Preface 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. In the past, expensive routing equipment was used to reduce the congestion under heavy loads.
Introduction Specifications The 8 Port Pro-Switch/8F is a high-speed, professional-grade Fast Ethernet switch that provides wire-speed, a Fast Ethernet switching technology that allows high-performance, low-cost connections up to FullDuplex, 100Mbps Ethernet networks. With the Fiber Optic ports, this is a perfect, flexible backbone switch. Key Features ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Standards: 100Base-FX, IEEE 802.
Network Application Hardware Description This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the Switch is used. The Pro-Switch/8F is designed to be used as a backbone switch. With its large address table (4000 MAC address), Fiber ports, and high performance, it is ideal for connecting WANS to LAN network segments. This Section describes the hardware of the Pro-Switch/8F and gives a physical and functional overview of its features.
DIP-Switch Setup Power On The DIP-switch is used to configure full- or Half-duplex switching. The DIPswitch setup is as follows: Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the Switch. The other side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The internal power supply in the Switch works with AC in the voltage range 100240VAC, frequency 50~60Hz. Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.
Rackmount Installation Included with the Pro-Switch/8F are brackets allowing the switch to be mounted in a standard EIA-sized, 19-inch rack. The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. LEDs Per Device: Per Port: Power LNK (Link) ACT (Activity) FDX (Full Duplex) Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch: A. Align one bracket with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the small bracket screws.
Connecting to Power General Installation Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of the switch, and then plug the cord into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 250 VAC. This chapter presents step-by-step installation instructions for this eightport Ethernet Switch. Selecting a Site for the Switch As with any electronic device, you should place the Switch where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference.
