1. Introduction
Driven y recent advances in desktop computing technology, todays
network applications have increased in speed, power and the a ility to
process information. To meet the demands of these more andwidth-
intensive applications, this switch device provides significant increase
in performance for your Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network. The switch
comes with high num er of 10/100 Fast Ethernet switched ports, each
capa le of transferring information simultaneously at full wire speed to
control and allocate the network andwidth. It also provides one Fast
Ethernet Fi er slot for uplink to fi er ack one.
The key features of the switch units are:
Easy Migration : With 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T support, the switch
provides a non-disruptive and smooth migration path from Ethernet
to Fast Ethernet network.
Easy Installation : With the functions of auto-speed-sensing and
auto-negotiation on each port, the switches support plug-and-play
installation y default which eliminates configuration pro lems.
Fiber Connectivity : With 100BASE-FX slot support, the switch pro-
vides an optional solution for fi er uplink when it is needed.
Network Management : With the uilt-in SNMP and we manage-
ment software agent, the switch provides network management func-
tion for advanced applications remotely.

3. Making Network Connections
3.1 Network Switched Ports
The following figure illustrates the switched ports provided on the switch.
The switch comes with nine Fast Ethernet switched ports and Port #9
provides two connection types, one is 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 connector
and the other is 100BASE-FX fi er slot. The Fast Ethernet fi er slot can
accommodate one optional Fast Ethernet fi er module.
The following ta le lists the connectors provided on each network ports:
Port # Standard Connector type Mark
Port 1-8 10/100BASE-TX MDI-X RJ-45 1X- 8X
Port 9 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 9X
(crossover SW defines RJ-45 type)
Port 9 100BASE-FX 100 Fiber Slot 100BASE-FX

-14-
 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Switched Ports
Each switched port supports one connection to a LAN segments. Each
segment is an independent shared network in one collision-domain.
The connection can e to either a 10BASE-T or a 100BASE-TX device.
 M I-X and M I RJ-45 Connectors
MDI-X jack is la eled [X] normally to indicate the jack is designed
with internal crossover function. It allows a connection to an end
station using straight-through UTP ca le. MDI RJ-45 connector is
provided for easy uplink via standard straight-through UTP to
other device that supports MDI-X RJ-45 connector. The following
ta le shows the pin assignments of MDI-X and MDI RJ-45
connector respectively:
PIN# MDI-X Jacks MDI Jack
1 Rx+ Tx+
2 Rx- Tx-
3 Tx+ Rx+
6 Tx- Rx-
4,5,7,8 NC NC
 Crossover SW
This push utton switch is dedicated for Port #9 RJ-45 jack. When
pushing ON, Port #9 RJ-45 is set to MDI type.
Crossover SW Port #9 RJ-45
OFF MDI-X
ON MDI
 100 Fiber Slot
Optional fi er connectivity support for Port #9. This can not e used
with RJ-45 9X jack at the same time. Refer to section 3.3.

-15-
3.2 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Ports
The switch can support connections to the following devices:
• 10BASE-T or 10/100BASE-TX network cards
• 10BASE-T hub ports
• 100BASE-TX hub ports
• 10/100BASE-TX dual speed hub ports
• 10/100BASE-TX switch ports
Auto-negotiation Capable
The ports support auto-negotiation function when esta lishing a link
connection with any auto-negotiation capa le device. The connection
speed and duplex mode are determined through the negotiation process
with the connected device.
Auto-speed-sensing
When connecting to a non-auto-negotiation device, half duplex mode is
used. However, the ports can auto-detect the connection speed.
Manual Configuration
The ports are configured to e ena led for auto-negotiation as factory
default. However, it also can e changed and stick to one of the follow-
ing configurations through network management operation:
_10M Half-duplex
_10M Full-duplex
_100M Half-duplex
_100M Full-duplex
Trunking Function
The ports are configured as normal data ports instead of trunking ports
as factory default. In order to support trunking function, any port can e
configured as a trunking port manually through network management
operation. As configured, it is no longer a data port. For more details
a out trunking, refer to section 3.4.

-16-
Flow Control
Half-duplex mode uses ack pressure flow control to prevent the receiv-
ing uffer from eing overrun y data from a source node. Full-duplex
mode uses the 802.3X flow control standard to prevent fast Physical
Ports data traffic from overrunning slow data traffic.
UTP Cable Connections
When making a connection to another device using straight-through
UTP ca le, make sure MDI-X to MDI connection rule is followed. The
following figure illustrates the pin assignments of a straight-through
UTP and a crossover UTP ca le:
Straight-through and Crossover UTP Cable
It is suggested to use straight-through UTP ca les for all UTP connec-
tions. The maximum length and UTP ca le categories used for the con-
nections to a 10BASE-T device and 100BASE-TX device are:
CONNECTEDDEVICE UTP CABLE USED & MAXIMUM LENGTH
10BASE-T device Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP (100 meters)
100BASE-TX device Cat. 5 UTP (100 meters)

-17-
3.3 Fast Ethernet Fiber Slot
The switch provides one fast Ethernet fi er slot. It can accommodate one
optional fi er module for your fi er connection. Depending on the fi er
interface and the types of fi er ca les, the following fi er modules are
availa le for selection:
Module Connector type Fiber cable Maximum length
800-T ST MM* 2 Km
800-C SC MM 2 Km
800-SA SC SM* 15 Km
800-S3 SC SM 30 Km
800-S5 SC SM 50 Km
800-JM MT-RJ MM 2 Km
800-JS MT-RJ SM 15 Km
800-VM VF-45 MM 2 Km
* MM : Multimode fiber cable, SM : Single mode fiber cable
Switched port #9 supports two types of connections. One type is UTP
connection through Port 9X. The other is fi er connection through slot
FIBER respectively. Both types of connections can not e used at the
same time. Each fi er module provides optional jumpers to ena le or
disa le fi er connection.

3.4 Making Trunk Connections
Two switch units can e cascaded together through any regular switched
data port on each unit when a port expansion is required. However, the
transfer andwidth etween the two cascaded ports is limited to 200M ps
full duplex. To increase the andwidth for the connection etween two
switch units, a trunking function is implemented on the switch unit for
this purpose. Normal data ports can e configured optionally as trunking
ports through the network management operation. Two trunking ports
composes one trunk. Two switch units can e cascaded through one
trunk. The aggregated andwidth of one trunk can e up to 400M ps, if
2 trunking ports are used for one trunk.
The switch supports the following trunk configurations:
Configuration Trunk Trunking ports
1 None None
2 1 Trunk [Port 1, Port 2]
3 1 Trunk [Port 7, Port 8]
4 2 Trunk1 [Port 1, Port 2]
Trunk2 [Port 7, Port 8]
Refer to the software operation manuals in the supplied CD-ROM for
more information a out how to configure a data port as a trunking port.
