2. Hardware Description Front Panel The Front Panel of the MIL-S1600 consists of 16 auto-sensing 10/100BaseTX Ethernet RJ-45 ports, a console port, and an extension slot for a 100BaseFX Fiber Module. The LED Indicators are also located on the front panel of the switch. Figure 2-1. The Front panel of the MIL-S1600 Note : MDI/MDIX allows you to connect to another switch or workstation without regard to cabling type. Console Port: The limited management functions are configured through the Console Port.
LED Indicators The LED Indicators give real-time information on operational status. The following table provides descriptions of LED status and their meaning. Figure 2-2.
Rear Panel The 3-pronged power plug is located at the rear panel of the MIL-S1600 as shown in Figure 2-2. The switch has autosensing power in the range of 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. Figure 2-2. The Rear Panel Desktop Installation Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface where you put your switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy. Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and to allow air circulation.
Rack-mounted Installation A rack-mounting kit is provided with the MIL-S1600 and the switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size 19-inch rack allowing it to be placed in a wiring closet. Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch: A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the switch. Figure 2-5. Attach mounting brackets with screws B.
Figure 2-6. Mounting the MIL-S1600 in an EIA standard 19-inch Rack Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installation. Power On Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the switch. The other side of power cord connects to the power outlet.
3. Optional Fiber Modules This section introduces the optional 100FX modules, which can be installed on the front panel of the MIL-S1600 switch. Each optional 100FX Module supports a one-port fiber connector. The 100FX Modules are designed to extend the distance between the MILS1600 and other devices. The maximum distance connected by optical fiber is up to 2 Km multi-mode fiber or 15 to 60 Km with single-mode fiber. Figure 3-1.
Front Panel The front of the 100Base-FX modules have four LED-indicators, two thumbscrews, a DIP-switch for forcing full or half duplex and one fiber connector. The front panels of the 100FX modules are shown as below. Figure 3-2. 100FX module with SC connector Figure 3-3. 100FX module with ST Connector Figure 3-4. 100FX Modules with MT-RJ Figure 3-5.
LEDs for Optional Fiber Modules The LEDs provide a real-time information of operational status. The following table provides a description of the LEDs.
Installing the 100FX Module Before installation, ensure that the power to the switch is disconnected. The module is NOT hot-swappable. Follow the steps to install the optional 100FX Module: 1. Power the MIL-S1600 OFF before installing the 100FX Module. 2. Unscrew the thumbscrews on the blank panel. Remove the blank panel and set aside, but do not discard it. Put the blank bracket back in if you remove the new module. 3.
4. Network Application The MIL-S1600 is designed to be used as a segment switch. With its 8000 MAC address table and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments. You can use the MIL-S1600 to connect PCs, workstations, and servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the switch. The switch automatically learns the address of the attached device, which is subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
Segment Bridge For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate backbone. In the illustration below, two Ethernet switches with PCs, print servers, and a local server are all connected to the MIL-S1600 switch. All the devices in this network can communicate with each other through the MIL-S1600 switch.
VLAN Application Virtual Local Area Networks, VLANs, enable efficient traffic separation, provide better bandwidth utilization, and alleviate cabling issues by logically segmenting the physical LAN so that packets are switched only between ports within the same VLAN, creating secure segments. The VLANs on the MIL-S1600 are only local VLANs and can not be associated with VLANs on any other switch. A port can be configured to be a member of several VLANs.
5. Network Configuration for limited management The MIL-S1600 switch does not need to be configured in order to operate as a layer 2 switch. All ports are auto-sensing and the switch automatically learns addresses and sends packets to the correct port without involving management. Limited management is provided in order to enhance the operability of the switch. If it is necessary to force a port to operate at 10Mbps or 100Mbps, the switch can be configured to do so.
Figure 5-1. Connecting the MIL-S1600 to a terminal via RS-232 cable After connecting the Switch and PC, run a terminal emulation program or Hyper Terminal to match the following default characteristics of the console port: Baud Rate: 9600 Data Bits: 8 Parity: None Stop Bit: 1 Control flow: None Figure 5-2. The settings of communication parameters After you have finished parameter settings, press “ Enter “ Key and the Main Menu of console management appears.
Main Menu The Main Menu shows all options available from Console Configuration. The Main Menu Screen and sub-menus for these options are described as below. Figure 5-3. The Main Menu Screen Note: If the fiber module is not pre-installed, item 7 Fiber will not show. After any configuration changes, select item six, "Apply current configuration", in order for any changes to take affect. Port Setup The main menu screen lists the options that are available.
Figure 5-4. Port Setup If you want to modify the port status, you must use the “m” key to select the port that you want to change status. After selecting the port, press “space bar” to change the port status, which has two modes, Enabled or Disabled. After all the port settings are correct, press “S” to save the port status parameters. The "Esc" key returns you to back to the main menu.
Figure 5-5 Speed/Duplex VLAN Setup A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a group of switch ports designated by the switch as belonging to the same broadcast domain. VLANs on the MIL-S1600 isolate broadcast traffic, increase security and create limited broadcast domains to prevent traffic congestion. The portbased VLANs on this switch are locally defined and do not exist outside of this switch. From the main menu choose “VLAN Setup“ by typing “4“. The VLAN Setup mode appears on the screen.
Figure 5-6. Example of a configuration of VLAN groups On the Figure5-6, VLAN 2 includes port 3,4,5,6, VLAN 3 includes ports 7,8,9, and VLAN1 include ports 1,2,10-17. The switch is divided to 3 VLAN groups. In this configuration none of the VLANs can communicate with each other. For example, Port 7 cannot communicate with any device on port 3. Trunk Setup Trunking of ports allows higher bandwidth by aggregating several ports to act as one port.
Figure 5-8. The switch supports two different trunks providing up to 6 ports on each trunk. The example above shows that Trunk 1 includes ports (1& 9), ports (2 & 10), ports (3 & 11), six ports in all. The second trunk, Trunk 2 has ports (7 & 15) and ports (8 & 16) using 4 ports. You can choose different ports by pressing the “Space” bar for the various options. After making your choices, type ”S” to save the trunked ports.
