A BOUT T HIS G UIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the 16(24)-port 10/100Mbps Auto-negotiation Fast Ethernet 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(24)-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch.
I NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet 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.
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridge 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.
solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The Switch were designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of user increase continuously. The Switch with its rack size is specifically designed for middle to large workgroups. The Switch provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions.
The Switch is an unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch that offers solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup bandwidth.
U NPACKING AND I NSTALLATION This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents.
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting. When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching. 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.
