Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about 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.
required make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features · The Switches were designed for easy installation and high Performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of user increase continuously. · The Switches with their small, compact size were specifically designed for small to middle workgroups.
Other key Features are: · Auto MDI/MDI-X on each port for Uplink to another switch, hub or repeater. · Store and forward switching scheme capability. As the result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments. · NWay Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-sensing of speed (10/ 100Mbps) thereby providing you with automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections. · Flow control for any port.

Chapter 3 IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS This section identifies all the major external components of the hub. Both the front and rear panels are shown, followed by a description of each panel’s feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter. Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the switches.
DC Power Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Jack: Check the technical specification section for information about the AC power input voltage. Since the switch does not include a power switch, plugging its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on. Numbered Use these jacks to connect stations to the switch.
Chapter 4 CONNECTING THE SWITCH This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast Ethernet network. PC to Switch A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any of the 5/8 numbered port. The LED indicators for PC connection depend on the LAN card capabilities.
Switch to Switches (other devices) The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover cable. When using straight or crossover cable, this is done from the any (MDI/MDIX) port of the Switch (Switch A) to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other devices.

APPENDIX A RJ-45 PIN SPECIFICATION When connecting your FSD-series 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you can directly connect the Switch to any Ethernet devices without making a crossover cable.
There are 8 wires on a standard UTP/STP cable and each wire is color-coded. The following shows the pin allocation and color of straight cable and crossover cable connection: Figure A-1: Straight-Through and Crossover Cable Please make sure your connected cable are with same pin assignment and color as above picture before deploying the cables into your network.
APPENDIX B SWITCH OPERATION Address Table The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. The information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch. Learning When one packet comes in from any port, the Ethernet Switch will record the source address, port no. and the other related information in address table.
The Switch performs “Store-and-forward” therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur. Auto-Negotiation The STP ports on the Switch have built-in “Auto-Negotiation.” This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a connection is established with another network device (usually at Power On or Reset). This is done by detect the modes and speeds at the second of both device is connected and capable of.
