the futur e. Ethern et workgroups can conn ect to the Switc hes now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switch es or reconf igur e the netw ork.
7 is only available in ha lf duplex mode. Data forwar ding rate p er po rt is at wire-speed for 100Mbp s speed. Data forwar ding rate p er po rt is at wire-speed for 10Mbps speed. Data fil terin g rate elimin ates all err or p ackets, runts, etc., pe r port at wire-speed f or 100Mbps speed .
8 U NP ACKING AND I NST ALLA TION This chapter pr ovides unpac ki ng and setup informat ion for the Switch es. Unpacking Open the s hippin g cart ons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents.
9 Installation The s ite whe re you ins tal l the hub s tack ma y grea tly aff ect its perf orma nce. Wh en ins tall ing, co nsider th e fol lowing pointers: Install the S witch i n a fai rly cool and dry pl ace. See Appen dix B f or the acc ept able te mper atur e and humidity op erat ing ranges .
10 100Base-FX Module Installation The ins tal lation proc edu re for each modul e is the sa me. Addition al in formati on about each module is provid ed below. To install any of th e modules: (Includes SC o r ST type connectors) 1. Locate the module slot in the switch’s rear panel.
11 We reco mmend that you reta in t he dust cover in case you need to r emove the module for an extended period sometim e in the futur e. In FSW-1609/240 9TFX, the last p ort (Port 16/24) and the 100BASE-FX port is re ally the same port. Do not use both Port 16 /24 and the 10 0BASE-FX po rt at the sam e time.
12 Then, use sc rews prov ide d with t he eq uipm ent rack to mount each switch in the rack..
13 Identifying External Components This section identi fies all the major e xtern al com ponents of the switch . Both the front an d rear panels are shown, foll owed b y a desc ripti on of ea ch panel featur e. The indica tor panel is d escrib ed in detail in th e next chapter.
14 With the Auto-MDI/ MDIX func tion, you just n eed to plug-in the netw ork cable to th e hub direct ly and no need to car e if the en d node is NIC (N etwork Int erfac e Card) or switches and hubs.

16 C ONNECTING T HE S WITCH This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast Eth erne t network. PC to Switch A PC can be connect ed to the Switch via a two- pair Cat egory 3, 4, 5 U TP/STP straight cabl e.
17 Hub to Switch A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connecte d to the Switch via a two-pair Cate gory 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable. The connection is accomplis hed fr om the hub uplink (MDI -II) port to any port of the Switch (MDI-X) po rts.
18 Switch to Switch (other devices) The Switch can be connected to ano ther switch or oth er device s (routers, b ridges, e tc.) vi a a two-pair Categ ory 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover cable.
19 Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the selecte d ca ble t o a spec ific port, t he system uses auto-neg otia tion to determine the tra nsmission mode f or any new twi sted-pair co nnection.
