Dimension ES-1016A/ES-1024A Ethernet Switch Preface Congratulations on your purchase of the Dimension ES-1016A/ES-1024A Ethernet Switch. About the Dimension ES-1016A/ES-1024A Ethernet Switches The Dimension ES-1016A/ES-1024A switch is a cost effective Fast Ethernet switch ideal for setting up a small workgroup or for bridging two separate networks. The ES-1016A comes with 16 10/100M ports and the ES-1024A with 24 10/100M ports. General Syntax Conventions For brevity’s sake, we will use “e.g.
Dimension ES-1016A/ES-1024A Ethernet Switch Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of your switch. 1.1 Introduction The switch is a multi-port switch that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. The switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking.
Dimension ES-1016A/ES-1024A User’s Guide • IEEE 802.1p supports two priority queues for outgoing traffic. • Back-Pressure-Base flow control on Half-duplex ports. • Pause-Frame-Base flow control on Full-duplex ports. • Store-and-forwarding switching architecture for abnormal packet filtering. • Supports automatic address learning. • No-Blocking full wire speed architecture. • Fan free design. • Embedded 4K MAC address table providing 4000 MAC addresses entries.
Dimension ES-1016A/ES-1024A Ethernet Switch Auto-negotiation regulates the speed and duplex of each port, based on the capability of both devices. Flowcontrol allows transmission from a 100Mbps node to a 10Mbps node without loss of data. Auto-negotiation and flow-control may require disablement for some networking operations involves legacy equipment. Disabling the auto-negotiation is accomplished by fixing the speed or duplex of a port.
Dimension ES-1016A/ES-1024A User’s Guide The following figure depicts a typical segment bridge application of the switch in an enterprise environment. The two workgroups, the standalone server and the two servers can all communicate with each other and share all network resources.
Dimension ES-1016A/ES-1024A Ethernet Switch Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Installation This chapter describes the hardware installation and gives a functional overview of the switch. 2.1 Installation Option The switch is suitable for an office environment where it can be rack mounted on standard EIA racks or as a standalone. For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the switch.
Dimension ES-1016A/ES-1024A User’s Guide Figure 2-1 Attaching Rubber Feet Do not block the ventilation holes. Leave space between switches when stacking. 2.1.2 Rack-Mount Installation The switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your switch on a standard EIA rack using the included rack-mounting kit. Step 1.
