1 Introduction This chapter introduces Asanté FriendlyNET 7000 Series Gigabit Switches and provides an overview of switching technology. Introducing the FriendlyNET 7000 Series Thank you for purchasing an Asanté FriendlyNET 7000 Series Gigabit Switch. FriendlyNET 7000 products are unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet switches which provide built-in or optional Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. These switches are designed to address increasing network bandwidth needs and to accommodate future network expansion.
Introduction A Media Independent Interface (MII) slot is built in to the back panel of all 7000 Series Switches. An Asanté 100 FX MII module can easily be plugged in to allow for 100Base-FX connections.
Introducing the FriendlyNET 7000 Series Table 1-2 Configuration Options: 1.5 Rack-Unit High (2.
Introduction ❑ Complies with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet, IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet, and IEEE 802.
Switching Technology To ensure network reliability, a switch monitors each of its ports for signal quality. The switch automatically disconnects stations transmitting excessive noise, then reconnects them when the problem is resolved. A switch also automatically drops data packets that exceed the maximum allowable length. This prevents a device from blocking the network by transmitting continuous data streams or extra-long packets. The FriendlyNET 7000 Series Switch supports store-and-forward switching.

2 Installation This chapter describes the components and explains how to install, mount, and apply power to your FriendlyNET 7000 Series Gigabit Switch.
Installation Components This section describes the front- and back-panel layouts of the FS7108 and FS7016 Switches. The only control on the front panel is the uplink push-button switch. The only control on the rear panel is the power switch. The LED indicators are described in detail in Chapter 3. The uplink push-button switch is connected to a single port on each Switch. In Normal position, the port associated with the uplink switch operates like any other port on the unit.
Expansion Modules FS7016 Base Unit The front panel of the FS7016 contains sixteen 10/100Mbps ports, two expansion slots, one uplink switch button, and LED indicators. See Figure 2-3.
Installation To install the Gigabit SX XP Module: 1 2 Power down the unit. 3 Align the bottom of the Gigabit module with the rails on the inside of the expansion slot. See Figure 2-5. Remove the metal cover from the front of an empty expansion slot (located on the Switch’s front panel) using a small Phillips screwdriver.
100 FX MII Module ◆ Note: Each 10/100 expansion module provides 8 ports which are numbered 1 through 8. If the module is installed in Option Slot A, the ports on the module will correspond to LED indicators A1–A8. If the module is installed in Option Slot B, the ports on the module will correspond to LED indicators B1–B8.
Installation 2 Align the bottom of the MII module with the rails on the inside of the MII slot. 3 Slide the MII module into the MII slot until it stops, then push the module in until it seats with the connector. See Figure 2-7. MII Module Figure 2-7 Installing an MII module 4 Screw the module into place by tightening the thumbscrew on the module’s cover. See Figure 2-8.
Mounting Configurations Desktop Mounting To mount the Switch on a desktop or shelf: 1 Attach the four rubber feet (supplied) to the bottom of each corner on the Switch. See Figure 2-9.
Installation 2 Mount the Switch in the equipment rack by screwing the mounting brackets to the equipment rack. See Figure 2-11.
Connecting Network Devices Connecting Network Devices This section describes how to connect computers, hubs and switches to the FS7000 Switch, and how to connect multiple FS7000 Switches together.
Installation Connecting a Hub or a Switch to the Asanté Switch ❑ Use a two-pair Category 5 UTP straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors ❑ Connect the hub’s uplink port to any of the Switch’s ports. See Figure 2-13.
Voltage Requirements Cascading Multiple FS7000 Switches Multiple FriendlyNET 7000 Series Switches can be connected together (called cascading). See Figure 2-15.

3 LED Indicators This chapter explains how to interpret the front-panel LED indicators on FriendlyNET 7000 Series Gigabit Switches. There are no LEDs on the rear panel. The LEDs are used to facilitate monitoring and troubleshooting. With the exception of the Power LED and MII Power LED, all front-panel LEDs are used to monitor the status of each port.
LED Indicators FriendlyNET 7000 Series Gigabit Switch A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 100/10Mbps Full/Half 100/10 Mbps Full/Half Link/Data Link/Data 100/10Mbps Full/Half Power Link/Data 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 100/10 Mbps Full/Half Link/Data Power Figure 3-2 FS7000 LEDs Units with a Gigabit SX XP module installed have the following additional LEDs for monitoring the status of the Gigabit port: ❑ Power ❑ Link/Data ❑ Full Duplex/Collision Power On LED
LED Indicators for Port Connections LED Indicators for Port Connections All FS7000 Series Switches include 100/10Mbps, Full/Half Duplex and Link/ Data LED indicators for each 10/100 port on the Switch. On the FS7108, the ports and LEDs are numbered 1–8. On FS7x16 Switches, the ports and LEDs are numbered 1–16, A1–A8, and B1–B8. The LEDs for ports A1–A8 and B1–B8 are only active if a 10/100 8-port expansion module is installed.
LED Indicators Link/Data LED The green Link/Data LED indicates whether a device is detected on the other end of the port, and whether activity is occurring. Table 3-4 describes the possible status indications of the Link/Data LEDs.
LED Indicators on Gigabit SX Module Full Duplex/Collision LED The Gigabit module’s green or amber Full Duplex/Collision LED indicates port operation in full- or half-duplex mode, and whether collisions are occurring on the port. Table 3-3 describes the possible status indications of the Gigabit Full Duplex/Collision LED.
LED Indicators Page 3-6
A Troubleshooting Table A-1 describes how to troubleshoot problems with your network and/or the Switch by monitoring the Switch’s LEDs. Table A-1 Troubleshooting Problem Action Power LED is off Make sure the power cord is connected to the power outlet and is properly inserted into the power connector on the switch. Determine if the power outlet is functional by plugging another device into the receptacle.
