A BOUT T HIS G UIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the DSS-16+ 16-port 10/100Mbps Auto-negotiation Fast Ethernet Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Purpose This guide discusses how to install your DSS-16+. Terms/Usage In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) refers to DSS-16+ 16-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch, and “switch” (first letter lower case) refers to other Ethernet switches.
I NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the DSS-16+ and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times.
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond 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, transmitting among 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.
network congestion problems. Features The DSS-16+ is designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously.
U NPACKING AND S ETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the DSS-16+. Unpacking Open the shipping carton for the Switch and carefully unpack its contents.
ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. Desktop Installation When installing the Switch on a desktop, the rubber feet included with the device must be attached first. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it.
Attaching the mounting brackets to the Switch Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.
I DENTIFYING E XTERNAL C OMPONENTS This section identifies all the major external components of the DSS-16+. The figure below shows the front panels of the DSS-16+. 16-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch 1. LED Indicator Panel Refer to the detailed information about each of the DSS-16+’s LED indicators. Power This indicator lights green when the switch is receiving power; otherwise, it is off.
FDX / Col (Full-duplex/Collision) This LED indicator lights green when a respective port is in full duplex (FDX) operation mode. Otherwise, it is blinking when collisions are occurring on the respective port in half duplex operation mode. 100Mbps This LED indicator lights green when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station. Otherwise, the LED is off when the port is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet device. 2.
