Ethernet Switching Technology Ethernet switching technology has dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network, eliminating congestion problems inherent with Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol, and has greatly reduced unnecessary transmissions. This revolutionized networking in the following ways: First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous transmissions over the same port (Full-duplex mode), which essentially doubled the network bandwidth; Sec

Rear Panel The rear panel contains the Network Management module and the 3-pronged power plug. The switch uses AC in the range of 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. The Network Management module holds the Flash memory, and has two LEDs: CPU Fail: The CPU Fail LED is lit when the switch’s self test and initialization are in progress, after powering on or rebooting the switch CPU Activity: The CPU Activity LED is lit when the switch is displaying network management information Mounting Co

• FX100-MMC • FX100-SMC15 • FX100-SMC30 • FX100-SMC60 The FX100 modules are designed to extend the allowable distance between the switch and other network devices. The maximum distance that can be achieved with fiber cabling is 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to 15, 30 or 60 kilometers (single-mode fiber). Front Panels The front panels of the FX100 modules consist of LED indicators, two thumbscrews, a DIP-switch for half and full-duplex mode (full-duplex is the default) a

Chapter 3. Network Application This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the switch can be used. In general, the switch is designed to be used as a segment switch. That is, with its large address table (8000 MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments. You can use the switch to connect PCs, workstations, and servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the switch. The switch automatically learns nodes add

Chapter 4. Network Configuration This chapter explains how to configure console management via a direct connection to the console port of the switch. Console management involves the administration of the switch via a direct connection to the RS-232 console port. This port is a female DB-9 connector. From the main menu of the console program, the user has access to manage the functions of the switch. Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port The console configuration (out-of-
