1. Introduction
1-1. Overview of the 065-7931 16-Port Gigabit WebSmart Switch
The 065-7931 16-port Gigabit WebSmart Switch is a standard switch that
meets all IEEE 802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet, and Standard Ethernet
specifications. The switch includes 14 10/100/1000 Mbps Twisted Pair (TP) ports
and 2 Gigabit dual media TP/SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber ports. The
switch can be managed through any Ethernet port using a Web-based management
user interface: with web-based management, the network administrator can log on
to the switch to monitor, configure and control each port’s activity. In addition, the
switch implements QoS (Quality of Service), VLAN, and Trunking. It is suitable for
virtually any office application.
In this switch, Ports 15 & 16 include two types of media --- TP and SFP Fiber
(LC, BiDi-LC…); this port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps TP or 1000 Mbps SFP Fiber
with an auto-detection function. 1000 Mbps SFP Fiber transceivers are used for
high-speed connection expansion.
⎯1000 Mbps LC, Multi-Mode, SFP Fiber transceiver
⎯1000 Mbps LC, 10 Km, SFP Fiber transceiver
⎯1000 Mbps LC, 30 Km, SFP Fiber transceiver
⎯1000 Mbps LC, 50 Km, SFP Fiber transceiver
⎯1000 Mbps BiDi-LC, 20 Km, 1550 nm SFP Fiber WDM transceiver
⎯1000 Mbps BiDi-LC, 20 Km, 1310 nm SFP Fiber WDM transceiver
10/100/1000 Mbps TP is a standard Ethernet port that meets all IEEE
802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. 1000 Mbps SFP Fiber transceiver
is a Gigabit Ethernet port that fully complies with all IEEE 802.3z and 1000Base-
SX/LX standards.
1000 Mbps Single Fiber WDM (BiDi) transceiver is designed with an optic
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology that transports bi-directional
full duplex signal over a single fiber simultaneously.
• Key Features in the Device
QoS:
The switch offers powerful QoS function. This function supports TOS field of
IP header (equal DSCP low 3 bits) on Layer 3 of network framework and 6
kinds of special network transmission events on Layer 4.
VLAN:
Supports Port-based VLAN, IEEE 802.1Q Tag VLAN. Supports 16 active
VLANs and VLAN ID 1~4094.
Port Trunking:
Allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a Link
Aggregation Group by the static setting.
