100Base-TX/FX.
•16-port Fast Ethernet Switch, pure 10/100Base-TX
•Wire-speed "Store-and-Forward" filtering/forwarding
eliminates bad data packets with minimal delay
•100Base-TX ports automatically sense and set optimal
line speed from 10/20, 100/200Mbps, All 100Base-TX port
support Auto-Negotiation function
•Optional Fiber-optic module for 100Base-FX, shared with
port16. DIP switch for Half/Full-Duplex selection
•Shared buffer memory and up to 8K-entry MAC source
address table make for fast handling of data packets
•Flow control to eliminate packets loss
•Internal, full-range power supply suitable for worldwide

2.2.1 Ports Speed
n 100Base-TX
All 100Base-TX ports come with auto-negotiation capability.
They automatically support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device
into one of the 100Base-TX ports, then turn on the hub. The
port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or
200Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.
Port speed adjustment is also available through console port.
n 100Base-FX
The port 16 can be a 100Base-FX fiber-optic port as the
extension module installed (rear) At the mean time, the RJ-
45 port of #16 will being disabled. The Half-/Full-Duplex is
selectable by the DIP-switch on the module. Please refer to
the installation guide of the extension module for more.
2.2.2 Cabling
NOVASwitch 100Base-TX ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to
phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable
(UTP). The IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard requires
Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks
can use Cat.3, 4, or 5 UTP (see table A below)

2.2.3 MDI Switch
Each numbered port of NovaSwitch FNSW-1600S are MDI-X
port, you can direct use straight cable for the connection to your
end nodes. However, port#12 is with one push button. To push
the button to convert the port to MDI-II port for direct hub
cascade. Please also refer to Section “RJ-45 Pin Assignment”
for more.
2.2.4 Status LEDs
One green LED to show power On/Off is on the front panel, and one
“Module Installed”LED indicator to indicate the rear open slot is
installed with a fiber-optic module. Also, each port has three status
LED indicators, as shown below.

2.3.1 Extension Slot
The Switch port #16 can be a 100Base-FX switching port as the
extension module installed. As the module installed, the port#16 on
the front panel will be disabled.
Please refer to the Installation Guide of the module for the detailed
installation and settings.
NOTE: While powering on, The Switch detects the DIP-
switch status of the module, then shown on the
front panel LED indicators
2.3.2 Power Connector
The Power Connector is designed to be used with the power
cord included in the product package. Attach the female end of
the cord to the power connector and the male end of the cord to
a grounded power outlet. The accepted power range is from
100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60Hz.
2.3.3 Fan
All computing and communications devices work best when not
overheated. Please keep the fan area clear so that the cooling
function is not impaired.
