1 Introduction This chapter introduces the Asanté FriendlyNet Fast Ethernet FS4000E Series 10/100Mbps Switches. It also provides an overview of Fast Ethernet and switching technology. FriendlyNet Fast Ethernet Switch Thank you for purchasing an Asanté FriendlyNet FS4000E Series Switch. The FriendlyNet FS4000E products are unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet switches. These switches are designed to address increasing network bandwidth needs and to accommodate future network expansion.
Introduction Each Switch features full plug-and-play installation. Indicators include power, link, 10/100Mbps, and activity LEDs for easy monitoring of Switch operation. In addition, the FS4016E switch also features FDP (full- or half-duplex) LED indicators, which provide a visual indication of duplex operation. For network expansion, each Switch has an uplink port that makes it easy to connect it to another Fast Ethernet switch or to the network backbone.
Performance Features Performance Features The FriendlyNet FS4002E, FS4004E, FS4008E and FS4016E have the following performance features: ❑ Asanté’s Intelligent Forwarding Technology feature provides automatic fragment free or store-and-forward switching, which ensures data integrity with minimum latency ❑ Asanté’s unique EDF (Efficient Data Flow Technology) minimizes communication delays between ports, which promotes maximum efficiency for time-sensitive business applications such as video and multimedi
Introduction Switching Technology An Ethernet switch is a device that can direct network traffic among several Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks. A switch increases network capacity and decreases network loading by making it possible for a LAN to be divided into multiple, unique dedicated segments. Switch Supports Network Expansion In Fast Ethernet networks, a switch allows chaining of hubs beyond the “tworepeater limit.
2 Installation This chapter explains how to install the FriendlyNet Fast Ethernet FS4000E Series Switch Family.
Installation Components This section describes the front- and back-panel layouts of the FS4000E Series Switches. The only front panel contol on the FS4002E, FS4004E and FS4008E Switches is the Uplink pushbutton switch, and the only control on the rear panel is the Ports Half Duplex Full NWay DIP switch. These units have the same LED indicator arrangement except for differences due to the number of ports. LED indicators are described in detail in Chapter 3. The FS4016E is similar to the other Switches.
Components Port DIP Switches Power Connector 12V DC N/A N/A 1 2 Figure 2-2 FriendlyNet FS4002E back panel ◆ Note: The FS4002E does not have a power switch. The FS4002E is automatically powered on as soon as the power cord is connected between the FS4002E and a power outlet. FS4004E The front panel of the FS4004E contains four 10/100 Mbps ports, one uplink switch button, and LED indicators. See Figure 2-3.
Installation ◆ Note: The FS4004E does not have a power switch. The FS4002E is automatically powered on as soon as the power cord is connected to the FS4004E and to a power outlet. FS4008E The front panel of the FS4008E consists of eight 10/100 Mbps ports, one uplink button switch, and LED indicators. See Figure 2-5.

There are no other controls or indicators. See Figure 2-8.
Installation Voltage Requirements Check the AC power line voltage used in your area. The AC power adapter included with the FS4002E and FS4004E Switches must match the utility power. The FS4008E and FS4016E are equipped with an internal power supply. Power sensing is automatic for all international utility power. There is no power switch on either of these units, they are powered on when the power cord is connected between the Switch and the power outlet.
Mounting Configurations Wall Mounting the FS4002E, FS4004E, and FS4008E The FS4002E, FS4004E, and FS4008E come with a wall-mount kit. The kit consists of screws and wall anchors. ▲ Important! The FS4016E cannot be wall-mounted without the optional wall mount kit, part number 99-00486--07.
Installation Rack Mounting the FS4008E or FS4016E The FS4008E and FS4016E come with a rack-mounting kit. ▲ Important! The FS4002E and FS4004E cannot be , installed in an equipment rack. The FS4008E or FS4016E can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. This rack can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install the Switch in an equipment rack: 1 Attach the two mounting brackets (supplied) on each side of the chassis. See Figure 2-10.
Connecting Network Devices Connecting Network Devices Before you connect network devices to the Switch, review the following guidelines: ❑ Make sure the network cable length is less than 100 meters (Category 5 and up) ◆ Note: Category 3 is acceptable for 10Base-T ❑ Use a straight-through twisted pair cable or a crossover cable when appropriate for either uplink or standard data ports ❑ When connecting two switches together (cascading switches), make sure that the link between them is no longer than
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.
Powering on the Switch Powering on the Switch This section describes how to apply power to the FriendlyNet FS4000E Series Switches. ◆ Note: This applies to the Uplink Port after powering on the Switch. If you are unsure of your cable type (straightthrough or crossover) and the Link LED associated with the port is not on, try pressing the Uplink button again. FS4002E and FS4004E The FS4002E/FS4004E Switches may be turned on with (or without) LAN segment cables connected.

3 LED Indicators This chapter explains how to interpret the front panel LED indicators on the FriendlyNet Fast Ethernet FS4000E Series Switches. LED Indicators on the Switch The LEDs on the Switch are used to facilitate monitoring and troubleshooting. With the exception of the Power LED, all front panel LEDs are used to monitor the status of each port. There are no LEDs on the rear panel.

This represents a system reset.
LED Indicators on the Switch LED Indicators for Port Connections Link LED The green Link LED indicates when a device is detected on the other end of the port Table 3-1 describes the possible status indications of the Link LEDs.
LED Indicators Activity LEDs The green Activity LEDs indicate transmit/receive activity. Table 3-4 describes the possible status indications of the Activity LEDs. Table 3-4 State Activity LED Status Indicators Status On Data is transmitting or receiving on this port. Off No data activity on this port.
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 adapter 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. Link LED is off Make sure that both switch and device on the other end are powered on.
