Quick Installation Guide Introduction These CheetahSwitches are ideal for moving workgroups from the conventional 10Mbps shared Ethernet collision domain to multiple dedicated Ethernet segments. These switches deliver dedicated 10/100 Mbps links to each attached LAN segment (independent collision domain) or attached PCs all with conventional cabling and adapters. They completely eliminate the bottlenecks of shared 10Mbps Ethernet networks by providing a wide bandwidth of up to 3.2 Gbps.
CheetahSwitch Workgroup-3008A/3016A The following figure shows the components of these switches: Mounting the Hub This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack (ES3016A). Before you start installing the switch, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected.
Quick Installation Guide Mounting Switches in a Rack (ES3016A) Please comply with the following instructions to ensure that your switch is securely mounted in the rack. 1. Use a standard EIA 19-inch rack. 2. Use the brackets and screws supplied in the rack mounting kit. 3. Use a cross-head screwdriver to attach the brackets to the side of the switch. 4.
CheetahSwitch Workgroup-3008A/3016A I Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the switch. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards. Notes: 1. When using Port 8MDI-X on the ES3008A, do not use Port 8MDI. 2. Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). 3.
Quick Installation Guide 3. The switch performs a self-diagnostic test upon power-on. (Note that this test takes about 20 seconds to complete.) Note: The unit supports a "hot remove" feature which permits you to connect/ disconnect cables without powering off the switch and without disrupting the operation of the devices attached to the switch. Verifying Port Status Check each connection by viewing the port status indicators shown in the following table.
CheetahSwitch Workgroup-3008A/3016A Bridging Functions - This switch provides fully transparent bridging functions which automatically learn node addresses, that are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address. When traffic passes between devices attached to the same shared collision domain, those packets are filtered from the switch. But when traffic must be passed between unique segments (i.e.

CheetahSwitch Workgroup-3008A/3016A Troubleshooting Diagnosing Switch Indicators The switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist the network manager in identifying problems. This section describes common problems you may encounter and possible solutions. Symptom: Link indicator does not light up (green) after making a connection. Cause: Network interface (e.g., a network adapter card on the attached device), network cable, or switch port is defective.
Quick Installation Guide Transmission Mode Verify that each port is set to the same transmission mode used by the attached device (i.e., half or full duplex). All ports can use auto-negotiation to set the transmission mode. However, full duplex can only be supported if the attached device also uses auto-negotiation. Port and Cable Assignments RJ-45 Port Description RJ-45 station ports (MDI-X) can be attached to any devices which use a standard network interface (e.g.
CheetahSwitch Workgroup-3008A/3016A EMI Certification FCC Class B (USA) Accton Technology Corporation This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
