Product Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Asanté FriendlyNET FS4016P.These switches were
designed to give you the ultimate in performance, flexibility, ease-of-use, and reliability.
Your Asanté FriendlyNET FS4016P can increase performance on your network by bringing full Ether-
net bandwidth to individual workgroups, or straight to the desktop, instead of requiring all stations to
share the bandwidth of a single network.The switch’s 100Mbps Fast Ethernet capability can eliminate
bottlenecks in connections to servers, or can link 10Mbps workgroups to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet net-
work backbone.
For straight-through 10Base-T/100Base-TX connection to servers and workstations, the switch sup-
ports full-duplex connection, effectively doubling the total throughput on individual links.The switch’s
store-and-forward switching architecture forwards packets to their destination with a minimum of delay.
The switches can be placed on a tabletop or wall-mounted, and provide the ideal solution for your
small, medium, or large Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network. It is designed to comply fully with the IEEE
802.3 Ethernet and 802.3u Fast Ethernet standards.

The Asanté FriendlyNET FS4016P is designed for easy “plug and play” installation.Before you con-
nect your switch to other devices, there are several issues you should keep in mind:
∆ When connecting the switch to a workstation using unshielded twisted pair
cable, you must make sure that the cable length is not greater than 100 meters.
10Base-T twisted pair Ethernet cabling should be category 3 or better, and
100Base-TX twisted pair Fast Ethernet cabling should use tested category 5
cabling.
∆ Network cable segments can be connected to, or disconnected from the
switch while the power is on.Plugging in or removing network cables while your
switch is operating will not interrupt the operation of the switch.
∆ When placing your switch, you need to avoid dusty locations and electromag-
netically noisy areas.
Desktop Placement
You can place the switch on a table.In this case, use the four self-adhesive feet, which are provided
with the Asanté FriendlyNET FS4016P for cushioning purposes. Stick them on the four corners of the
bottom surface of the switch, as shown in diagram below to cushion it against vibration.

not exceed 100 meters, including all patch cables and cross-connect wires.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 connector on the switch, and the other end to the sta-

Using the Uplink connection
To connect a switch or hub, note the following:
1. One normal/uplink push button on the front panel allows users to select to connect to a PC or a
hub/switch. The default setting is in the Normal (MDI-X) position, i.e. the out position.The port is
configured to connect with a PC.When the push button is pressed in (MDI), it allows users to con-
nect with a hub or a switch using straight-through twisted pair cable.
∆ Use a straight-through cable to connect uplink port or use a crossover cable to
connect to any port except uplink port. (Do not connect both uplink ports
together, and do not use a crossover cable to connect with the uplink port).

Full/Auto Dip Switch
By default each port is capable of full autonegotiation.In addition, each port may be manually config-
ured for full-duplex operation using the DIP switches on the rear panel of the switch.
∆ If a port is configured for full-duplex operation, you must ensure that the link
partner is also set for full duplex. Don’t connect a hub to a port that is set for full
duplex.
