• 10/100 N-Way Auto-Negotiation or Forced Mode
By default, Compex DS2216 is configured to auto-negotiate for a
highest possible operation mode between two nodes. Alternatively, the
users are able to manually configure the speed (10/100Mbps) and the
transmission mode (full/half duplex) of the ports.
• 10/100 Mbps Switching Function
A cost-effective 100Mbps and 10Mbps switching function in single
unit. Divides a network into smaller shared network groups,
eliminating unnecessary traffic, multiplying available bandwidth, and
relieving congestion on server paths.
• 10/100 Mbps Integration
16 high-speed ports permit Ethernet workgroups to communicate with
Fast Ethernet users in a single integrated network, and share servers
connected to the dedicated 100Mbps ports. Port expansion is easy by
connecting several switches and hubs together through dedicated
uplink port.
• Linking Up 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Technology
One-time migration from 10Base-T to 100Base-TX technology can be
very costly. The Compex DS2216 addresses this problem by allowing
existing 10Base-T networks to communicate with 100Base-TX
networks. Performance does not degrade the switch as each 10Base-
T/100Base-TX segment continues to operate at its own speed.
Enterprise networks can be progressively upgraded, thus gradually
phasing out older segments of the network without sacrificing
interconnectivity or performance.

• How to set up and connect Compex DS2216 for trunking
1. First decide how many trunk ports you plan to setup. You can
choose to use ports from any trunk group, but the two units to
trunk must be Compex DS2216.
2. Next, prepare the network cables to connect between these two
Compex DS2216 switches. The network cables must be category 5
and cross-connect (MDIX). Ensure the proper twisted wire pairs
are connected to the correct RJ45 connector pins. See the
Appendix for correct wiring details. Each cable can be up to a
maximum of 100 meters long.
3. Connect them up as shown below. Assuming 4 ports group
trunking is selected. Compex DS2216 unit one uses ports from
Group 1 and Compex DS2216 unit two uses ports from Group 2.
4. Goto "How to enable and select trunking ports" to enable and
select these trunking ports.
5. Power ON both units. Compex DS2216 is now ready to operate.

• How to enable and select trunking ports
This Switch supports 2 trunking groups. For each trunking group, you
can select 2, 3 or 4 pre-desired ports groups.
Group 1 selectable port groups are [2,10], [2,9,10], [1,2,9,10], group 2
selectable port groups are] [7,15]; [7,8,15]; [7,8,15,16].
1. Press the Mode button several times until the Trunking LED lights
up. Check the LEDs for that port group you want to set.
If the ports LED lights up it is already forced to Trunking mode.
Do nothing. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
2. Now press the Set button once will jump to port select. Continue to
press Set button several times until the desired ports group LEDs
lights up.
To set this ports group, press the Set button and hold it down for
about 3 seconds until all ports LEDs flash once. When successful,
the port LEDs in this group will remain lighted up.
The default operation modes for all trunking ports are 100M, Full Duplex.
Refer to the table shown below:
See [Table2 – Single Trunk Grouping] and [Table 3 – Dual trunks
combinations] below.

• How to enable priority mode for a port
Compex DS2216 supports advanced traffic priority features. It
provides two levels of priority: normal and high priority. Packets in
high priority mode will arrive sooner at the destination MAC address.
1. Press the Mode button several times until the Priority LED lights
up. Check the LED for that port number you want to set. If the port
is lighted up it is already enabled. Do nothing. Otherwise, proceed
to step 2.
2. Now press the Set button once. Port #1 LEDs lights up. Press the
Set button again to jump to next port #2. Continue to press several
times until the desired port LED lights up.
To enable this port, press the Set button and hold it down for about 3
seconds until all ports LEDs flash once.
When successful, this port LED will remain lighted up.

• How to set Default Mode
1. Press the Mode button several times until the Default LED lights
up.
2. Now press the Set button and hold it down for about 3 seconds
until all ports LEDs flash once.
Now the switch is restore to Factory Default Setting.
The factory default setting of Compex DS2216 is No trunking, Normal
Priority, each port runs in Auto-Negotiation mode.
• How to check which ports have been pre-configured for what
modes
To view this, do the following.
1. Press the Mode button several times till the desired option LED
lights up.
2. View all the port LEDs. Any port that lights up indicates that port
is setup or enabled for that mode.
3. For trunking mode, the group port LEDs will be displayed.

9. Troubleshooting
LED Indicators
The LEDs of Compex DS2216 can function as useful troubleshooting aids.
If Power LED does not light up, check that:
• Plug/cord is properly inserted into the socket.
• The ON/OFF switch is turned ON.
If LINK/ACT LED does not light up, check that:
• Wire pairs connected to RJ-45 plug are correct.
• RJ-45 plug is fully inserted until hear a click sound.
The PC is powered-up.
If FDX/Col LED does not light up for Full Duplex mode, check that:
• The device is configured as Full Duplex mode.
