1. Introduction Driven by recent advances in desktop computing technology, today’s network applications have grown speed, power and the ability to pro- cess information. To meet the demands of these more powerful applica- tions, the switch has been developed to alleviate congestion and im- prove performance on your Ethernet network. The switch comes with multiple ports, with each capable of transmitting or receiving informa- tion simultaneously at full wire speed to control and allocate the net-

2. Installing the Switch The switch is designed to operate in workgroup environments without a complicated configuration procedure. It also features an auto-select 100- 240V, 50/60Hz power supply unit, which works in most countries around the world. Before connecting the supplied power cord into the switch, check to see that the cord voltage and current rating conform to the standards of the country of operation. 2.1 Packing List The switch has the following components shipped with it: • One swi

• Diagnostic LED indicators The indicators provide the operating status of the hub and the network ports. The status includes power, partition, duplex, activity, and collision. • Configuration switches Two configuration switch groups are located on the rear of the switch unit. The switches are used for configuring the operation settings for all ports. The settings include mode, speed, and duplex. 2.4 Installing an Optional Port Module Two types of port modules can be selected for the expansion p

Figure 2-6 100BASE-FX Port Module Before installing any optional modules, first turn the power to the switch off. To install a module into the expansion port slot, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the power switch. 2. Remove the cover of the slot. Figure 2-7 Remove the Slot Cover 3. Align the connector and insert the module until it is fully seated. Secure it to front panel.

2.5 Setting the Configuration Switches Open the configuration switch cover on the rear of the unit. There are two switch groups as illustrated below: Figure 2-9 Configuration Switches The following table specifies the definition of each switch: The M switch only functions for Port #9 and Port #10. Since Port #1 to Port #8 are fixed 10BASE-T ports, the speed of these ports is fixed at 10Mbps. No speed selection is available. D1-D8 switches are used for selecting the duplex mode for each 10BASE-T

When a operation mode is accepted by the remote device, the mode is used for the data transfer between the port and the connected device. Full-duplex opera- tion enables two devices to transfer data bi-directionally at the same time. For connecting to a hub, refer to the following table for the switch setting: Port Connecting to Setting Port #1 - #8 10BASE-T hub Half duplex (D=Off) Port #9, Port #10 10BASE-T hub Auto-negotiation mode Port #9, Port #10 100BASE-TX hub Auto-negotiation mode For con

3. Making Network Connections 3.1 Network Switched Ports There are ten ports on the switch for connection to ten LAN segments. Each segment is an independent shared network in one collision-do- main. Figure 3-1 Network Ports Port #1 to Port #8 are 10Mbps-based 10BASE-T switched ports and dedicated for connecting to eight separate 10Mbps Ethernet segments through individual 10BASE-T connections. Port #9 is a 10/100Mbps-based dual-speed switched port. It can support connection to either one 10Mbps
