2. INSTALLATION This section describes the functionalities of the Desktop Fast Ethernet Switch’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing. 2.
2.1.
Figure 2-4 SW-804 rear panel 2.1.3 LED Indicators LED PWR LNK/ACT Color Function Green Lights to indicate that the Switch is powered on. Green Lit: indicate the link through that port is successfully established. Blink: indicate that the Switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port. Power Notice: 1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered.
2.2.1 Desktop Installation To install the Switch on desktop, simply follow the next steps: Step1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch. Step2: Place the Switch on desktop near a DC power source. Step3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Switch and the surrounding objects. Note Step4: When choosing a location, please keep in mind the environmental restrictions discussed in Chapter 1, Section 1.4 Product Specification. Connect your Switch to network devices.
3. SWITCH OPERATION 3.1 Address Table The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch. 3.2 Learning When one packet comes in from any port, the Switch will record the source address, port no. And the other related information in address table.
The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packetheader, searches the routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the switch is most commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall performance.
4. TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If Desktop Fast Ethernet Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Desktop Fast Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. Some stations cannot talk to other stations located on the other port Solution: The address table may contain older information than of the address table of that node. Please power down to refresh the address information.
Appendix A A.1 Switch’s RJ-45 Pin Assignments When connecting your Desktop Fast Ethernet Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you can directly connect the Switch to any Ethernet devices without making a crossover cable.
coded. The following shows the pin allocation and color of straight cable and crossover cable connection: Figure A-1 Straight-Through and Crossover Cable Please make sure your connected cables are with same pin assignment and color as above picture before deploying the cables into your network.
