0B Chapter 1 Introduction
The MSL-3S79 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 MSL-3S79 features a “store-and-forward” switching scheme. This allows the
switch to auto-learn and store source address in an 16K-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 MSL-3S79 has 3-module slot. User can purchase the modules in accordance with
their needs as well as giving elasticity on network application.

The 3-pronged power plug is located at the Rear Panel of the MSL-3S79 as shown in
figure. The Switches will work with AC in the range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. The DC
redundant power jack is optional.

2B Chapter 3 Hardware Installation
14B 3.1 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 air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Feet
1. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and dust free.
2. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.
3. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These
footpads can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.
15B 3.2 Rack-mounted Installation
The 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.
B. After attaching 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.
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.

12
16B 3.3 Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket at the rear panel of the Switch. The other
side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The internal power can work with AC
in the voltage range of 100-240VAC/ frequency 50~60Hz or 12-48VDC (It’s optional).
Besides, The AC and DC input can be used for redundant power supply. When one
fails, another one is able to keep providing power to the switch. Check the power
indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.

13
3B Chapter 4 Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the switch is
used. In general, the MSL-3S79 is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its
large address table (16K MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for
interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting
with MSL-3S79. The switch automatically learns nodes address, which are
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
.
By using Gigabit or Gigabit Fiber, 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 Gigabit fiber ports to connect switches.
17B 4.1 Desktop Application
The MSL-3S79 is designed to be a switch that is an ideal solution for small
workgroup. The Switch can be used as a standalone switch to which personal
computers, server, printer server are directly connected to form small
workgroup.
18B 4.2 Segment Application
For enterprise networks where large data broadcast are constantly processed, this
switch is suitable for department user to connect to the corporate backbone.
You can use the MSL-3S79 to connect PCs, workstations, and servers to each other.
All the devices in this network can communicate with each other by connecting directly
to the Switch. Connecting servers to the backbone switch allow other users to access
the server’s data.

14
The switch automatically learns node address, which are subsequently used to filter
and forward all traffic based on the destination address. You can use any of the RJ-45
port of the MSL-3S79 to connect with another Switch or Hub to interconnect each of
your small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.
