ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This manual describes how to install and use Signamax
16-port (model 065-7530) and 24-port (model 065-7540)
10/100 Dual Speed Ethernet Full Duplex Switches. They
feature either sixteen or twenty-four RJ-45 ports that auto
negotiate the presence of 100/10Mbps and full or half-
duplex mode. An optional 100BaseFX multi-mode or
single-mode fiber optic module enables long-distance
connection.
To get the most out of this manual, you should have an
understanding of networking concepts such as bridging,
IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet, and
local area networks (LAN).
For more information about these topics, please refer to
the Appendices.

INTRODUCTION
Benefits of Switching
Ethernet switching technology has dramatically boosted
the total bandwidth of a network. It puts configuration
flexibility and bandwidth adaptability into the local
workgroups, where the majority of work is generated.
It further eliminates congestion problems inherent to the
CSMA/CD protocol, and improves predictable response
time under heavy network loads. Expensive routing
equipment was used in the past to reduce the congestion
under heavy loads.
The new wave of object-oriented client and server
applications demands higher bandwidth and tighter
integration of client workstations with servers. The old
shared-access (hub/repeater) Ethernet technology
provides neither enough bandwidth nor sufficiently
predictable response time for this new wave of
workgroup computing.
Fast Ethernet switching not only satisfies both technical
and business requirements, but also preserves the user’s
existing investment in the huge 10BaseT Ethernet
installed base.

4Introduction
This compatibility ensures a path for users to add,
change, and migrate to Fast Ethernet as demands
emerge. It also provides a low cost and flexible
bandwidth solution directly to local workgroups where the
majority of work is generated, reducing the need for
expensive network equipment.
Signamax Switches
As a Fast Ethernet switch, Signamax 16-port (model 065-
7530) and 24-port (model 065-7540) 10/100 Dual Speed
Ethernet Full Duplex Switches have 16 and 24
10/100Mbps ports with an optional fiber-optic module,
flexibly meeting fiber-optic needs. The straightforward
design enables ease of operation while providing
superior performance.
Addressing the demand for fiber, Signamax provides an
optional multi-mode or single-mode fiber module for the 065-
7530 and 065-7540 as an optimum solution for long-distance
connectivity. The module supports one SC, ST, MT-RJ, or VF-
45 port.
Signamax Switches represent the newest generation in
Ethernet switching technology by supporting both
10Mbps and 100Mbps speed and half or full duplex
transmission modes on the same port. By using standard
auto-negotiation, Signamax provides both a cost-effective
way of integrating legacy 10Mbps segments with
100Mbps Fast Ethernet networks, and an ideal solution
for extending the distance between two 100Mbps
network segments.

Introduction 5
Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 switches support port-
based Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN). This
advanced feature gives the network administrator a
powerful, yet easy-to-use tool to reduce unnecessary
broadcast traffic, flexibly segment the network, and
enhance network security. The Signamax 065-7530/065-
7540 switches fully comply with IEEE 802.3u,
100BaseTX/FX, and IEEE 802.3, 10BaseT standards.

Ports
The Signamax 065-7530/065-7540 switches contain
16/24 RJ-45 10/100 Ethernet ports and one slot for the
optional module for fiber connection.
The auto-negotiation feature of the 065-7530/065-7540
switches allows communication between 10BaseT
(Ethernet) and 100BaseTX (Fast Ethernet) at full or half-
duplex mode. If it is desirable to operate at a fixed, rather
than auto-negotiated media setting, please refer to the
Port Settings section on page 28.
The optional module of the 065-7530/065-7540 switches
provides an additional port for fiber ST, SC, MT-RJ, or
VF-45. The latter are fiber-optic small-form-factor
connectors that are smaller and easier to use. The
optional module port also allows the use of single-mode
fiber for distances up to 75 km. For information on
module installation, please refer to page 17.
The maximum range of a 100BaseTX network connected
to the switch is 100 meters with Category 5 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable. A 10BaseT network may range
up to 100 meters with Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable. As
for the length of fiber link between a switch and a Data
Terminal Equipment, it is capable to span up to 2
kilometers (1.24 Mile) using 50/125 or 62.5/125-micron
multi-mode fiber-optic cable or up to 15/40/75 kilometers
using 9/125 or 10/125 micron single-mode fiber optic
cable in full-duplex mode.
