1. Introduction
The 3-slot Modularized Fast Ethernet L2 plus + 2 Gigabit Copper / Mini-GBIC Combo
Managed Switch is a modular switch that can be used to build high-performance
switched workgroup networks. This switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low
latency for high-speed networking. The Switch is targeted at workgroup, department or
backbone computing environment.
The 3-slot Modularized Fast Ethernet L2 plus + 2 Gigabit Copper / Mini-GBIC Combo
Managed Switch features a ―store-and-forward‖switching scheme. This allows the
switch to auto-learn and store source address in an 8K-entry MAC address table.
MDI (Medium Dependent Interface) Port is also called an "uplink port". The MDI port
does not cross transmit and receive lines, which is done by the regular ports (MDI-X
ports) that connect to end stations. In general, MDI means connecting to another Hub
or Switch while MDIX means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto
MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without
changing non-crossover or crossover cabling.
The 3-slot Modularized Fast Ethernet L2 plus + 2 Gigabit Copper / Mini-GBIC Combo
Managed Switch has 3-module slots. User can purchase the modules in accordance
with their needs which give elasticity on network application.

Ethernet Switching Technology
Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network,
eliminated congestion problems inherent with CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense multiple
access with Collision Detection) protocol, and greatly reduced unnecessary
transmissions.
This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way simultaneous transmissions
over the same port (Full-duplex) essentially doubled the bandwidth. Second, by
reducing the collision domain to a single switch-port eliminated the need for carrier
sensing. Third, by using the store-and-forward technology‘s approach of inspecting
each packet to intercept corrupt or redundant data eliminated unnecessary
transmission that slow the network. By employing address learning replaced the
inefficient receiving port.

6
Auto-negotiation regulates the speed and duplex of each port, based on the capability
of both devices. Flow-control allows transmission from a 100Mbps node to a 10Mbps
node without loss of data. Auto-negotiation and flow-control may require disablement
for some networking operations involves legacy equipment. Disabling the
auto-negotiation is accomplished by fixing the speed or duplex of a port.
Ethernet Switching Technology supplied higher performance at costs lower than other
solutions. Wider bandwidth, no congestion, and the reduction in traffic is why switching
is replacing expensive routers and inefficient hubs as the ultimate networking solution.
Switching brought a whole new way of thinking to networking.

2. Hardware Description
This Section mainly describes the hardware of the 3-slot intelligent chassis switch, and
gives a physical and functional overview of the switch.

44mm(H).
Front Panel
The Front Panel of the 3-slot intelligent chassis switch supports up to 4 kinds of module.
Please refer to the module user guide for further information.
LED Indicators
Accompanying the Copper/SFP combo ports, four LED indicators are located on the
rear panel beside each combo port. The LEDs indicate the status of Link/Activity,
Full-Duplex/Collision, and transmission speed for the respective ports. The table below
gives definition for each LED indicator.

The Description of LED Indicators
Rear Panel
The 3-pronged power plug, 2 fans, DC power input, 2 Gigabit Copper/mini-GBIC
combo port, and one RS-232 console port are located at the rear Panel of the 3-slot
intelligent chassis switch as shown in Figure 2-1. The Switch will work with AC power
in the range of 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.
The Rear Panel of the 3-slot intelligent chassis switch
Desktop Installation
Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface
where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy. Make sure there
is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and
allow air circulation.

9
Attaching Rubber Feet
A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and dust free.
B. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.
C. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These footpads
can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.
Attaching Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch
Rack-mounted Installation
The 3-slot intelligent chassis switch come with a rack-mounted kid and can be
mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch Rack. The Switch can be placed in a wiring
closet with other equipment.
Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch:
A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it
with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other
side of the Switch.
Attach mounting brackets with screws

10
B. After attached both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up
the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the Switch
to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws.
Mount the Switch in 19‖ Rack
Note: For proper ventilation, allow about at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on
the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the Switch. This is especially
important for enclosed rack installation.
Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the Switch. The other
side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The internal power supply of the
Switch works with voltage range of AC in the 100-240VAC, frequency 50~60Hz. Check
the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.

11
Redundant power
Connect the optional redundant power cord to the redundant power socket on the rear
panel of the Switch. The other side of redundant power cord connects to the power
supply. The Switch works with power supply of 12-48 VDC.
Please make sure the connection on power supply is correct when using the optional
redundant power cord. Red cord should be connected to ―+‖ and black cord should be
connect to ―-‖.

3. Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the Switch is
used. In general, the 3-slot intelligent chassis switch is designed as a segment switch.
That is, with its large address table (8000 MAC address) and high performance, it is
ideal for interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with
3-slot intelligent chassis switch. The switch automatically learns nodes address, which
are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
By using Gigabit copper/mini-GBIC combo port (on the rear side of the switch),
10/100Mbps copper, or Ethernet Fiber port the Switch can connect with another switch
or hub to interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched
network. Meanwhile, you can also use Ethernet or fiber ports to connect switches. The
following figure is an example of the 3-slot intelligent chassis switch application
topology.
The example of application topology

13
Connecting to the Switch
The Console port is a female DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a PC or
terminal for monitoring and configuring the Switch. Use the supplied RS-232 cable with
a male DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or PC to the Console port.
The Console configuration (out of band) allows you to set Switch for remote terminal as
if the console terminal were directly connected to it.

14
4. Console Management
Login in the Console Interface
When the connection between Switch and PC is ready, turn on the PC and run a
terminal emulation program or Hyper Terminal and configure its communication
parameters to match the following default characteristics of the console port:
Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Data Bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop Bit: 1
Control flow: None
The settings of communication parameters
After finishing the parameter settings, click ―OK―. When the blank screen shows up,
press Enter key to bring out the login prompt. Key in the ―root―(default value) for the
both User name and Password (use Enter key to switch), then press Enter key and the
Main Menu of console management appears. Please see below figure for login screen.
