2. Where To Place the 16port Switch
This 16port Switch can be placed on a flat surface (your desk, shelf or table).
Place the 16port Switch at a location with these connection considerations in
mind:
lThe switch configuration does not break the rules as specified in Section 3.
lThe switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily to it.
lThe cables connected to the switch are away from sources of electrical
interference such as radio, computer monitor, and light fixtures.
lThere 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).
You can also install this 16port switch on a 19" rack with the rack-mount kits
as the picture.

3. Configure the Network Connection
3.1 Connecting Devices to the 16port Switch
[ Connection Guidelines: ]
lUse Category 3 or 5 twisted-pair Ethernet cable when connecting 10BaseT
devices to the switch (cable pin assignments defined in Appendix A)
lUse Category 5 (straight-through) twisted-pair Ethernet cable when
connecting 100BaseTX devices to the switch (cable specifications are defined
in Appendix B)
lAlways limit the cable distance to 100 meters (328 ft) as defined by IEEE
specification
lIf your switch has a FX port, you can connect long distance fiber optic cable
to the switch.
lBecause this switch supports Auto MDI/MDI-Xdetection, you can use normal
straight through cable for both workstation connection and hub/switch
cascading.
3.2 Connecting to Another Ethernet Switch/Hub
This 16port Switch can be connected to existing 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
hubs/switches. Because all the TP ports on the 16port Switch are Auto
MDI/MDI-X, you can connect from any TP port of the 16port Switch to the
MDI or MDI-X port of another hub/switch with Straight Through or crossover
cables.

3.3 Application
A switch can be used to overcome the hub to hub connectivity limitations as
well as 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.

4. For 100BaseFX Connection
4.1 Adding 100BaseFX Module
This 16port switch has a module port for 100BaseFX connection extension.
You can add a 100BaseFX module to the switch and this switch gets a
100BaseFX port for long distance fiber optic cable connection. But when this
module is added, the 16th TP port will be disable and this FX port become the
16th port.
Please follow the steps to add the module to the switch.
1. Turn off the switch.
2. Loosen the screws of the blank cover and remove the cover from the module
port of the switch.
3. Slide in the module into the module port.
4. Tighten the screws of the module to the switch.
5. Connect the fiber optic cable to the FX port of the module.
6. Power on the switch.
7. Refer to Section 7 to configure Port 16 to 100Mbps, full duplex.

collision is a part of normal Ethernet Operation.

6. About VLAN and QoS
6.1 VLAN
The VLAN setting of a switch can divide the switch to several switching
segments. The network connectionson different VLANs can not send or
receiver data from each other. Even broadcast packetscan not be transferred
between VLANs. So, the VLAN function is often used for user's security
application.
Here are two examples for VLAN applications.
The first one is called Concentration VLANsetting. In this case, Port (1,16),
(2,16), (3,16), (4,16), …,(13,16), (14,16), (15,16) are in different VLANs and
Port 16 is the common port for uplink or Internet connection. But the data
transfer between Port 1, 2, 3, 4, …, 13, 14, 15 are impossible for such
configuration.
The second one is the default VLAN setting of the switch. Every port belongs
to the same VLAN and can communicate with each other.
Please refer to Section 7 to configure the VLAN from console port.

In new network application, there is tag in the Ethernet packet. The tag
contains VLAN and priority information of the packet. This 16port Switch
can process both tagged and untagged packets at ingress ports. If there is tag in
Ethernet packets, it can transmit the packet according to the priority of the
packet in tag.
There are 4 transmit queues for each port of the 16port Switch. This 16port
Switch can transfer packets according to the priority of the packet to meet the
"Quality of Service" request in the network. It is very important for multi-
media data (for example: movie, music and voice) transfer in network.
Note: The QoS function is not configurable and it is defined in the switch
controller.

7. Configure from Console Port
[ 1 ] Setup Hardware and Software for Configuration
[ Hardware setup ]
Connect from the console port of the Switch to COM port of PC with the
console cable.
[ Software setup ]
1.PC is running MS Windows.
2.Start -> Program -> Accessory -> Terminal. Execute "Hypertrm"
program. If you can not find the Terminal program, please install it
from your MS Windows installation disk.
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 "SW16" -> Select COM port of
PC -> Set COM port parameters as "Baud Rate: 9600, Data Bits: 8, Parity
Check: None, Stop Bit: 1, Flow Control: None". Then OK.
4.Power on the Switch and the setup console will appear as follow.
5.The default password is "1234" (you can change it in the console
setting). The main screen will appear if the password is correct.
[Notes:] If you can not get the console screen, please reboot the switch or
close the terminal program and start again.

[ 2 ] Configure Connection Ports of the Switch
1. Users can enable/disable auto-negotiation, flow control and auto-MDIX
functions of the connection ports with this function. If 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 ] Setup VLAN Groups of the Switch
1. Select VLAN setup function in the main menu as follow.
Note: Before start to set VLAN, the trunking function will be disable
first. After VLAN setup is completed, you may set the trunking
function if you need trunkingconnection on the switch.
2. You can select the quick setup item for Concentration VLAN or the
other VLAN configuration. If you want to use concentration VLAN,
use function 1 and select which port is the common port for the
concentration VLAN. The software will create concentration VLAN
configuration automatically. (You may refer to Section 6.1 for
concentration VLAN configuration.)
3. If you want to configure VLAN by yourself, use function 2 to setup

VLAN group and PVID of ports. Use "VLAN Setup" to create VLAN
groups first. Then set PVID and tag/untagged of ports.
4. All of the connection ports are in the same VLAN group default. There
are three commands for this function.
m: modify setting of VLAN group. Select the VLAN group first and
the connection port. Then select the operation -add or remove the
port to/from the VLAN.
a: add ports to VLAN. Select the VLAN group first and then select the
ports to add to the VLAN group.
d: delete VLAN group. This function will delete one VLAN group.
q: quit from this function. "Save & Update (Y/N)" message will be
prompted to ask you if you want to save and update to this new setting.
5. Then,we use "PVID Setup" function to set the PVID of ports.
After you completethe VLAN groupssetup, you have to set the PVID
of ports to the VLAN ID of their VLAN group. If port overlapping
happens, please assign the PVID of the overlapped port to the VLAN
ID that it will use for packet transmittingVLAN grouping.
If tagged packets, there is VLAN ID in the tag of packets. If untagged
packets, the switch will assign PVID to the packet as itsVLAN ID. And

the switch will check the VLAN group settingwith the VLAN ID. If
they belong to the same VLAN, the packets will be forwarded. If they
belong to different VLANs, the packets will be filtered out.
Note: Because this switch supportsVLAN ID 0~15 only, the switch will
usebit 0~3 of VLAN ID as its VLAN ID if the VLAN ID in tagged
packetsare larger than 15.
6. You can use command "m" to set ports to tagor untagged and set PVID
of ports. The output packetsfrom a tag port will alwaysbe tagged
packets. If untagged packets, tag will be added before these packets are
transmitted. And the output packets from untagged port will always be
untagged packets. If tagged packets, the tag will be removed before
these packets are transmitted.
The tag or untagged setting depends on your applications in network. If
you are not sure about your network application, you may set all of
them to untaggedbecause lots of old network devices do not support
long Ethernet packets with tag(tag is another 4 bytes added to normal
Ethernet packets).
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 Trunk setup function in the main menuas follow.
2. This switch supports two trunks and two portsper trunk maximum.
You can select the trunk and enable or disable it in this setup function.
Notes:Before you enable the trunk, please check the VLAN setting of the ports used
for trunk. They must belong to the same VLAN group and have the same PVID and
tag/untagged setting. If they are different on some items, please make them have
the same configuration first.
[ 5 ] Change Password
1. You can change password with this function.

[ 6] Advanced Setup
There are three advanced functions for switch you can setup here.
1.Port Locking
In the Port Locking function, you can allow only one user to use the
network connection of some port through the switch. There could be
two different lock operation for the switch.
Static Lock : If the "Switch Aging" function of the switch in "Broadcast
Storm Filter" setup is set to disable, only the user that the switch learns
firstly on that port can use this connection port even the user turns OFF
his PC.
Dynamic Lock : If the "Switch Aging" setting is enable, another user with
other Mac ID could be the "only-one"user for the port after last user is
OFF and his MAC ID is aged out.
2.Broadcast Storm Filter
You can enable/disable the aging and broadcast storm filtering functions
of the switch from this function.

If the broadcast storm filtering function is enable, the broadcast packets
over the rising threshold within 50ms will be discarded. You can set three
threshold levels (per port) for broadcast storm.
1:10% for all 100TX, 1% for not all 100TX
2: 20% for all 100TX, 2% for not all 100TX
3: 40% for all 100TX, 4% for not all 100TX
3.CoS (Class of Service)
There are 4 transmit queues per port in the switch to support CoS
function and you configure the CoS function of the switch with this
function.
1. Global
Because this switch can perform CoS function with Port-base,VLAN-
base or TOS-base, you can configure it with this function.
TOS Over VLAN priority : If enable, the priority information in
TOS will be processed first then priority information in VLAN tag. If
disable, the priority information in VLAN tagwill be processed first.
Port-Base Priority : If enable, all the packets received from this port
will be always sent with the assigned priority and the priority
information in VLAN tag and TOSwill be ignored.
Port Priority : Assign the transmit priority of packets received from
the port if "Port-Base Priority"is enable.
2. VLAN/TOS Priority Map
You can map the priority value in VLAN/TOS to the four transmit
queues with this function.

There could be eight different priority values in VLAN tag and TOS
and these values will be mapped to the four transmit queues in each
port of the switch. You can arrange the mapping here.
[ 7] Restore Default Setup
You can restore the configuration to the default setting with this function.
[ 8 ] Exit
You can exit this setup interface with this function and it will go back to
the login screen.
