1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the FM2008/2009 SNMP/Web Managed Switch.
The FM2008/2009 switches are compact desktop-sized switches that are
an ideal solution for the SOHO (Small Office or Home Office) network user.
They provide full wire-speed, Fast Ethernet switching that allows a
high-performance, low-cost connection. Each switch features
store-and-forward switching and can auto-learn and store source
addresses on an 8K-entry MAC address table.
Figure 1-1. The FriendlyNET FM2009 Switch
The FM2008/2009 both provide 8 switched, auto-sensing 10/100
Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports. Each switch will automatically detect the
speed of the device(s) connected to it, allowing the user to use both
10 and 100Mbps legacy devices. The 10Mbps bandwidth will
accommodate 10Mbps workgroup hubs while simultaneously
providing the 100Mbps bandwidth needed to accommodate
multimedia applications. In addition, each RJ-45 port supports Auto
MDI/MDI-X function.
The FM2009 switch also provides one 100Base-FX fiber port. Four
types of fiber connectors are available: SC, MT-RJ, VF-45
(multi-mode), and SC (single-mode). The fiber port can be used to
connect to a remote site up to 2 kilometers (multi-mode) or 15–60
kilometers (SC single-mode) away.

With its built-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring
the switch is easy: From cabinet management to port-level control
and monitoring, the user can visually configure and manage the
network via a web browser. Just click your mouse instead of typing
command strings. However, the switch can also be managed via
telnet, console, or SNMP management.
