Chapter 1 General Introduction Checklist Check the contents of your package for following parts: ♦ The Fast Ethernet Switch ♦ Power Cord ♦ User’s Manual If any of these pieces are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer immediately, if possible, retain the carton including the original packing material, and use them against to repack the product in case there is a need to return it to us for repair.
a network more efficiently than bridges or routers in most environments. In the following sections, the term “Switch” will represent Planet’s FSD-800, and “switch” for third part Ethernet switches. This Switch is a highly reliable network switch and is the ideal device for bridging Ethernet to Fast Ethernet workgroups or networks. Simple and cost-effective, the Switch complies with IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3, 100Base-TX, and 10Base-T.
connecting workgroup devices and desktops, companies no longer have to invest in expensive and inflexible switches engineered primarily for backbone implementations. Instead, companies can deploy scaleable, affordable switches that increase the aggregate bandwidth of the network by boosting throughput to the workgroups that need it most. Features ♦ 8-port 10/100base-TX Auto-Negotiation Ethernet Switching Hub ♦ Complies with the IEEE802.3 Ethernet and IEEE802.
♦ LED indicators for simple diagnostics and management ♦ Port#8 provides an extra port for MDI and MDI-X mode PC or hub Uplink.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description This section describes the hardware features of the Switch. For easier management and control of the Switch, familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before connecting any network device to the hub, read this chapter carefully. Front Panel The unit front panel provides a simple interface monitoring the Switch. It includes a power indicator for each port. Figure 1.
LED indicators LED Color Function Power Green (PWR) Link/ Act Green 100 Green FDX/COL Green Description This indicator lights green when the hub is receiving power, otherwise, it is off. This indicator green when the port is connected to a either 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbs Fast Ethernet station , If the station to which the hub is connected is powered off, or if there is a problem with the link, the LED will remain off.
100V~240VAC 50~60Hz Figure 2. Rear Panel of FSD-800 Hardware Installation 1. Place the Switch on a smooth surface 2. Connect the output cord of power supply to the AC-jack. 3. Connect hub or PC to one port of the Switch using Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP cabling. 4. Connect another hub or PC to the other port of Switch by following the same process as described in Step 3. Notice: Cable distance for FSD-800 The cable distance between the Switch and hub/PC should not exceed 100 meter.
may initially seem to work, it will soon cause data loss. All kinds of hub/PC can connect to switch by using straightthrough wires. The hub provides one additional RJ45 connector that is converted from port 1, labeled “Uplink” port. Either port 8 or Uplink port can be used at one time. Configuration 100Mbps Server to 10Mbps Hub Plug one end of the Category 5 UTP Cable into any one port of the Switch, and the other end of this cable into the RJ-45 of Fast Ethernet Adapter in the server.
Uplink Figure 3. 100Mbps File server to Hubs Connection 10Mbps Hub to 100Mbps Hub Plug one end of the Category 5 UTP Cable into one port of the Switch, and the other end of this cable into “Uplink” port of the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Hub. The cable length between these 2 connecting points should not exceed 100 meters. Plug one end of the Category 3 UTP Cable into one port of the Switch, and the other end of this cable into “Uplink” port of the 10Mbps Ethernet Hub.
Switch Operation 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. The information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch. Learning When one packet comes in from any port. The Ethernet Switch will record the source address, port no. and the other related information in address table.
located at different port from this packet comes in; the Ethernet Switch will forward this packet to the port where this destination address is located according to the information from address table. But, if the destination address is located at the same port with this packet comes in, when this packet will be filtered. Thereby increasing the network throughput and availability Store-and-Forward Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques.
cabling and adapters. Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switch, the source address and corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently used to filter packets whose destination address is on the same segment as the source address. This confines network traffic to its respective domain, reducing the overall load on the network. The Switch performs “Store-and-forward” therefore, no error packets occur.
If attached device is: 100Base-TX port will set to: • 10Mbps, no auto-negotiation 10Mbps • 10Mbps, with auto-negotiation 10/20Mbps (10Base-T/Full-Duplex) • 100Mbps, no auto-negotiation 100Mbps • 100Mbps, with auto-negotiation 100/200Mbps (100Base-TX/Full-Duplex) FSD-800 User's Manual 13

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If the Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. The Link LED is not Lit Solution: Make sure the switch configuration is consistent with the connecting device Check the cable connections. Performance is bad Solution: Check the full duplex status of the Ethernet Switch.
The address table may contain older information than of the address table of that node. Please power down to refresh the address information.
