Maximum Distance The maximum distance of a twisted pair cable is 100 meters (328 feet). Cable lengths that exceed this limit can result in poor or erratic network performance. Ports 1X to 7X — MDI-X Configuration An RJ-45 twisted pair port on a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet network device can be wired as either MDI or MDI-X. Twisted pair ports on personal computers, routers, and bridges are typically wired as MDI. Twisted pair ports on switches and hubs are usually MDI-X. When connecting tw

AT-FS709FC Series Installation Guide Introduction to Ethernet Switching An Ethernet switch is designed to manage the flow of data between the various devices that are connected to its ports. MAC Address Table The heart of an Ethernet switch is the Media Access Control (MAC) address table. Every device that you attach to an Ethernet network has a MAC address. This address is assigned to the device by the device’s manufacturer. For example, every Network Interface Card (NIC) that you install

The MAC address table in the AT-FS709FC Series Ethernet switch can store up to 4,000 MAC addresses. To prevent the table from becoming filled with addresses of end nodes that are no longer active, the switch has a MAC address aging timer. This timer will delete a MAC address from the table if it does not see a frame from the end node with that address on any port after five minutes (300 seconds). The aging timer also helps to ensure that the table is correct should an end node be moved fro

AT-FS709FC Series Installation Guide Flow Control In order for an Ethernet switch to maintain the orderly movement of data between the end nodes that are connected to its ports, it will occasionally need to signal an end node to stop sending data. This can occur under several situations. For example, when two end nodes are operating at different speeds, the switch, while transferring data between the nodes, might need to instruct the faster end node to stop transmitting data to allow the sl

System LEDs The switch has a series of LEDs that you can use to determine the operating status of the system and the ports. The LEDs are described in Table 1. Table 1 System and Port LEDs LED Color Function POWER Steady Green The switch is receiving power. LINK/ACT Steady Green The twisted pair or fiber optic port has established a valid link with the end node connected to the port. Blinking Green The switch is detecting activity on the twisted pair or fiber optic port. OFF The twisted pai
