1. Introduction
This switch is a cost-effect high performance 8TX + 2Gigabit ports 10/100/1000
Mbps Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet management switch with
Broadcom solution. There are two built-in gigabit ports for high-speed users and
high-speed connections.
This switch supports remote management function by SNMP, Http and Telnet
operations. It supports lots of functions for a L2 switch management, e.g.
VLAN(port-based/802.1Q), System Configuration, Port Configuration, Port
Mirroring, Port Statistics, QoS functions, IGMP snooping. Auto-MDIX function is
also supported for every TX port of the switch for easy cable connection.

2. Where To Place the Intelligent Switch
This Intelligent Switch can be placed on a flat surface (your desk, shelf or table).
Place the Intelligent Switch at a location with these connection considerations in
mind:
zThe switch configuration does not break the rules as specified in Section 3.
zThe switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily to it.
zThe cables connected to the switch are away from sources of electrical
interference such as radio, computer monitor, and light fixtures.
zThere is sufficient space surrounding the switch to allow for proper ventilation
(the switch may not function according to specifications beyond the
temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees C).
3. Configure Network Connection
3.1 Connecting Devices to the Intelligent Switch
[ Connection Guidelines: ]
zFor 10BaseT connection: Category 3 or 5 twisted-pair Ethernet cable
zFor 100BaseTX connection: Category 5 twisted-pair Ethernet cable
zFor 1000BaseT connection: Category 5e twisted-pair Ethernet cable
zFor UTP cable connection, always limit the cable distance to 100 meters (328
ft) as defined by IEEE specification
zBecause this switch supports Auto MDI/MDI-X detection on each UTP port,
you can use normal straight through cable for both workstation connection and
hub/switch cascading.
3.2 Connecting to Another Ethernet Switch/Hub
This Intelligent Switch can be connected to existing 10Mbps/100Mbps/1000Mbps
hubs/switches. Because all UTP ports on the Intelligent Switch support Auto
MDI/MDI-X function, you can connect from any UTP port of the Intelligent Switch
to the MDI or MDI-X port of another hub/switch with Straight Through or
Crossover cables.

Straight-Through cable
Max. 100m

3.3 Connecting with Trunk connection
This switch supports trunk function for high-speed connection between switches
to remove the bottleneck problem of switch-to-switch connection. The bandwidth
of the trunk connection is the total bandwidth of the cables in the trunk. For
example, Port 1,2,3,4 are used for trunk connection and the trunk bandwidth is
200Mbps x 4 = 800Mbps.
Because all UTP ports of the Intelligent Switch support Auto MDI/MDI-X function,
you can connect from the trunking ports of the Intelligent Switch to the trunking
ports of another hub/switch with Straight Through or Crossover cables.
Notes: Please enable and configure the trunk function first before connecting
cables to prevent packet looping between switches.
TO: Trunking ports
Cat.5 cables
Max. 100 meter ( 328 feet )

3.4 Application
A switch can be used to improve overall network performance. Switches make
intelligent decisions about where to send network traffic based on the destination
address of the packet. As a result, the switch can significantly reduce
unnecessary traffic.
The example below demonstrates the switch ability to segment the network. The
number of nodes on each segment is reduced thereby minimizing network
contention (collisions) and boosting the available bandwidth per port.
With management function of the switch, network administrator is easy to monitor
network status and configure for different applications.

4. Adding Module
4.1 Adding MiniGBIC(SFP) Module
A MiniGBIC module slot for gigabit connection extension is supported at front
panel. You can add a MiniGBIC module to the switch and this switch gets
another gigabit port.
MiniGBIC
slot
Please follow the steps to add the module to the switch.
1. Slide in the module into the module slot.
2. Connect network cable to the port of the module.
