OVERVIEW from the switch over the Ethernet cable without requiring its own separate power source. This capability gives network administrators centralized power control for devices such as IP phones and wireless access points, which translates into greater network availability. For each attached 802.3af-compliant device, the switch automatically senses the load and dynamically supplies the required power. The switch delivers power to a device using the two data wire pairs in UTP or STP.
ABOUT THE TIGERSTACK III 10/100 Description of Hardware 10/100BASE-T Ports The PoE switch base unit contains 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments” on page B-2.
DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE Port and System Status LED Indicators The switch base unit also includes a display panel for key system and port indications that simplify installation and network troubleshooting.

CHAPTER 2 NETWORK PLANNING Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.
NETWORK PLANNING Application Examples The switch is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described below. Supplying PoE The switch is an excellent choice for supplying power to connected PoE devices such as web cameras, IP telephones or access points.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES Collapsed Backbone The switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations in which significant growth is expected in the near future. You can easily build on this basic configuration, adding direct full-duplex connections to workstations or servers. When the time comes for further expansion, just connect to another hub or switch via one of the switch’s Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports.
NETWORK PLANNING Network Aggregation Plan With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), the switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. When up to eight switch units are stacked together, they form a single “virtual” switch containing up to 200 ports. The whole stack can be managed through the Master unit using a single IP address.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. Using a 1000BASE-SX multimode fiber (MMF) SFP transceiver, you can run a link up to 550 m, a 1000BASE-LX single-mode fiber (SMF) link can run up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-LH single-mode fiber (SMF) link can run up to 70 km. This allows the switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
NETWORK PLANNING Making VLAN Connections This switch supports VLANs which can be used to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This provides a more secure and cleaner network environment. VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly tagged to identify the VLAN group to which it belongs.
APPLICATION NOTES Application Notes 1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. 2. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub. 3.

Select the Master unit in the stack by pressing the push button in on only one of the switches. Only one switch in the stack can operate as the Master, all other units operate in slave mode. If more than one switch in the stack is selected as Master, or if no switches are selected, the stack will not function.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Connecting to a Power Source To connect a switch to a power source: 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC socket located at the back of the switch. 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 8.0-2.0A Figure 3-8 Power Socket 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket, AC power source. Note: For international use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the socket type in your country. 3.
CONNECTING TO THE CONSOLE PORT Connecting to the Console Port The DB-9 serial port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The command-line configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The pin assignments used to connect to the serial port are provided in the following table.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH 3-14 • Stop bit—One • Data bits—8 • Flow control—none
CHAPTER 4 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The switch is designed to be connected to 10 or 100 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using the optional 1000BASE-X, or 100BASE-FX SFP transceivers. If 802.3af-compliant PoE devices are connected to the switch’s 10/100 Mbps ports, the switch automatically supplies the required power.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Power-over-Ethernet Connections The PoE switch automatically detects an 802.3af-compliant device by its authenticated PoE signature and senses its required load before turning on DC power to the port. This detection mechanism prevents damage to other network equipment that is not 802.3af compliant.
TWISTED-PAIR DEVICES Cabling Guidelines The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs). See Appendix B for further information on cabling. Caution: Do not plug a normal phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS 3. If the device is a network card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See the section “Network Wiring Connections” on page 4-4) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch. Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Fiber Optic Devices An optional slide-in 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, or 100BASE-FX SFP transceiver may be used for backbone or remote connections, or for connecting to a high-speed server. Each single-mode fiber optic port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.
CONNECTIVITY RULES 3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other end to the port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation. 13 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 23 14 25 26 24 LC fiber connector Link/A ct PoE 25 26 Pwr Diag RPS Stack Mo PoE de /Link Figure 4-3 Making Fiber Port Connections 4.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS 1000BASE-T Cable Requirements All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The Category 5e and 6 specifications include test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5.

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these guidelines: 4-10 • Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable. • Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all network-connected equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify the devices to which it is connected. • Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported by the switch ports.
APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING Diagnosing Switch Indicators Table A-1 Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action PWR LED is Off • Internal power supply may be disconnected. Check connections between the switch, the power cord and the wall outlet. Diag LED is Amber • The system has detected a fault. Power cycle the switch to try and clear the condition. • If the condition does not clear, contact your dealer for assistance. Diag LED is Flashing Amber • Check that all stacking cables are properly connected.
TROUBLESHOOTING Diagnosing Power Problems with the LED Indicators The Power and RPU LED indicators work in combination to indicate power status as follows. Table A-2 Power/RPU LED Indicators Power LED RPU LED Status Green Green Internal power functioning normally; RPU is present. Green Amber Internal power functioning normally; RPU plugged in but faulty. Green Off Internal power functioning normally; RPU not plugged in. Amber Green Internal power faulty; RPU delivering power.
INSTALLATION Installation Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly. In-Band Access You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a web browser, or other network management software tools.
TROUBLESHOOTING Stack Troubleshooting If a stack fails to initialize or function, first check the following items: • Check that all stacking cables are properly connected. • Check if any stacking cables appear damaged. • Check that only one Master Select button is pressed in. • Check that all switches in the stack are powered on. After checking all items, reboot all the switches in the stack. If the problem is still not resolved, contact your dealer for assistance.
APPENDIX B CABLES Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, the twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable. Caution: DO NOT plug a normal phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.
CABLES 10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Data and PoE power are delivered on the standard two wire pairs (pins 1, 2, 3, and 6).
TWISTED-PAIR CABLE AND PIN ASSIGNMENTS Straight-Through Wiring If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.) You must connecting all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to support Gigabit Ethernet connections.
CABLES Crossover Wiring If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.) You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to support Gigabit Ethernet connections.
TWISTED-PAIR CABLE AND PIN ASSIGNMENTS 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI-X and MDI port pinouts. These ports require that all four pairs of wires be connected. Note that for 1000BASE-T operation, all four pairs of wires are used for both transmit and receive.

FIBER STANDARDS Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try to correct the problem: 1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category 5e or Category 6 cables. 2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link. 3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
