Chapter 1 Product Description This chapter contains the follows sections: “Overview” on page 12 “Key Features” on page 13 “Standards” on page 13 “Hardware Feature Description” on page 14 “A Few Ethernet Switching Basics” on page 16 “Network Topologies” on page 19 11
Chapter 1: Product Description Overview The AT-FS708 switch is an unmanaged eight-port Fast Ethernet switch. This switch offers a range of features and capabilities that can be used in a variety of network configurations and topologies, such as: Creating small workgroups with dedicated 10 megabits per second (Mbps) and 100 Mbps links to your network devices, such as workstations, servers, printers, and routers.
AT-FS708 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide Key Features The AT-FS708 switch has the following key features: Eight 10/100 Mbps (10Base-T / 100Base-TX) twisted pair ports with RJ-45 connectors System and port LEDs Auto MDI/MDI-X on all 10/100 Mbps twisted pair ports Support half- or full-duplex mode on all 10/100 Mbps twisted pair ports Auto-Negotiation (IEEE 802.3u-compliant) Flow control (IEEE 802.
Chapter 1: Product Description Hardware Feature Description The below sections describe the hardware features of the AT-FS708 Fast Ethernet switch: 10/100Base-TX Twisted Pair Ports Eight 10/100 Mbps twisted pair ports System and port LEDs AC power connector The AT-FS708 Fast Ethernet switch features eight twisted pair ports. The features of the twisted pair ports are explained in the following sections. Type of Connector All twisted pair ports feature 8-pin RJ-45 connectors.
AT-FS708 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide Maximum Distance Each twisted pair port has a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). Auto MDI/MDI-X All of the twisted pair ports on the switch are auto-MDI and IEEE 802.3abcompatible. The ports use the auto-MDI feature to automatically configure themselves as MDI or MDI-X when connected to an end-node. Consequently, you can use a straight-through twisted pair cable to connect any network device to a port.
Chapter 1: Product Description A Few Ethernet Switching Basics An Ethernet switch interconnects network devices, such as workstations, printers, routers, and other Ethernet switches, so that they can communicate with each other by sending and receiving Ethernet frames. MAC Address Table Every hardware device on your network has a unique MAC address. This address is assigned to the device by the device’s manufacturer.
AT-FS708 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide Duplex Mode Duplex mode refers to how an end-node receives and transmits data. If an end-node can receive or transmit data, but not both simultaneously, the end-node is operating in what is referred to as half-duplex mode. If an endnode can both receive and transmit data simultaneously, the end-node is said to be operating in full-duplex mode.
Chapter 1: Product Description A port operating in full-duplex mode uses PAUSE frames, as specified in the IEEE 802.3x standard, to stop the transmission of data from an endnode. Whenever the switch wants an end-node to stop transmitting data, it issues this frame. The frame instructs the end-node to cease transmission for a period of time specified within the frame. The switch continues to issue PAUSE frames until it is ready again to receive data from the endnode. This is referred to as flow control.
AT-FS708 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide Network Topologies The AT-FS708 switch can be used in a variety of network topologies, such as a standalone or cascade. Both topologies are described below. Standalone Topology Figure 3 illustrates the standalone topology where each end-node is directly connected directly to a 10/100Base-TX port on an AT-FS708 switch. This gives each end-node a dedicated 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps link.
Chapter 1: Product Description Cascade Topology Figure 4 illustrates the cascade topology where Port 1 on the AT-FS708 switch is connected to Port 8 on the AT-FS716E switch. Since Port 1 is wired as auto MDI/MDI-X, a crossover or straight-through Category 5 or better twisted pair cable can be used.
