1.2 Introduction
The 8/16-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch is designed to allow simultaneous
transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data channel. This means that
it can partition a network more efciently than bridges or routers in most environments.
This Switch is a highly reliable network switch and is the ideal device for bridging Ethernet
to Fast Ethernet workgroups or networks. Simple and cost-effective, the Switch complies
to IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3, 100Base-TX, and 10Base-T. Therefore, the Switch will be the
fast being recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today networking
technology. Choice of 100Base-FX optic-ber ST/SC interface,
The FSD-801/1601ST&SC are also ideal to extend the network distance up to 2 kilometers
away as a link to your remote backbone.
The Switch also provide rack-mounting kits option for being installed On 10-inch or 19-
inch rack to ease the placement and management effort.
Compact in size and designed for Plug and Play installation, the Switch allows the network
administrator to simply connect the network and power cables and the switching/bridging
functions begin automatically. No hardware or software congurations are required.
The front panel of the Switch provides LED indicators for easy recognition of the switch
operation status and for troubleshooting. These LED indicators display the power status
for the system and link/activity, speed, and full-duplex status for each port.
With 8/16-port Fast Ethernet Switching designed specically for connecting workgroup
devices and desktops, companies no longer have to invest in expensive and inexible
switches engineered primarily for backbone implementations. Instead, companies can
deploy scaleable, affordable switches that increase the aggregate bandwidth of the
network by boosting throughput to the workgroups that need it most.

 NOTE:
1. For fiber-optic connection, please check the opposite end is us-
ing the same transmit mode before make the connection.
2. Port#16 of the switch is shared with 100Base-FX port. Make
sure either Fiber-optic or twisted pair port is being connected.
3. For more information about the Smart function, please refer to
Chapter 3.
4. All the DIP is in OFF position by default!
2.3 Hardware Installation
1. Place the Switch on a smooth surface
2. Connect the output cord of power supply to the AC inlet.
3. Connect hub or PC to one port of the Switch using Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP
cabling.
4. Connect another hub or PC to the other port of Switch by following the same
process as described in Step 3.
Notice:
Cable distance for the Switch
The cable distance between the Switch and hub / PC should not exceed 100
meter.
The fiber-optic should not exceed 412 meters in Half-duplex mode and 2 kilome-
ters for Full-duplex mode
Make sure the wiring is correct
It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10Mbps operation. To reliably operate your
network at 100Mbps, you must use an Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Category 5
cable, or better Data Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cable may initially
seem to work, it will soon cause data loss.
The fiber-optic cable should be a multi-mode fiber cable with 62.5/125μm or
50/125μm in specification.
You can find the information from the printing of the cable. If you are not familiar
with it, please consult your local dealers for the information.
Power System
The Switch accepts AC input with 100~240V AC, 50/60Hz. To prevent from data
loss or network downtime, consider install an UPS (Un-interrupt Power Supply) for
the Switch. And in some area, a surge suppression device also can help to prevent
from the Switch being damaged by un-regulated surge or current to it.
All kinds of hub / PC can connect to switch by using straight-through wires. The Switch
also supports auto MDI detection. This means you can direct connect any port of the
Switch to another MDI-X devices with a straight wire.

Chapter 3
Configuration and Application
This chapter shows you how the Switch works, and how to install the Switch and also to
congure the smart functions provided in the 16-port model.
3.1 The Switch Operation
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. The information comes from the learning process
of Ethernet Switch.
Learning
When one packet comes in from any port. The Ethernet Switch will record the source
address, port no. and the other related information in address table. These information
will be used to decide either forwarding or ltering for future packets.
Forwarding & Filtering
When one packet comes from some port of the Ethernet Switch, it will also check the
destination address besides the source address learning. The Ethernet Switch 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 Switch 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, when this packet will be ltered. Thereby increasing the network
throughput and availability
Store-and-Forward
Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and-Forward
Ethernet Switch 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 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.
A Ethernet Switch 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 switch, 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

8
9
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.
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 (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 100Base-TX port in either Half- or Full-Duplex
mode.
If attached device is: 100Base-TX port will set to:
*10Mbps, no auto-negotiation 10Mbps
*10Mbps, with auto-negotiation 10/20Mbps (10Base-T/Full-Duplex)
*100Mbps, no auto-negotiation 100Mbps
*100Mbps, with auto-negotiation 100/200Mbps (100Base-TX/Full-Duplex)
3.2 The Smart Function (16-port model)
The FSD-1600 and FSD-1601 is with one DIP switch on the rear of the switch, these ON/
OFF switches provides the functions as below:
• Twisted Pair or Fiber-optic selection
• Port based VLAN
• Port Trunking
• ToS/ QoS selection
• Priority Setup
They are all in OFF position by default!
3.2.1 TP or Fiber-optic selection (for FSD-1601 only)
Related DIP: 1, 2
Default meaning: Port#16 runs in Twisted pair, Auto-Negotiation.
DIP 1: Turns on will force the ber-optic port enabled.
 NOTE: Please do not turn on if you are using FSD-1600.
DIP 2: Turns on will force the 100Base-FX ber-optic port runs in Full-duplex mode.

10
11
3.2.2 Port-based VLAN
Related DIP: 3, 4
Default meaning: No VLAN setting.
VLAN can be used to separate ports into different groups in the same switch. This will
secure port from being accessed by other ports on the switch.
DIP 4: Turns on will enable the port-based VLAN capability
DIP 3: The two positions represent two different VLAN choices:
OFF:There are 14 VLANs. Port 1 to Port 14 can communicate with Port 15,
and Port 16 where 1 to 14 cannot see each other.
ON: There are 15 VLANs. Port 1 to Port 15 cannot see each other but they
all can retrieve data from port 16. i.e. members of VLAN 1 are 1 & 16,
VLAN 2 are 2 & 16, VLAN 3 are 3 & 16, etc.
3.2.3 Port-Trunking
Related DIP: 5, 6, 7, 8
Default meaning: No port-trunking.
Port trunks will four times the bandwidth (800Mbps) while connecting with another
switches that also with port trunk capability. Up to four groups where each group with 4
ports is allowed.
DIP 5: Turns on to enable trunk 0, from port 1 to port 4.
DIP 6: Turns on to enable trunk 1, from port 5 to port 8.
DIP 7: Turns on to enable trunk 2, from port 9 to port 12.
DIP 8: Turns on to enable trunk 3, from port 13 to port 16.
 NOTE: Turn on the Trunk will also disable VLAN capability.
3.2.4 IP ToS/DS (DiffServ), VLAN Tag Based QoS
Related DIP: 9, 10
Default meaning: No priority-packet detection.
The Switch will store each incoming packets and check the tag eld to determine the
priority, high or low. Then follow the priority to forward to the destination.
The Switch supports two types of detection.
• VLAN Tag-based detection (Layer 2)
• ToS/DS (DiffServ) detection (IP Layer 3)
DIP 9: Turns on for IP ToS/DS QoS.

10
11
DIP 10: Turns on for VLAN tag priority QoS.
 NOTE:
The connected end-nodes (PCs, Routers) should also support
VLAN priority or ToS priority. Normally, these functions could
turn off by default. Check the user’s guide of your networked
device for this capability.
3.2.5 Port-based priority
Related DIP: 11, 12
Default meaning: No hardware port priority.
If your end-nodes do not support priority, and you would like to preserve more bandwidth
for those network users, port-based priority will direct set the related port to high
priority.
DIP 11 DIP 12 Description
ON OFF Port 1 and Port 2 are high priority ports
OFF ON Port 1~ 4 are high priority ports
ON ON Port 1 ~8 are high priority ports
 NOTE:
FSD-1600/1601 only support dual priority, this means the
priority only will be HIGH or LOW no matter which port you
connected to.
 NOTE: Priority support can co-work with VLAN.
3.3 Application
3.3.1 Basic 100Mbps Server, PCs to 10/100Mbps Switch
Plug one end of the Category 5 UTP Cable into any one port of the Switch, and the other
end of this cable into the RJ-45 of Fast Ethernet Adapter in the server or PC. The cable
length between these 2 connecting points should not exceed 100 meters.

Figure 3-1 10/100Mbps File server to Switch Connection
3.3.2 Connect to 100Base-FX Switch/Device (Model: FSD-801/1601)
Plug the pair the ber-cable to the Switch’s ber-optic port, secure the ber-optic
connector. Connect to other end to the ber-optic port of the device like repeater hub,
switch or workstations.
Be noted for the duplex mode. For Hub, only Half-Duplex mode can be selected, at the
mean time, the cable distance cannot exceed 412 meters. For Switch or end-node that
works on full-duplex mode, the maximum distance cannot exceed 2 kilometers.
The pair of the connectors must be crossed, ie. TX/RX port of the Switch should connect
to RX/TX Port of the device in other end.
Consult your local dealer for more information about ber-optic wires, connector type or
network distances.

Turn on the DIP 4, the FSD-1600 soon separate the fourteen ports (Port 1 to Port 14) into
different group, then you can install two le servers to port 15, port 16, those fourteen
users shall not see each other where they can freely access the information from the
two le server. Or, port 15 is connect to your local server and port 16 up connect to your
networks backbone, either 100 meters (FSD-1600) or 2 kilometers away (FSD-1601, both
DIP 1 & 2 in ON position)
3.3.4 Set up Video/Voice Networks (Model: FSD-1600/1601)
Some networks could have a devices like Video or Voice device like Internet Telephony
Gateway, the support of priority may help you to make your voice or video in higher
position to get the precious networks bandwidth, for example to the Intermet.
If your Voice Gateway support ToS, you may direct turn on the DIP 9 to get the higher
priority, or if your device or network nodes do not support you can turn on DIP 11 or DIP
12 to have the hardware priority,

Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If the Switch is not
functioning properly, make sure the Switch was set up according to instructions in this
manual.
The Link LED is not Lit
Solution:
Make sure the switch conguration is consistent with the connecting device
Check the cable connections.
Performance is bad
Solution:
Check the full duplex status of the Ethernet Switch. If the Ethernet Switch is set to full
duplex and the partner is set to half duplex, then the performance will be poor.
Some stations can not talk to other stations located on the other port
Solution:
The address table may contain older information than of the address table of that node.
Please power down to refresh the address information.
