10/100Mbps connection to every attached client with no congestion issue. The
gigabit ports also provide the fat pipe to the server or backbone connectivity for
boosting the total system performance. Moreover, the NWay auto-negotiation
operation automatically negotiates with the connected partners on the network
speed and duplex mode; that provides an easy way to integrate 10 / 100 /
1000Mbps networks with no pain. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks
into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the
bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications.
Out of the ordinary dumb switches, the 24F.E.+2G.E. Gigabit Clustering Switch
embedded advanced management capability; that the device can be remote
managed by Telnet, SNMP manager and Internet browser. This is much useful for
system manager to monitor and control the system efficiently.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all
the network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under
full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of the frames can occur
simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double the network
bandwidth.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully
compliant with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic
LEDs on the front-panel provide the operating status of individual port and
whole system.

LEDs Definition
The rich diagnostic LEDs on the front panel can provide the operating status of
individual port and whole system.
Power LED
This indicator lights green when the switch is receiving power; otherwise, it is off.
RTC LED
When standalone using the switch, this indicator indicates the optional Real Time
Clock is functioning or not. If it does, the RTC LED lights green. In the
management stack, the RTC LED blinks green to indicate management bus activity
STATUS 0 LED
When this LED steady green, it means the device acts competent leading role, an
indispensable essential for system administrator to control and monitor whole
system. At the time one member of the cluster disconnected or new member joined,
the “STATUS 0” LED blinks. Soon, one and only one master will be raised. You can
reference to “HUB ID” for relative information in the next.
STATUS 1 LED
The “STATUS 1” LED flashes green when Run Time Error occurs.
Port LEDs (10/100Mbps Copper/Fiber)
Every 10/100Mbps port relevant two LEDs (SPD/LINK/ACT; FULL/COL) for
indicating the speed and connection status.
SPD/LINK/ACT LED
SPD/LINK/ACT LED Status
Off No Connection
Green Connected as 100Mbps
Flashing Green There is traffic transverses the port
Amber Connected as 10Mbps
Flashing Amber There is traffic transverses the port

If the port is connected but the SPD/LINK/ACT LED is dark, check the
following items:
1. The switch and the connected device’s power are on or not.
2. The connecting cable is good and with correct type
3. The cable is firmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in the
associated device
4. The connecting device, including any network adapter is well installed
and functioning
FULL/COL LED
A collision occurs when two stations within a collision domain attempt to
transmit data at the same time. Intermittent flashing amber of the collision
LED is normal; the contending adapters resolve each collision by means of a
wait-then-retransmit algorithm. Frequency of collisions is an indicator of
heavy traffic on the network.
If the FULL/COL LED lights amber, means the port is under Full-Duplex
operation or dark for Half-Duplex mode.
FULL/COL LED Status
Steady Amber Full-Duplex mode
Dark Half-Duplex mode
Flashing Amber Collision
AttentionΚThe 10/100Mbps fiber optical SC slot shares with copper
port-1 in the same LED indicators

LINK/ACT LEDs (For slide-in slots on the rear panel)
The slide-in slot has a LINK/ACT LED itself. When one slide-in module is well
installed and functioning, the relevant one lights green.
LINK LED (“STACK” port)
The LED lights green, when a management stack is made via the “STACK” port
and negotiates with associated devices successfully.
HUB IDΰRotary Switchα
All members of the management stack are ranked according to their “HUB ID”(Device
ID). There are eight degrees (0~7) in the rotary switch. The smaller number, the higher
degree. Device with smallest “HUB ID” will be the “Master” device. Then, system
management can perform by the way of the “Master Device”.
AttentionΚEvery device in the management stack should have a unique
“HUB ID”. In the meanwhile, a “HUB ID” which has been
using by a device, reused by another, the management stack
will fail.
