1. Introduction The MIL-S8001TG switch is a multi-port switch that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The switch is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing environments. Figure 1-1. The MIL-S8001TG switch The 8-Port 10/100/1000 + 1 MiniGBIC Gigabit Ethernet Smart Workgroup Switch features a “store-and-forward“ switching scheme.

Ethernet Switching Technology Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network, eliminated congestion problems inherent with CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense multiple access with Collision Detection) protocol, and greatly reduced unnecessary transmissions. This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous transmissions over the same port (Full-duplex), which essentially doubled the bandwidth.
Management Methods The MIL-S8001TG switch series supports Console Management methods Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the switch in this method requires a direct connection between a PC and the switch.
2. Hardware Description Front Panel The Front Panel of the MIL-S8001TG switch consists of eight 10/100/1000Base-TX RJ-45 ports, one MINI GBIC slot, one LED-Indicator for Power, three LED-Indicators (100/1000, LNK/ACT, FDX/COL) for each UTP port, and two LED-Indicators (LNK/ACT) for the Mini-GBIC slot. Figure 2-1. Front panel for MIL-S8001TG RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): 8x 10/100/1000 N-way auto-sensing for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX or 1000Base-T connections.

Rear Panel The 3-pronged power plug and console port are located at the rear panel of the MIL-S8001TG as shown in Figure 2-3. The switch will work with AC in the range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. Figure 2-3. The Rear Panel of MIL-S8001TG switch 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.
Power On Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the switch. Connect the other end of the cord to an appropriate power outlet. The internal power supply in the switch works with AC in the voltage range of 100-240VAC and frequency 50~60Hz. Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.
3. Network Application This section provides you a few samples of network topology in witch the Switch is used. In general, the 8 Gigabit Copper with one MINI GBIC Smart switch is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its address table (4000 MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments. PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with 8 Gigabit Copper with one MINI GBIC Smart switch.
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 server, and local server attached, are both connect to the switch. All the devices in this network can communicate with each other through the Switch. Connecting servers to the Switch allow other users to access the data on server.
4. Console Management Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port Console management involves the administration of the switch via a direct connection to the RS-232 console port. This port is a female DB-9 connector. From the main menu of the console program, the user has access to manage the functions of the switch. Use the supplied RS-232 cable to connect a terminal or PC to the console port. The terminal or PC to be connected must support the terminal emulation program.
After the connection between the Switch and PC is finished, turn on the PC and run a terminal emulation program or Hyper Terminal and configure its communication parameters to match the following default characteristics of the console port: Baud Rate: 9600 bps Data Bits: 8 Parity: none Stop Bit: 1 Flow Control: None Figure 4-1. The settings of communication parameters After you have entered the parameter settings, press the Enter Key and the Main Menu of console management appears.

5. Troubleshooting This section is intended to help you solve some common problems encountered while using the MIL-S8001TG switch. Incorrect connections The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when you link switch with other Ethernet device. For the RJ-45 connector should use correct UTP or STP cable, 10/100Mbps port use 2 pairs twisted cable and Gigabit 1000T port use 4 pairs twisted cable. If the RJ-45 connector is not correct pin on right position then the link will fail.
Improper Network Topologies It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive cable length and too many repeaters or hubs between end nodes. In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two ends nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance.
