ABOUT THIS GUIDE This user’s guide tells you how to install your 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps 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 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch, and “switch” (first letter lower case) to refer to all Ethernet switches, including the 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Overview of this User’s Guide z Introduction.
INTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps 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.
the switch, without interfering with any other segments. This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards. Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router and the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical.
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: z One SGD8 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch z Four rubber feet with adhesive backing z One AC power cord z This user’s guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
Gigabit Ethernet Switch installed on a Desktop or Shelf Rack Installation The 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the Switch’s front panel (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided.
Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the Switch in the rack. Installing the Switch in an equipment rack Connecting Network Cable The 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch supports eight 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports runs both half duplex and full duplex while they’re running in 10Mbps or 100Mbps and runs full duplex while they’re running in 1000Mbps.
IDENTIFYINGEXTERNAL COMPONENTS This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch Front Panel The front panel of the Switch consists of eight 1000BASE-T ports and LED indicators. Front panel view of the Switch z Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports of 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation interface. z Comprehensive LED indicators display the conditions of the Switch and status of the network. A description of these LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators).
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. The Switch LED indicators z POWER This indicator lights green when the Switch is receiving power, otherwise, it is off. z Link/Act These LED indicators are lighted up when there is a secure connection (or link) to the desired port. The LED indicators blinking whenever there is reception or transmission (i.e.
