TRENDnet TE100-S2424V User manual

Preface
This manual describes how to install and use 16/24 port
Ethernet switch, TE100-S1616V/TE100-S2424V. It features
16/24 ports that auto negotiate the presence of 10/100Mbps
and full or half-duplex mode. An optional 100BASE-FX
multi-mode or single-mode module enables long-distance
connection. An optional BNC module enables backwards
compatibility.
To get the most out of this manual, you should have an
understanding of networking concepts such as bridging, IEEE
802.3 Ethernet and 100BASE-TX 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 ofwork 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
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 10 Base-T Ethernet installed Base.
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.
TE100-S1616V/TE100-S2424V
16/24-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Switch
TE100-S1616V/TE100-S2424V has 16/24 10/100Mbps ports with
an optional fiber-optic module, flexibly meeting fiber-optic needs.
The straight-forward design enables ease of operation while
providing superior performance.
Addressing the demand for fiber, we provide an optional multi-
mode or single-mode fiber module for TE100-

User’s Guide 5
S1616V/TE100S2424V as an optimum solution for long-distance
connectivity. The module supports one SC, ST, MT-RJ, or VF-45
port. A BNC connector is also available to address the backward
compatibility issue.
This switch 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, it provides 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.
TE100-S1616V/TE100-S2424V supports 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.
TE100-S1616V/TE100S2424V fully complies with IEEE802.3u,
100BASE-TX/FX, and IEEE802.3, 10BASE-T standards

Ports
TE100-S1616V is similar to TE100-S2424V except that TE100-
S1616V has 16 RJ-45 10/100 Ethernet ports while TE100-S2424V
has 24. TE100-S1616V/TE100-S2424V also has one slot for
optional module for fiber or BNC connection.
The auto-negotiation feature of TE100-S1616V/TE100-S2424V
allows communication between 10Base-T(Ethernet) and 100Base-
TX (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 35.
The optional module of the switch provides an additional port for
copper BNC or 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 15 km. For information on module
installation, please refer to page 23.
The maximum range of a 100BASE-TX network connected to the
switch is 100 meters with Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable. A 10BASE-T 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 at least 2 kilometers (1.24 Mile) using 62.5/125-micron multi-
