Caution Circuit devices are sensitive to static electricity, which can damage their delicate electronics. Dry weather conditions or walking across a carpeted floor may cause you to acquire a static electrical charge. To protect your device, always: • Touch the metal chassis of your computer to ground the static electrical charge before you pick up the circuit device. • Pick up the device by holding it on the left and right edges only.

1-1 Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The Levelone 8/16 Port Fiber Switch is a standard switch that meets all IEEE 802.3u/802.3x specifications. Fast Ethernet Switch is a cost-effective solution for easing your network congestion problem on existing shared-hub network by breaking up the collision domain and by multiplying the network performance.
2-1 Chapter 2 Installing & Network Connection Installation Þ The fiber TX, RX cables must be paired at both ends. Þ Þ Repeat the above step, as needed, for each fiber port to be connected to a 100Base-FX device. The fiber port can be up-linked to an upper level hub's port. Þ Verify that the voltage of AC power is correct and plug in AC power cord. Note: 1.
3-1 Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Network troubleshooting requires patience and logic. Generally speaking, the cabling and workstation configurations are the likely first suspects; network hardware is usually last on the list. The nature of the hub design dictates that it is more likely for an entire hub to fail instead of just a single port. Cabling Problems Improper Cabling is the primary cause of most non-workstation problems on Ethernet network, particularly for 100 Base-FX networks.
A-1 16 Port Fiber Switch Technical Specifications Standards Compliance : IEEE802.3u and 802.3x 100Base-FX Transmission Mode : Full or Half duplex Transmission Speed : 100Mbps Packet forwarding/filtering Rate: 148,800 packets / sec full wire rate on 100Mbps forwarding and filtering MAC Address and Self-learning: up to 12K Buffer Memory : 1024KB for 16 ports Flow control : IEEE802.3x compliant for full-duplex Back pressure flow control for half-duplex Network Interface : ¾ 16ST.
A-2 8 Port Fiber Switch Technical Specifications Standards Compliance : IEEE802.3u and 802.3x 100Base-FX Transmission Mode : Full or Half duplex Transmission Speed : 100Mbps Packet forwarding/filtering Rate: 148,800 packets / sec full wire rate on 100Mbps forwarding and filtering MAC Address and Self-learning: up to 12K Buffer Memory : 1024KB for 8 ports Flow control : IEEE802.3x compliant for full-duplex Back pressure flow control for half-duplex Network Interface : ¾ 8ST.
3-2 Workstation Problems Most non-cabling problems result from improper configuration of the network interface card (NIC) and its corresponding driver. The following points will be helpful: • Like other add-on cards in the workstation or server, NIC must have unique memory address, I/O address, and interrupt. The settings on a particular card must not conflict with the settings on any other card in the same station.
2-2 For connection to Router, Bridge, or regular 100Base-X Hub, please refer to the device’s Technical Manual for respective bit-time delay. Switch Hub Cascading and Long-Haul Connection Theoretically, the switch hub breaks up the collision domain in hub cascading that you may up-link the hubs unlimitedly. In practice, the network extension (cascading levels & overall diameter) is limited by the timing requirement--time-out specification--of your application software and network operating system.
