INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit 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 (

increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a company’s existing investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel. The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet are essential to coping with the network bottlenecks that frequently develop as compute

Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local area

Installation The site where you place the Switch may greatly affect its performance. When installing, take the following into your consideration: Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight. Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation. Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipme

Rack Mounting The Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipments. Attach the mounting brackets to both sides of the Switch (one at each side), and secure them with the provided screws. Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the Switch in the rack. 7

CONFIGURING THE SWITCH This chapter explains how to configure the Switch to enable its smart functions. Port Speed & Duplex Mode By default, the Switch determines the transmission mode by auto- negotiation for any new twisted-pair or fiber connection after attaching the proper cable to a specific port. For 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports, if the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto- sensing process is initiated to select speed (10M
