ABOUT THIS GUIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Purpose This guide discusses how to install your 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch.
INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet and Switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times.
the existing investment in hardware, software, and personnel training. Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet 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.
networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can communicate as if a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead.

Standard 19” Rack-mount size UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents.
Installation The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers: Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges. Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight. Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.
Rack Mounting The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws. 16 -P ort POWE R SYST EM Link/AC T 10 /10 0M bp s Eth ern et Sm art Sw itc h FX F DX Figure 1.

Mount the Switch in the rack Connecting Network Cable The Switch supports 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and it runs both in half and full duplex mode. These ports are Auto-MDI type port. The Switch can auto transform to MDI-II or MDI-X type, so you can just make an easy connection that without worrying if you are using a standard or crossover cable.

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. Figure 3. Front panel of 16-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch LED Indicator Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network (see the LED Indicators chapter below).
Console Port An RS-232 DCE console port is set up and managed the switch via a connection to a console terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program. Rear Panel AC Power Connector Figure 4. Rear panel of the Switch AC Power Connector This is a three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug in the female connector of the provided power cord into this connector, and the male into a power outlet. Supported input voltages range from 100~240V AC at 50~60Hz.

CONFIGURATION This Switch is an unmanaged, but “smart” Switch because programmable administration parameters make the Switch operate more effectively than unmanaged (dumb) switches. This chapter will describe how to configure the Switch.
Configuring the Switch The 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch has a menu-driven console interface for smart switch configuration. The Switch can be configured through the serial port. A network administrator can manage, control and monitor the switch from the console program. This section indicates how to configure the Switch to enable its smart functions including: Setup There are two items such as Port Configuration and VLAN, shown in the Setup screen.
Login First execute the terminal emulation program on the remote workstation, and turn on the Switch. When login to the Switch, the following screen (Figure 10) prompt: Password: Figure 10. Login Input the password in the blank, and then press Enter to login Main Menu. If you manage the Switch for the first time, you should input the factory default password “admin” to login to the Switch.
Main Menu The main menu appears, as shown in Figure 11. Find the console keys in the lower part of the screen. Move to highlight a desired option by using Up Arrow, Down Arrow and Tab keys, and then press Enter key to confirm. There are four options: Setup, System, File, and Statistics, shown in the Main Menu screen. Figure 11.
Configuring Setup Setting Find that there are two items, including Port Configuration and VLAN in Setup menu, shown as Figure 12. Figure 12. Setup Menu Port Configuration In Port Configuration menu (Figure 13), each port’s (port 17: Fiber Port) Speed, Flow Control, and QoS can be controlled. Link Status is automatically determined by the Switch and can’t be shifted.
Figure 13. Port Configuration (1) Speed There are five modes— Auto, 100M Full, 100M Half, 10M Full, and 10M Half—for speed selections. To change the speed setting, highlight Port and enter the port number to select the desired port, next highlight Speed, click Enter, and use Space Bar to toggle back and forth between the five different options. (2) Flow Control This setting determines whether or not the Switch will be handling flow control.
(3) QoS If some ports need to have the priority to manage the data transfer, QoS should be change. QoS has two functions to alter, High and Low. The default settings of all ports’ QoS are High. To change the QoS setting, highlight Port and enter the port number to select the desired port. The default settings of QoS are High. Set QoS to determine which ports will always transfer their data first. (4) Link Status This value is automatically determined by the Switch and can’t be changed.
Figure 14. VLAN Configuration For example, there are five computers (PC1~PC5) connected to the Switch’s port 1~5. They had been divided into two VLAN groups: VLAN1 (PC1~PC4) and VLAN2 (PC2~PC5). There is no way to connect PC1 and PC5 shown as Figure 15. If PC1 has to connect to PC5, it should joint PC1 and PC5 in the same VLAN. VLAN1 1 2 3 4 X 2 3 VLAN2 4 5 Figure 15. There is no connection between PC1 and PC5 Using VLAN, it can divide the Switch into many independent small switches.
divided into two VLAN groups. Both VLAN groups are independent and there’s no link between these VLAN groups. The Switch can be regarded as two smaller switches. 16-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Smart Switch FX POWER Link/ACT S Y STE M FDX 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 16 X VLAN1 VLAN2 Figure 16.

Upload Configuration: Select this for back up a file the setting from the device. (in Hyper Terminal, Transfer > Receive File) Download Configuration: Select this for downlading the back up file to the device.
