1. Introduction
This 16-port Switching Hub is flexible 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switching HUB.
One extension module port is designed for 100Base-Fx extension. This module
clued be 1*SC/ST ports or module and the switch will become a 17 ports switching
hub. This flexibility is helpful for users to extend their network connection.
There is a console port at the rear panel of the 16-port switching hub. User can setup
per-port 10/100Mbps, Half/Full duplex configuration from the console port. The
VLAN and Trunking functions of the 16-port switching hub is also setup from the
console port. Users can setup VLAN groups for network management or user can setup
trunking connection for switch-to-switch connection with faster bandwidth. This
switching HUB can auto-sense the operation speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps) and operation
mode (full or half duplex)*. There is a clear indicator panel for Link/Act, 100M speed
and Full-duplex/Collision of each port for network status monitor.
*Notes: If 100BaseFX SC/ST connectors, the operation speed is 100Mbps and the operation mode is full duplex.
And the operation mode can be changed to half duplex from the console port.

2. Where To Place the Switch
This 16-port Switch can be placed on a flat surface (your desk, shelf or table) or
mounted onto a rack.
Place the 16-port Switch at a location with these connection considerations in mind:
The switch configuration does not break the rules as specified in section 4.
The switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily to it.
The cables connected to the switch are away from sources of electrical
interference such as radio, computer monitor, and light fixtures.
There is sufficient space surrounding the hub to allow for proper ventilation (the
hub may not function according to specifications beyond the temperature range
of 0 to 40 degrees C).
2.1 Placing The Switch on a Desk or Shelf
a. Stick the self-adhesive rubber foot pads (that come with this package) on each of the
4 concave spaces located on the bottom of the first hub.
b. Place the first hub on a firm flat surface where you want to install the stack.
c. Repeat step a. for each hub before stacking them. The rubber foot pads cushion the
hub against shock or vibrations and provide space between each hub for ventilation.

2.2 Mounting The Switch Onto a Rack
1. Use the brackets and screws supplied in the rack mounting kit.
2. Use a cross-head screwdriver to attach the brackets to the side of the bub.
3. Position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the
appropriate holes on rack, and then use the supplied screws to mount the hub onto the
standard EIA 19-inch rack.

3. Configure the Switch
3.1 Configure the Switch from the Console Port
〔1〕Setup Hardware and Software for configuration
〔Hardware setup

Connect from the console port (at rear panel) of the Switch to COM
port of PC with the RJ45-DB9 adapters and one network cable, or
standard RS232 cable.
〔Soft

ware setup〕
1. PC is running Win95/98/NT.
2. Start ->Program ->Accessory ->Terminal. Execute”Hypertrm” program.
3. If the connection file has been created, cancel the new connection request and
open the connection file. If the connection file has not been created, create a
new connection named “SW16F” ->Select COM port of PC ->Set COM port
parameters as “Baud Rate: 9600, Data Bits: 8, parity Check: None, Stop Bit: /,
Flow Control: None” Then OK.
4. Power on the Switch and the setup console will appear as follow:
〔2〕Configure Connection Ports of the Switch
1. Users can enable/disable the auto-negotiation function of the
connection ports with this function. If the auto-auto-negotiation
is disabled, users can set the connection speed, full/half duplex
of the connection ports. The default setting is auto-negotiation
enable.
2. Follow the direction in the setup menu to setup the configuration
of the connection ports.
3. The indicators of the display panel of the Switch may ON/OFF depending on
the setting of the ports in this function when the cables are link connected.
Notes: If the connection ports are 100Base-FX SC/ST ports, the auto-
negotiation function of the ports will be always disable. User can set
the 100Base-FX ports to full/half duplex and enable/disable flow-
control in this function.

〔3〕Setup VLAN Groups of the Switch
1. Enter the VLAN setup function in the setup console as follow.
2. All of the connection ports are in the same VLAN group default.
3. Users can modify/add/remove connection ports to/from VLAN groups.
4. Select group number first.
5. Select the port number to be added or removed.
6. Repeat Step 5 to complete the setup of one VLAN group.
7. Repeat Step 4~5 to complete the setup of another VLAN group.
8. Quit to the main menu.
Notes: Data will only be forwarded to ports in the same VLAN group. Data will not
be forwarded to ports in different VLAN groups, just like they were not
connected together. The factory default setting of the switch is all ports are
in the same VLAN group.
〔4〕Setup Trunking Connection of the Switch
1. Enter the Trunking setup function in the setup console as follow.

2. The VLAN and Trunking functions of the Switch cannot work at the same Time.
If Trunking function is enabled, the VLAN function will be disabled.
3. User may see current trunk connection configuration. Because there may be two
trunk connections for the switch, please select one of them to setup.
4. Set how many ports used for the trunk connection.
5. After setup, user can quit and save the setting.
6. Then user may create the trunk connection-connecting crossover cables from the
trunking ports of thw Switch to another switching hub. These ports on the other
switching hub must be Trunking ports. Please refer to section on the other
switching hub must be Trunking ports. Please refer to section 4.2 for creating
trunk connection.
〔5〕Setup the Switch to Default Setting
1. Enter the Default Setting function in the setup console.
2. Recover to default setting.
〔6〕Reset Device of the Switch
1. Enter the Reset Device setup function in the setup console.

3.2 Add Extension Ports with Module
There is module port on the rear panel of the Switch. User and add one more
100Base-FX SC/ST ports from it and the Switch will become a 17 ports Switch. (Please
refer to Installation Guide at the first page of this user’s manual.) User can add the
module for their networking environment.
1.The module is fixed on the Switch with two screws.
2. Power off the Switch before adding the module.
3. Turn the screws counterclockwise with fingers or screw deive to loosen the module
cover.
4. Remove the module cover when it is loosened.
5. Slide the new module into the module port.
6. Turn the screws clockwise with fingers or screw drive to fix the module on the switch.
〔Warning:〕
Before remove or plug the module on the Switch, please make sure the power
is off. Otherwise, the module and Switch may be damaged.
