B. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/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. Among them, 100BASE-T (Fast Eth

segments. The switch, without interfering with any other segments, automatically forwards traffic that needs to go from one segment to another. By doing this the total network capacity is multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards. For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating problems of chaining hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit.” A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making

The Switches are a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switches now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the network. The Switches combine dynamic memory allocation with store-and- forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee agai

The Front Panel LevelOne 16Port 10/100Mbps 13” Fast Ethernet Switch Port Speeds 100/10Mbps TP Ports Each 100/10Mbps TP port provides an Auto-Negotiation function that senses for the attached device's maximum operating speed and automatically sets the Switch to operate at that speed. Each TP port uses RJ-45 connector that allows network TP cables to be easily attached or removed. Users only need to connect a network device into any TP port and the Switch will do the rest. Crosso

D. HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS Prior to Installation Before installing this LevelOne FSW-1611TX 16Port 10/100Mbps 13” Fast Ethernet Switch and connecting it to network devices, it is important to plan the network's layout. Things you should consider include: ? Dedicated Bandwidth: File servers and other high-traffic hardware improve their performance if they have their own dedicated 10Mbps or 100Mbps bandwidth. ? Full-Duplex: Determine which devices support Full-Duplex connections. ?

they can receive data. • In Full-Duplex mode data can be transmitted and received at the same time. However: a) Full-Duplex transmission is only possible between two devices with a dedicated link (e.g., Switch-Switch, Switch-PC) b) Both devices must have Full-Duplex capability c) Both devices must be set to Full-Duplex (e.g. Auto- Negotiation – Auto-Negotiation, Non-Auto-Negotiation to Non- Auto-Negotiation) • The 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T ports on the Switch detect and set the line's ope

10Mbps, with Auto-Negotiation 20Mbps Bandwidth (10BASE-T, Full-Duplex) F Helpful Warning: If the attached device is set to a fixed mode (ex: Forced Full-Duplex) it will not operate as an Auto-Negotiation device. MAC Address Table Every Ethernet data packet includes both source and destination addresses. This 6-byte ID is called the MAC (Media Access Control) Address. The Switch can automatically learn and store MAC addresses. However, the MAC address table is volatile: it disappears

E. Troubleshooting I. Link LED does not lit after cable is connected to the port. Ø Verify that the other end of the cable is connected to a device that is powered on and on-line. Ø For TP cable connection to another Switch or Hub, verify that only one end of the cable is connected to a “Crossover” port. II. 100BASE-TX port Link LED is lit, Collision LED is blinking, but traffic is irregular. Ø Check that the attached device is not set to dedicated Full-Duplex. (Some devices use a
