1. Introduction
1.1. Product Overview
This user’s manual describes and illustrates the installation method and usage
of the 24-port Fast Ethernet Switch. The rack-mount switch (SS0224/
SE0224) introduced here provides twenty-four 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
ports to segment traffic, extend Fast Ethernet connection distance, and
convert data packets between different transmission speeds. This Fast
Ethernet Switch provides shielded RJ-45 ports both with 10Base-T and
100Base-TX Auto-negotiation capability and MDI/MDI-X auto crossover. All
ports in this switch support Full-Duplex and Half-Duplex operation modes.
Addressing the demand for fiber, the switch (SS0224/SE0224) provides two
optional multi-mode or single-mode fiber module supporting SC, ST, MT-RJ,
or VF-45 connector. Hence, the switch can provide maximum 26 ports
simultaneously, i.e. 24 10/100Base-T/TX ports plus two 100Base-FX fast
fiber ports.
Furthermore, this powerful Fast Ethernet Switch utilizes stored-and-forward
switching architecture that filters and forwards data after the complete data
packet is received and examined to be free of errors. With one set of status
LEDs for each individual port, the switch operation status can be easily
monitored. The switch is rack-mount design that can be mounted on the
industrial standard 19 inches rack in the enterprise wiring center.
For SS0224 only, the switch offers advanced software configurable features,
including individual port setting, port-based Virtual Local Area Networking
(VLAN), port-based trunking, 802.1p based QoS, and port mirroring.
