1. Introduction
This 16port Switch is a 16-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch. This switch
supports the advanced features for current switch design. This switch can auto
detect 10/100Mbps speed, full/half duplex mode, MDI/MDI-X connection and
one 100BaseFX expansion module port. This feature provides user the
simplest way to complete the network connection with the switch.
This 16port switch provides console management function. You can configure
VLAN, trunking, port configuration, . . . from console to provide more flexible
network management and configuration functions.
This 16port Switch supports 4 priority transmit queues per port and long
Ethernet packet up to 1522 bytes for QoS function for advanced network
application.

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.
