1. Introduction
The KGS-810F is a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch which is featured with the following switched ports:
 Seven 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit copper ports
 One combo port - 10/100/1000Mbps copper & 1000Base-X SFP
and the following advantages in a small footprint box:
Plug and Play
The switch is shipped with factory default configuration which behaves like an unmanaged Gigabit switch for
workgroup. It provides eight 10/100/1000Mbps copper ports for connections to Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and
Gigabit Ethernet devices. With the featured auto-negotiation function, the switch can detect and configure the
connection speed and duplex automatically. The switch also provides auto MDI/MDI-X function, which can
detect the connected cable and switch the transmission wire pair and receiving pair automatically. This
auto-crossover function can simplify the type of network cables used.
Fiber Connectivity
The combo port provides one 1000M SFP slot, which can be installed with an optional SFP optical fiber
transceiver to support one Gigabit 1000Base-X fiber connection when needed.
Web Management
The switch is embedded with an Http server which provides management functions for advanced network
functions including Port Control, Quality of Service, and Virtual LAN functions. The management can be
performed via Web browser based interface over TCP/IP network.
Quality of Service
For advanced application, the switch is featured with powerful Quality of Service (QoS) function which can
classify the priority for received network frames based on the ingress port and frame contents. Furthermore,
many service priority policies can be configured for egress operation in per-port basis.
Virtual LAN (VLAN)
For increasing Tagged VLAN applications, the switch is also featured with powerful VLAN function to fulfill
the up-to-date VLAN requirements. The switch supports both port-based VLAN and tagged VLAN in per-port
basis.
802.1x Authentication
IEEE 802.1X port-based network access control function provide a means of authenticating and authorizing
devices attached to the switched port that has point-to-point connection characteristics, and of preventing
access to that port in cases in which the authentication and authorization process fails.

2.7 Making UTP Connections
The 10/100/1000 RJ-45 copper ports support the following connection types and distances:
Network Cables
10BASE-T: 2-pair UTP Cat. 3, 4, 5, EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm
100BASE-TX: 2-pair UTP Cat. 5, EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm
1000BASE-T: 4-pair UTP Cat. 5 or higher (Cat.5e is recommended), EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm
Link distance: Up to 100 meters
Auto MDI/MDI-X Function
This function allows the port to auto-detect the twisted-pair signals and adapts itself to form a valid MDI to
MDI-X connection with the remote connected device automatically. No matter a straight through cable or
crossover cable are connected, the ports can sense the receiving pair automatically and configure themselves to
match the rule for MDI to MDI-X connection. It simplifies the cable installation.
Auto-negotiation Function
The ports are featured with auto-negotiation function and full capability to support connection to any Ethernet
devices. The port performs a negotiation process for the speed and duplex configuration with the connected
device automatically when each time a link is being established. If the connected device is also
auto-negotiation capable, both devices will come out the best configuration after negotiation process. If the
connected device is incapable in auto-negotiation, the switch will sense the speed and use half duplex for the
connection.
Port Configuration Management
For making proper connection to an auto-negotiation incapable device, it is suggested to use port control
function via software management to set forced mode and specify speed and duplex mode which match the
configuration used by the connected device.

2.8 Making Fiber Connection
The SFP slot must be installed with an SFP fiber transceiver for making fiber connection. Your switch may
come with some SFP transceivers pre-installed when it is shipped.
Installing SFP Fiber Transceiver
To install an SFP fiber transceiver into SFP slot, the steps are:
1. Turn off the power to the switch.
2. Insert the SFP fiber transceiver into the SFP slot. Normally, a bail is provided for every SFP transceiver.
Hold the bail and make insertion.
3. Until the SFP transceiver is seated securely in the slot, place the bail in lock position.
Connecting Fiber Cables
LC connectors are commonly equipped on most SFP transceiver modules. Identify TX and RX connector
before making cable connection. The following figure illustrates a connection example between two fiber
ports:
Make sure the Rx-to-Tx connection rule is followed on the both ends of the fiber cable.
Network Cables
Multimode (MMF) - 50/125μm, 62.5/125 μm
Single mode (SMF) - 9/125 μm

3. Advanced Functions
To help a better understanding about the software management interfaces, this chapter describes some
advanced functions provided by the switch.
3.1 Abbreviation
Ingress Port: Ingress port is the input port on which a packet is received.
Egress Port: Egress port is the output port from which a packet is sent out.
IEEE 802.1Q Packets: A packet which is embedded with a VLAN Tag field
VLAN Tag: In IEEE 802.1Q packet format, 4-byte tag field is inserted in the original Ethernet frame between
the Source Address and Type/Length fields. The tag is composed of:
#of bits 16 3 1 12
Frame field TPID User priority CFI VID
TPID: 16-bit field is set to 0x8100 to identify a frame as an IEEE 802.1Q tagged packet
User Priority: 3-bit field refer to the 802.1p priority
CFI: The Canonical Format Indicator for the MAC address is a 1 bit field.
VID: VLAN identifier, 12-bit field identifies the VLAN to which the frame belongs to.
Untagged packet: A standard Ethernet frame with no VLAN Tag field
Priority-tagged packet: An IEEE 802.1Q packet which VID filed value is zero (VID=0)
VLAN-Tagged packet: An IEEE 802.1Q packet which VID filed value is not zero (VID<>0)
PVID (Port VID):PVID is the default VID of an ingress port. It is often used in VLAN classification for
untagged packets. It is also often used for egress tagging operation.
DSCP: Differentiated Service Code Point, 6-bit value field in an IP packet
VLAN Table lookup: The process of searching VLAN table to find a VLAN which matches the given VID index
MAC address table lookup: The process of searching MAC address table to find a MAC entry which matches
the given destination MAC address and the port where the MAC address is located
Packet forwarding: also known as packet switching in a network switch based on MAC address table and
VLAN table information
VLAN forwarding: the operation that a packet is forwarded to an egress destination port based on VLAN
table information
VLAN group: configuration information about a VLAN which can be recognized in the switch. The
information includes a VID associated to the VLAN, member ports, and some special settings.

3.2 QoS Function
The switch provides a powerful Quality of Service (QoS) function to guide the packet forwarding in four
priority classes. The versatile classification methods can meet most of the application needs. The following
figure illustrates the QoS operation flow when a packet received on the ingress port until it is transmitted out
from the egress port:
-19-

-20-
3.2.1 Packet Priority Classification
Each received packet is examined and classified into one of four priority classes, Class 3, Class 2, Class 1 and
Class 0 upon reception. The switch provides the following classification methods:
802.1p classification: use User Priority tag value in the received IEEE 802.1Q packet to map to one priority
class
DSCP classification: use DSCP value in the received IP packet to map to one priority class
Port-based classification: used when 802.1p and DSCP are disabled or fail to be applied
They all can be configured to be activated or not. More than one classification methods can be enabled at the
same time. However, 802.1p classification is superior than DSCP classification.
802.1p mapping tables: Each ingress port has its own mapping table for 802.1p classification.
DSCP mapping table: All ingress ports share one DSCP mapping table for DSCP classification.
Default port priority: A port default priority class is used when port-based classification is applied
All configuration settings are in per port basis except that DSCP mapping table is global to all ports. A received
packet is classified into one of four priority class before it is forwarded to an egress port.
3.2.2 Priority Class Queues
Each egress port in the switch is equipped with four priority class egress queues to store the packets for
transmission. A packet is stored into the class queue which is associated to the classified priority class. For
example, a packet is stored into Class 3 egress queue if it is classified as priority Class 3.
3.2.3 Egress Service Policy
Each port can be configured with an egress service policy to determine the transmission priority among four
class queues. By default, higher class number has higher priority than the lower class numbers.
Four policies are provided for selection as follows:
 Strict priority: Packets in high priority class queue are sent first until the queue is empty
 Weighted ratio priority Class 3:2:1:0 = 4:3:2:1: four queues are served in 4:3:2:1 ratio
Weighted ratio priority Class 3:2:1:0 = 5:3:1:1: four queues are served in 5:3:1:1 ratio
Weighted ratio priority Class 3:2:1:0 = 1:1:1:1: four queues are served equally
Strict priority policy lets high priority class queue is served first until it is empty. Lower priority queue may not
get any service (or egress bandwidth) when higher priority traffic is heavy for long time. Three weighted ratio
policies are provided to resolve such problem. Four class queues are served in weighted round robin basis.
Every priority class can get a guaranteed ratio for the egress bandwidth.
