1. Introduction Driven by recent advances in desktop computing technology, today’s network applications have increased in speed, power and the ability to process information.
1.1 Features Designed for resolving congestion problems caused by bandwidth-hungry devices and bandwidth-intensive applications as well as a high number o f users, the switches not only adhere to the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX, and IEEE 802.
1.2 Specifications Standard IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-X IEEE 802.3ad Port trunking IEEE 802.3x Full duplex flow control IEEE 802.
2. Installing the Switch The switch is designed to operate in workgroup environments without a complicated configuration procedure. It also features an auto-select 100-240 V , 50/60Hz power supply unit, which works in most countries around the world.
2.3 Mounting the Switches Desktop Mounting 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 Rack Mounting For mounting the switch into a 19-inch rack, a pair o f mounting brackets is included in the pack.
3. Making Network Connections 3.1 Network Switched Ports The following figure illustrates the switched ports provided on the front panel. The switch comes with 24 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet switched ports and two Gigabit Ethernet slots for Gigabit Ethernet modules.
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 • 10/10.
UTP Cable Connections When making a connection to another device using straight-through UTP cable, make sure MDI-X to MDI connection rule is followed. The following figure illustrates the pin assignme.
3.3 Gigabit Ethernet Slots Each Gigabit Ethernet slot can accommodate one optional Gigabit Ethernet module for your Gigabit connection. The following modules are available for selection: Module Wavele.
Auto-negotiation function The Gigabit Ethernet module operates on 1000M full-duplex mode. This function makes sure the system operates with maximum performance when it is connected to an auto-negotiation capable Gigabit Ethernet device. Duplex Mode Full duplex Fiber cable MM 50/125 micron meters, 62.
3.4 Making Trunk Connections Two 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.
The following figure illustrates a typical example of trunk connections between more than two switch units. Each trunk is a 2-port trunk. There are four trunks existing in this example. Each has 400Mbps bandwidth. The top switch is con - figured to have four trunks and is cascaded to four lower switch units.
3.5 Virtual LAN (VLAN) Each port o f the switch unit connects to one individual LAN segment. There can be many Ethernet nodes located on each segment. The switch performs network data forwarding between different LAN segments. It allows Ethernet nodes located on different segments to communicate with each other.
4. LED Indicators 4.1 LED Panels The switch provides comprehensive LED indicators for diagnosing and monitoring the operation o f the unit as illustrated below: 4.2 Interpretation Power LED: indicates the status o f the power supplied to the switch. Link/Act.
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 RS232 c.
5.2 Management objects The following table lists the management objects supported by the system: Login Basic Management Activities • General Management Configuration - system parameters • LAN Port.
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, broadcast I P , IP o f the default router.
5.4 Web Management Use any web browser with J AV A script support like Netscape Communicator 4.x or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later on any platform. Connect to the managed unit using the IP address as URL address. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Refer to the operation manual provided in the supplied CD-ROM for the details.
Contact the MiLAN web site for available software version. 5.8 Support This guide covers the basic information about the management functions supported by the managed switch. The detailed operation guides for all management functions are available in the software operation manual in the supplied CD-ROM.
