ABOUT THIS GUIDE This user’s guide tells you how to install your 5-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch, how to connect it to your Gigabit Ethernet network. Terms For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms “Switch” (first letter upper case) to refer to the 5-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch, and “switch” (first letter lower case) to refer to all Ethernet switches, including the 5-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Overview of this User’s Guide Introduction.
INTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the 5-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch, as well as providing some background information about Gigabit Ethernet and switching technology. Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.
packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by making it possible for a local area network to be divided into different segments which don’t compete with each other for network transmission capacity, giving a decreased load on each.
Support Full duplex transfer mode for 1000Mbps Full wire speed reception and transmission Store-and-Forward switching method Supports 8K absolute MAC addresses Supports 256KBytes RAM for data buffering Extensive front-panel diagnostic LEDs IEEE 802.
UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One SGD5 5-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch Four rubber feet with adhesive backing One external power adapter This User’s Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local supplier for replacement.
IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the switch. Front panel view of the Switch LED Indicators Comprehensive LED indicators display the conditions of the Switch and status of the network. A description of these LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators). Rear Panel The rear panel of the Switch consists of an DC power connector.
Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Check the technical specification section for information about the AC power input voltage. 1000BASE-T Ports: Five Gigabit Ethernet ports of 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation interface. LED Indicators The LED indicators of the Switch include Power, Link/Act, 1000Mbps and 100Mbps. The following shows the LED indicators for the Switch along with an explanation of each indicator.
