Quick Installation iii
Quick Installation
The Fast SwitcHub-2se contains 2 Ethernet ports that can operate at full-duplex or
half-duplex. One of these ports supports 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T (twisted-
pair) connection, while the other port supports 100BASE-FX (fiber optic)
connection. The smart design built into the front display panel and configure
options, provides a friendly interface that simplifies installation and network
troubleshooting. If you are already familiar with basic network operations, you
should be able to install this switch as described below:
1. Unpack the Fast SwitcHub-2se.
2. Find a location close to the network devices you need to connect, and within
easy reach of an electrical outlet.
3. For 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T devices, connect a workstation or server to
the Port 1 MDI-X station port. Otherwise, you can connect to another switch
or other network interconnection device by running straight-through twisted-
pair cable between the MDI daisy-chain port on one device (e.g., Port 1 on
this switch) to the MDI-X station port on the other device. Use 100W
Category 5 STP or UTP cable to connect to the switch, and be sure the
length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters.
For integrating legacy networks, Port 1 provides for connection via either
100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T. It uses auto-negotiation to dynamically set the
required transmission speed at 10 or 100 Mbps.
4. For 100BASE-FX devices, connect to Port 2 (i.e., connecting the Rx/Tx
jacks on the target device to the Tx/Rx jacks on the switch). When
connecting a node to Port 2, the maximum cable length is 2 kilometers if you
are have a dedicated link (i.e., full-duplex mode); otherwise, the maximum
length is 412 meters for a shared collision domain (i.e., a half-duplex
connection). Refer to Chapter 2 for a more detailed description of
calculating the maximum length permitted for fiber optic cable.

5. Set the transmission mode for each port to full or half-duplex. Full-duplex
communications can only be supported for a dedicated link (i.e., set the
communications to half duplex if you are connecting to a shared collision
domain). Transmission must be set to full duplex or half duplex depending
on the mode supported by the connected device. You must manually set the
required mode with the configure button (Chapter 2).
6. Verify network communications by ensuring that -
• you have made all the necessary connections
• you can access any connected resources
• the switch’s indicator LEDs are functioning properly
Note: For devices connected directly to either port on the switch, it will
automatically detect transmission speed (10/100 Mbps). However, unless
the connected devices are operating at half-duplex (i.e., system default), you
will have to manually set the transmission mode via the configure button.
(Refer to Full/Half Duplex Mode Selection in Chapter 2).
If you encounter any problems in installing the Fast SwitcHub-2se, refer to Chapter
2 for a detailed description of installation procedures, or to Appendix A for help
in troubleshooting.
