INTRODUCTION
This section describes the features of the 10-port 10/100/1000Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet Switch, as well as giving some background
information about Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Switching
technology.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the
same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full
duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold
increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a
hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible
with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit
Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a
company’s existing investment in hardware, software, and trained
personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet
is essential to coping with the network bottlenecks that frequently
develop as computers and their busses get faster and more users use
applications that generate more traffic. Upgrading key components,
such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly
improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the
traffic between your subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to support
video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive
applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than

4
Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to
perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time.
In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet
is the most cost-effective method to take advantage of today and
tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking
technologies. And with expected advances in the coming years in
silicon technology and digital signal processing that will enable
Gigabit Ethernet to eventually operate over unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cabling, outfitting your network with a powerful 1000-Mbps-
capable backbone/server connection creates a flexible foundation for
the next generation of network technology products.
FastEthernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of
desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high
performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies
have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve
client/server response times. Among them, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet)
provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the current 10BASE-
T technology. The non-disruptive and smooth evolution nature, and
the dominating potential market base, virtually guarantee cost effective
and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions in the years to come.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standard specified by the IEEE 802.3
LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard
with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while
maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the 100Mbps Fast
Ethernet is compatible with all other 10Mbps Ethernet environments, it

5
provides a straightforward upgrade and takes advantage of the
existing investment in hardware, software, and personnel training.
Switching Technology
Another key developmentpushing the limits of Ethernet technology is
in the field of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets
at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among
connected Ethernet or fast Ethernet LAN segments.
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network
capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases
capacity and decreases network loading by making it possible for a
local area network to be divided into different segments which don’t
compete with each other for network transmission capacity, giving a
decreased load on each.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the
individual segments. Traffic that needs to go from one segment to
another is automatically forwarded by the switch, without interfering
with any other segments. This allows the total network capacity to be
multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter
cards.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous
generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher
latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks,
but the cost of a router and the setup and maintenance required make
routers relatively impractical. Today’s switches are an ideal solution to
most kinds of local area network congestion problems.

UNPACKING AND SETUP
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch.
Unpacking
Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its
contents. The carton should contain the following items:
♦One 10-port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch
♦Four rubber feet with adhesive backing
♦One AC power cord
♦This User’s Guide
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local
reseller for replacement.
Setup
The setup of the Switchcan be performed using the following steps:
♦The surface must support at least 5 kg.
♦The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the
device.
♦Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is secured fully
to the AC power connector.

8
♦Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and
adequate ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy
objects on the Switch.
Desktop Installation
When installing the Switch on a desktop, the rubber feet included with
the device must be first attached. Attach these cushioning feet on the
bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space
between the device and the objects around it.

Rack Installation (optional)
The 10-port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch can be mounted
in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring
closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets
on the switch’s front panel (one on each side) and secure them with
the screws provided.
Figure 2-2A. Attaching the mounting brackets to the Switch
Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the
Switch in the rack.

Connecting Network Cable
The Gigabit Ethernet Switch supports two 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet ports and eight 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports. Port 1 to
port 8 supports 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet. Port 9 and
port 10 are Gigabit Ethernet port, it supports 10Mbps, 100Mbps and
1000Mbps. And these ports run both half duplex and full duplex while
it’s running in 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps.
These ports are supported Auto-MDI feature, these ports can auto
transform to MDI-II or MDI-X type, so you can just make an easy
connection that without worrying if you are using a standard or
crossover cable.
Power on
The 10-port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch can be used
with AC power sources 100 -240 VAC, 50 -60 Hz. The Switch’s power
supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be
turned on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.
