Preface
This manual describes how to install and use the Signamax
065-7310F series 8-Port 100BaseFX Fiber Switch. Both
100BaseFX multimode and singlemode versions are available
for this product series.
To get the most out of this manual, you should have an
understanding of networking concepts such as bridging, IEEE
802.3 Ethernet and 100BaseFX Fast Ethernet, and local area
networks (LANs).

Introduction
8-Port Ethernet Fiber Switch
The Signamax8-port 100BaseFX fiber switch adds 100
Mbps switching performance in a cost-effective rack mount
package. This eight-port switch provides multimode (models
065-7310FSC and 065-7310FST) or singlemode (model
065-7310FSM) fiber ports.
This switch is useful for segmenting networks that are bogged
down with excess traffic. By splitting a network into several
segments and bridging them, you can cut the traffic load on
your network and reduce collisions on each segment,
especially if you can minimize intersegment traffic by placing
users and devices that normally communicate with each other
on the same segment.
This switch fully complies with the IEEE802.3u 100BaseFX
standard. It features non-blocking "wire-speed” switching
mechanisms, as well as the ability to filter local traffic,
collisions, and errored packets to maximize network
performance.

Fiber ports.
♦Designed in compliance with IEEE802.3u 100BaseFX
standards.
♦Supports 802.3x Flow Control pause packet for
Full-Duplex in case buffer is full.
♦Supports Back Pressure functionality for Half-Duplex
operation in case the buffer is full.
♦Supports Store & Forward architecture and performs
forwarding and filtering at non-blocking full wire speed.
♦Broadcast Storming Filter function.
♦Comprehensive array of LED indicators that
communicate the status of the switch and
troubleshooting information.
Packing List
When you unpack the switch, you should find the items listed
below. Please inspect the contents, and report any apparent
damage or missing items immediately to your authorized
reseller.

Front Panel
The front panel of the switch has eight ports and an array of
LED indicators to provide you with instant feedback on the
status of the switch.
Figure 1: Front Panel
PORTS
Since the 100BaseFX ports are fiber optic ports, they are
capable of accepting only 100BaseFX connections. When
connected to a 100BaseFX network, the ports operate at
100Mbps in half-duplex mode and 200Mbps in full-duplex
mode.
The length of the FX fiber link between a switch and Data
Terminal Equipment is dependent on the fiber media;
100BaseFX is capable of spanning at least 2 Kilometers using
62.5/125-micron fiber optic cable, and up to 75 Kilometers
using 10/125-micron fiber optic cable.
The following table summarizes the port and cable
specifications for this switch.

LEDS
The array of LED indicators on the front panel conveys status
and configuration information to help you monitor and
troubleshoot the switch.
Figure 2: LED & Button Indicators
Port Status
Each port has an array of three LEDs to show status
information. The LEDs are identified by a corresponding array
of captions located beside the LEDs on the front panel.
♦LNK/ACT:
The link indicator is the top LED. It is illuminated
whenever the port is connected to another working
network device. The LED flashes when the port is
transmitting or receiving data.
♦100:
The middle LED shines whenever the switch detects
that the corresponding port is connected to a
100BaseFX segment.
♦FDX/COL:
The lower LED is illuminated when the port is operating
in full-duplex mode. When this LED is off, the port is
operating in half-duplex mode. The LED flashes when
the switch detects packet collisions on the port.

Installation
This chapter presents step-by-step installation instructions for
The Signamax8-port 100BaseFX fiber switch.
Selecting a Site for the Switch
♦As with any electronic device, you should place the
Switch where it will not be subjected to extreme
temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference.
Specifically, the site you select should meet the
following requirements:
♦The room temperature should be between 32 and 104
degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).
♦The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent,
non-condensing.
♦Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the
electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3,
Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
♦Make sure that the switch receives adequate
ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on the
side of the switch or the fan exhaust port on the rear of
the switch.
♦The power outlet should be within 6 feet (1.8meter) of
the switch.

Connecting to Power
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the
back of the switch, and then plug the cord into a standard AC
outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 240 VAC.
Turn the Ethernet switch on by flipping the ON/OFF switch on
the rear of the unit to the I (ON) position. The O position is
OFF.
Figure 3: Rear view of the switch
Connecting to Your Network
Prepare a pair of fiber optic cables with SC or ST type
connectors at both ends.
If you are making a connection to a server or workstation, be
sure that it has a properly installed 100BaseFX network
interface card. Connect the Rx/Tx jacks on the target device
to the Tx/Rx jacks on the switch.
