LSW2F8_16 Guide 3/18/99 12:17 PM Page 5 (1,1) Chapter 2 Using the LSW Switch 2.1 Packing Checklist Your switch product package should contain the following: ✓ An LSW2F8 or LSW2F16 10/100 Ethernet Switch ✓ One AC Power Cable ✓ Four self-adhesive standoffs ✓ Rackmount brackets and screws ✓ Installation Guide If any of these items are missing, contact your dealer immediately. 2.
LSW2F8_16 Guide 3/18/99 12:17 PM Page 6 (1,1) 2.2.1 Fileserver Link The LSW switch can be used to greatly increase the bandwidth between one or more fileservers and the workgroups they serve. Individual 10Mbps workgroup switches can be connected to the ports on the LSW switch, ensuring that traffic in one workgroup will not interfere with the performance of another workgroup. Full-duplex 100Mbps links to fileservers guarantee that full bandwidth is delivered to each workgroup.
LSW2F8_16 Guide 3/18/99 12:17 PM Page 7 (1,1) 2.2.2 Backbone Link Traditionally, bridges and routers have been used to link individual local area networks into an interconnected network. Routers and traditional bridges introduce relatively large delays when forwarding traffic from one network to another, in addition to being difficult to manage. Bridge architecture based on two-port bridges may require traffic to pass through several bridges before reaching its destination.
LSW2F8_16 Guide 3/18/99 12:17 PM Page 8 (1,1) 2.2.3 10/100Mbps Bridging The LSW 10/100 Ethernet Switch can allow you to gradually transition between traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and newer 100Mbps Fast Ethernet. The addition of the LSW switch can give immediate increases in performance on the 10Mbps networks, and allows connectivity to be maintained when network stations are transitioned over to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet.

LSW2F8_16 Guide 3/18/99 12:17 PM Page 13 (1,1) 3.3 Full/Col: Full or Half Duplex/Collision LEDs Each port has a full duplex/half duplex/Collision LED on the front panel labeled Full/Col. On normal status, this LED indicates that transmission of selected ports is full duplex or half duplex (ON: Full duplex, OFF: Half duplex). Also this LED is used to indicate collision status.
