Chapter 1 Introduction MIL-S1000 switches are multi-speed network devices combining Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet capabilities in a single compact, rack-mountable cabinet. Combining 10Mbps Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in one unit allows these switches to unclog existing LANs and provide a path to efficient, high-speed networking.

Device Description, Features and Capabilities MIL-S1000 Front and Rear Panels This section describes the features on the front and rear panels of the MIL-S1000 unit. Figure 1-2. Front Panel Figure 1-3. Rear Panel All LED status indicators are located on the FRONT panel of the switches. They provide a real-time indication of system and operational status. The ports for connections to other devices and networks are also on the front panels, along with the crossover switches.
LED Indicators Power Explanation The red power indicator is illuminated when power is provided to the switch and the switch is turned in the ON position. Green Link/Activity indicators are illuminated when the switch detects a connection to that port. The indicator Link/Activity blinks when data is transmitted over the network connected to that port. When a port is not connected, the indicator is off.
" Power Switch The power switch, located on the rear panel, controls the power supply.

Chapter 2 Planning your Network Before you install your MIL-S1000, you should review the guidelines for setting up Ethernet networks. Further, you should plan your network to take maximum advantage of its switching capabilities. 10Base-T Ethernet Network Guidelines # The maximum length of a 10Base-T cable segment is 100 meters (328 feet). # The maximum number of nodes on a 10Base-T segment is one (1) for regular 10Base-T. # The recommended cable type is EIA/TIA Category 3 or higher.
100Base-TX Ethernet Network Guidelines # The maximum length of a 100Base-TX cable segment is 100 meters (328 feet). # The maximum number of hubs on a 100Base-TX segment is one if using Class I hubs and two if using Class II hubs. # The recommended cable type is EIA/TIA Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair. # The maximum network diameter is 200 meters (656 feet) when using Class I hubs and 205 meters (672.5 feet) when using Class II hubs.
1000BASE-SX and LX Network Guideline 1000BASE-SX # In multi-mode, the fiber optic segment cannot exceed 220m(62.5/125µm) or 500m(50/125µm) in length. 1000BASE-LX # In multi-mode, the fiber optic segment cannot exceed 550m(62.5/125µm), 550m(50/125µm) in length. # In single-mode the fiber optic segment cannot exceed 10km(9/125µm). Network Planning Using a switch, such as a MIL-S1000, can expand network topologies and enhance network performance.
To expand your network topology or enhance network performance, use the MIL-S1000 as collapsed backbone or to increase file server performance, to segment large networks, to interconnect 10Mbps networks with 100Mbps networks, or to overcome the limitations of 10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks. Expanded Networks You can expand your 10Base-T or 100Base-TX or 1000Base-SX/LX network beyond its hub limit by adding a MIL-S1000. 10Base-T Networks 10Base-T Networks are limited to four hubs between any two nodes.
100Base-TX Networks The hub limit of a 100Base-TX network depends on the class of the hub in the network. With a Class I hub, the network is limited to one hub. With a Class II hub, the network is limited to two hubs. However, you can expand your 100Base-TX network that includes either class of hub by adding a MIL-S1000. With the MIL-S1000 added to your 100Base-TX network, you can separate that network into individual segments with their own collision domains.
Collapsed Backbone Link Traditionally, bridges and routers have been used to link local area networks into one interconnected network. But these devices involve difficult management and long traffic delays. The MIL-S1000 providers multiport bridges with short delays, easy setup and maintenance, making it ideal for backbone links. Also, the Built-in filtering on this hub deceases network traffic, while the multiple ports that communicate simultaneously increases network performance.
Figure 2-3. MIL-S1000 100/1000 Hub in a collapsed backbone link Fileserver Link 100Base Solution With a fileserver link, you can increase file server performance by increasing the Hub's bandwidth between one or more fileservers and the workgroups they serve. If you connect 10Mbps workgroup hubs to the 10Mbps ports on the MIL-S1000, traffic in one workgroup will not interfere with the performance of another workgroup.
Figure 2-4. Fileserver Link Connecting servers through 100Base-TX ports increases performance to the clients, even if the clients are on 10Base-T segments. Because multiple 10Base-T devices can access the file server at the same time through a 100Base-TX connection, performance increases to beyond the performance of standard 10Base-T or 100Base-TX hubs.
1000Base Solution You can upgrade your server with a Gigabit Ethernet NIC, and introduce a Gigabit backbone switch too. This contains several switch ports which provides much faster access to your server with minimum disruption. See Figure 16. Multiport Bridge with High-Bandwidth Backbone With a MIL-S1000, you can divide large network to ease congestion, and connect 10Base-T networks to 100BaseTX or 100Base to 1000Base networks for more flexibility.
Figure 2-5. Used as a Multiport Bridge Using your hub, you can also connect 10Base-T networks and 100Base-TX and 1000Base-SX/LX networks together for more flexibility in your network topology. As in the Figure 16 shown above, the MIL-S1000 can connect through one port to a 10Base-T network, and through another port, connect to a 100Base-TX port, creating one network. This switch can also connect to a 1000Base-LX or SX port.
Chapter 3 Installation The MIL-S1000 can be installed quickly and easily. However, for an installation with minimum impact on the existing network, please read this chapter carefully. Installing a MIL-S1000 involves three steps: 1. Choosing a location 2. Supplying power 3. Connecting the switch Choosing A Location The location of the switch is based on the following criteria: " Avoid dusty locations. " Avoid electromagnetic noisy areas, such as locations close to power transformers or radio transmitters.
switch on a desktop or in a rack. Figure 3-1. Attaching self-adhesive feet for desktop installation Rack Installation Your switch comes with two rack mounting brackets. you can use these brackets to mount the switch on an EIA standard 19" rack. Attach the brackets to the switch, using the screws provided. Figure 3-2. Attaching the mount brackets for rack installation Next, install the switch in the rack using the screws provided to attach the brackets to the rack.
The MIL-S1000 switch is equipped with a universal switching power supply that accepts AC input voltages from 100 to 240VAC and 50 to 60 Hz. To supply power to your switch: 1. Plug the connector of the power cord into the power port on the rear panel of your switch. 2. Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC wall outlet. 3. Set the power switch to ON and verify that the Power LED is lit. If it is not, check the following: " The power switch is in the ON position.
Connecting the Switch You can connect your switch to network devices such as desktops and workgroups or to other hubs. Before connecting your switch to a desktop or workgroup make sure that: # The 10Base-T twisted pair Ethernet cabling is Category 3 or above. # The 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling is tested Category 5. # The 100Base-FX fiber cabling is 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber. # The 1000Base-SX/LX fiber cabling is 50/125, 62.5/125 micron multi-mode or 9/125 micron single-mode fiber.
Chapter 4. Module Installation and Removal WARNING Before installing the Modules into a MIL-S1000, you must disconnect the Switch from the main power supply. Handling the Modules The Module can be easily damaged by electrostatic discharge. To prevent damage, please observe the following: # Do not remove Modules from their packaging until you are ready to install it into a Switch. # Do not touch any of the pins, connections or components on the Modules.
Module Setup and Installation 1. Ensure that the Switch is disconnected from the main power supply and that you are wearing an anti-static wrist-band connected to a suitable grounding point. 2.
