User’s Guide

FCC Warning
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
regulations for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with this user’s guide, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his or her own expense.
CE Mark Warning
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product
may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required
to take adequate measures.
VCCI Warning
This is a product of VCCI Class A Compliance.

UL Warning
a) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature- If installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated
ambient temperature (Tmra).
b) Reduced Air Flow- Installation of the equipment in a rack should
be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
c) Mechanical Loading- mounting of the equipment in the rack
should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to
uneven mechanical loading.
d) Circuit Overloading- Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of circuits might have on over current protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
e) Reliable Earthing- Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.,
use of power strips).

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the features of the 48+4G-Port
10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch and some
background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet
switching technology.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the
same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD protocol,
full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold
increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a
hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible
with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit
Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a
company’s existing investment in hardware, software, and trained
personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet
is essential to coping with the network bottlenecks that frequently
develop as computers and their busses get faster and more users use
applications that generate more traffic. Upgrading key components,
such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly
improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the
traffic between your subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to support
video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive
applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than
Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to
perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time.
