2.INSTALLATION
This section describes the functionalities of the Fast Ethernet
Switch’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop.
Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this
chapter completely before continuing.
In the following section, the term “Switch” means the three
Switches, i.e. FSD-805, FSD-805SC and FSD-805S15; term of
“switch” can be any third part switches.
2.1 Product Description
The PLANET FSD-805 / FSD-805SC and FSD-805S15 are
10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switches in a compact housing for
easily desktop placement. With 8 ports respectively and it’s
Auto-negotiation capability, all the RJ-45 ports can be congured
to speeds of 10/20Mbps or 100/200Mbps automatically; With
increasing bandwidth requirements for local area networks,
the Switch provide non-blocking wire-speed performance
and 1.6Gbps internal switching fabric, it is the ideal option
to alleviate bottlenecks in client/ server and peer-to-peer
environments in a cost-effective way.
The FSD-805SC and FDS-805S15 provide one shared 100Base-
FX port with port 1, TP / Fiber port Selection through the DIP
switch.
All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation
for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e
cables. Support is standard for Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect
the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring
special straight or crossover cables.
The Flow Control function allows your Fast Ethernet Switch
supported routers and servers to directly connect to this Switch
for fast, reliable data transfer.

2.1.1 Product Overview
PLANET FSD-805 / FSD-805SC and FSD-805S15 are 10/100Mbps
Fast Ethernet Switch, with 8 RJ-45 10/100Mbps ports for cost
effective high-performance network connectivity. With its
1.6Gbps non-blocking switch fabric, the Switch can also provide
a local, high bandwidth. The Switch also supports Store-and-
Forward forwarding scheme to ensure low latency and high data
integrity, eliminates unnecessary trafc and relieves congestion
on critical network paths. With an intelligent address recognition
algorithm, the Switch could recognize up to 2K different MAC
address and enables ltering and forwarding at full wire speed.
Choice of multi-mode / single mode 100Base-FX SC interface on
FSD-805SC and FSD-805S15, the ber transmit distance can be
2km and 15km

Power
Notice
1. The device is a power-required device, it
means, it will not work till it is powered. If
your networks should active all the time, please
consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power
Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from
network data loss or network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect your Switch
from being damaged by unregulated surge or
current to the Switch or the power adapter.

2.2 Installing the Switch
This part describes how to install your Fast Ethernet Switch and
make connections to it. Please read the following topics and
perform the procedures in the order being presented.
Note
This Switch does not need software configuration.
2.2.1 Desktop Installation
To install the Switch on desktop, simply follow the next steps:
Step 1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the
bottom of the Switch.
Step 2: Place the Switch on desktop near an AC power
source.
Step 3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Switch
and the surrounding objects.
Note
When choosing a location, please keep in mind the
environmental restrictions discussed in Chapter 1,
Section 1.4 Product Specifications.
Step 4: Connect your Switch to network devices.
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the
10/100 RJ-45 ports on the Back of the Switch.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network
devices such as printer servers, workstations or
routers…etc.

13
Note
Connection to the Switch requires UTP Category 5
network cabling with RJ-45 tips. For more infor-
mation, please see the Cabling Specification in
Appendix A.
Step 5: Supply power to the Switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the Switch.
B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a
standard wall outlet.
When the Switch receives power, the Power LED should remain
solid Green.
Note
When need use the 100Base-FX port of FSD-
805SC and FSD-805S15, please changed the DIP
Switch on the left side. The DIP Switch control the
Port 1 runs at TP or Fiber operation mode.
Fiber or TP port choose

3. Switch Operation
3.1 Address Table
The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address
table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the
address information of some node in network, including MAC
address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning
process of Ethernet Switch.
3.2 Learning
When one packet comes in from any port. The Switch will record
the source address, port no. And the other related information
in address table. This information will be used to decide either
forwarding or ltering for future packets.
3.3 Forwarding & Filtering
When one packet comes from some port of the Ethernet
Switching, it will also check the destination address besides
the source address learning. The Ethernet Switching will lookup
the address-table for the destination address. If not found, this
packet will be forwarded to all the other ports except the port
which this packet comes in. And these ports will transmit this
packet to the network it connected. If found, and the destination
address is located at different port from this packet comes in,
the Ethernet Switching will forward this packet to the port where
this destination address is located according to the information
from address table. But, if the destination address is located
at the same port with this packet comes in, then this packet
will be ltered. There by increasing the network throughput and
availability.

15
3.4 Store-and-Forward
Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques.
A Store-and Forward Ethernet Switching stores the incoming
frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking
before transmission. Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it
is the best choice when a network needs efciency and stability.
The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the
packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the
incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The
fast forwarding makes the Switch attractive for connecting
servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput
and availability. However, the Switch is most commonly used to
segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall
performance. An Ethernet Switching can be easily congured
in any Ethernet network environment to signicantly boost
bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.
Due to the learning function of the Ethernet Switching, the
source address and corresponding port number of each
incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table.
This information is subsequently used to lter packets whose
destination address is on the same segment as the source
address. This connes network trafc to its respective domain,
reducing the overall load on the network.
The Switch performs “Store and Forward" therefore, no error
packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate.
No packet loss will occur.
3.5 Auto-Negotiation
The STP ports on the Switch have built-in “Auto-negotiation”.
This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth
when a connection is established with another network device

16
(usually at Power On or Reset). This is done by detect the
modes and speeds at the second of both device is connected
and capable of, both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices can
connect with the port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode. For
non auto-negotiation devices, the Switch will only run in Half-
duplex mode.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the
Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Fast Ethernet
Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual.
The per port LED is not lit
Solution:
Check the cable connection of the Switch.
100Base-TX port link LED is lit, but the trafc is irregular
Solution:
Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full duplex.
Some devices use a physical or software switch to change
duplex modes. Auto-negotiation may not recognize this type of
full-duplex setting.
Why the Switch doesn’t connect to the network
Solution:
Check the LNK/ACT LED on the Switch Try another port on the
Switch Make sure the cable is installed properly Make sure the
cable is the right type Turn off the power. After a while, turn on
power again.
