Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches 1 INTRODUCTION Benefits of Switching Ethernet switching technology has dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network. It puts configuration flexibility and bandwidth adaptability into the local workgroups, where the majority of work is generated. It further eliminates congestion problems inherent to the CSMA/CD protocol, and improves predictable response time under heavy network loads.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches This compatibility ensures a path for users to add, change, and migrate to Fast Ethernet as demands emerge. It also provides a low cost and flexible bandwidth solution directly to local workgroups where the majority of work is generated, reducing the need for expensive network equipment.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 switches support portbased Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN). This advanced feature gives the network administrator a powerful, yet easy-to-use tool to reduce unnecessary broadcast traffic, flexibly segment the network, and enhance network security. The Signamax 065-7530/0657540 switches fully comply with IEEE 802.3u, 100BaseTX/FX, and IEEE 802.3, 10BaseT standards.

Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches Optional Module Installation Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 offers an optional one-port module for fiber connection. The fiber module is available in either single or multi-mode; it supports either a MT-RJ, SC, ST, or VF-45 connector. The optional module should be inserted into the extension slot located at the right side of the switch. Port 20X (for 065-7540) will be automatically disabled when optional module is installed.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches Jumper Settings The module arrives with pre-set jumpers and should not be reset. Use the jumper settings for trouble-shooting purposes only.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches 3 SWITCH CONFIGURATION This section explains the configuration of VLAN, flowcontrol, and port speed and duplex mode setting. Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN) enables efficient traffic separation, provides better bandwidth utilization, and alleviates scaling issues by logically segmenting the physical LAN so that packets are switched only between ports within the same VLAN. This also creates secure segments within the existing network.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches Setting up Connection the Console Port To configure these features through the console port, it is necessary to first configure a terminal emulation program in DOS or in Windows, such as HyperTerminal. Check the switch, cables, and computers for proper installation before configuration.

Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches VLAN Virtual local area network (VLAN) is a network configuration in which nodes are grouped into logical, rather than physical networks. Figure 8 & 9 below shows the difference between LAN and VLAN. The segmentation in VLAN creates secured areas where sensitive information is not shared and creates its own broadcast domain within the group to effectively reduce broadcast traffic, providing higher network efficiency and security.

Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches Configure VLAN Groups Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enable segmenting of the LAN without regard to physical location. Assign each port to a VLAN group or set of groups according to accessibility needs. Thus, a specific port could be in more than one VLAN group. This switch is able to support up to four port-based Virtual LAN (VLAN) domains. Follow these steps to assign ports to a VLAN group.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches VLAN Example: VLAN/Mode/Trunking/Default (V/M/T/D)? V Please enter the VLAN# or ESC to abort (V1-V4) -> V1 The current V1 is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 Please enter the new port list -> • Key 1,2,3,8,10,14,15,17,18,19,20,22 Proceed with the assignment of the remainder of the ports into any VLAN grouping: • Enter [V2] • Key 1,4,5,6,8,12,13,19,21,23 • Enter [V3] • Key 1,7,9,11,16,19,21,23 Note: Until assigned, the menu displays **error** f

Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches When the optional module is being used, port 20 (for 065-7540) will be automatically disabled however, on the program of the switch configuration, port #20 will be showing the status of the optional module. The port setting for the optional module is slightly different from the regular port.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches MAC-based Trunking (16-Port) The Signamax 065-7530 switch provides a MAC-Based Trunking function, which is capable of a trunking group of either 2 to 4 ports. This makes a maximum bandwidth connection of 800Mbps (Full-Duplex). The MAC address is the address of the network interface card. When the packet is transmitting, it will contain the source address and destination address of the NIC.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches MAC-based Trunking Setting Follow these steps to configure trunking. • Enter [T] • Select [1] for 2-port trunking or select [2] for 4-port trunking View the results on the following illustration. 16-port 10/100 Base Ethernet Switch VLAN/Mode/Trunking/Default (V/M/T/D)? T 0 disable 1. 2-port 2.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches Port-based Trunking (24-Port) The FO-065-7540 switch provides you the capability of trunking either 2 or 4 ports, totaling either a 400 Mbps or an 800 Mbps (Full-Duplex) bandwidth connection. Trunking Rules There are some rules for setting Trunking: a. When configuring Trunking, the VLAN function will be automatically disabled for the entire switch. b.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches Port-based Trunking Setting Follow these steps to configure trunking. • Enter [T] • Select [A] for 2-port trunking or select [B] for 4-port trunking View the results on the following illustration. 24-port 10/100 Base Ethernet Switch VLAN/Mode/Trunking/Default (V/M/T/D) ? Select Trunk Port A. 1, 2 B.
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 Full-Duplex Switches Port-Based and MAC -Based Trunking Difference Port-Based Trunking was developed based upon the idea of using the physical ports on a port-based trunking switch that could work with another switch without the trunking function. This makes trunking simpler to implement in an environment where a variety of switches are used.
