1. Introduction
The 8 10/100Base-TX Management Switch is a compact switch that is ideal
for SOHO (Small Office or Home Office) networks. It provides wired-speeds,
Fast Ethernet switching, and store-and-forward switching to attain
high-performance at low-cost connections. It can also auto-learn and store
source addresses on an 8K-entry MAC address table.
The Switch provides 8 auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports,
supporting Auto-MDIX function for each port. [In general, MDI means
connecting to another Hub or Switch while MDIX means connecting to a
workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto-MDIX means you can use any cable,
straight-through or cross-over, to connect to another Switch or workstation. ]
With its built-in Web-based Utility, managing and configuring the 8
10/100Base-TX Management Switch becomes easier. From cabinet
management to port-level control and monitoring, you can visually configure
and manage your network via Web Browser. Just click your mouse instead
of typing command strings. If you prefer using a Command Line Interface,
the 8 10/100Base-TX Management Switch can also be managed via Telnet,
Console, or SNMP Management.

ManagementMethods
The 8 10/100Base-TX Management Switch series supports the following
management methods:
Console and Telnet Management
Web-based Management
SNMP Network Management
Console and Telnet Management
Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Using this
method to manage the 8 10/100Base-TX Management Switch requires a
direct connection between the PC and the 8 10/100Base-TX Management
Switch. Telnet management is done over the network. Once the 8
10/100Base-TX Management Switch is on the network, you can use Telnet
to Log in and change the Switch’s configuration.
Web-based Management
The Switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory.
It offers advanced management features that allow a user to manage the 8
10/100Base-TX Management Switch from anywhere on the network by
using a standard browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

6
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to
monitor and control a network device, and to manage configuration, statistic
collection, performance, and security.

2. Hardware Description
This section mainly describes the hardware of the 8 10/100Base-TX
Management Switch.
FrontPanel
The Front Panel of the 8 10/100Base-TX Management Switch consist of 8
auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports (automatic MDI/MDIX).
The LED indicators are also located on the frond panel of the switch.
Figure 2-1. The Front Panel of the 8 10/100Base-TX Management Switch
RJ-45 Ports (Auto-MDIX): Eight 10/100Mbps ports can automatically
sense 10Base-T or 100Base-TX connections.
[In general, MDI means connecting to another Hub or Switch while
MDIX means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto-MDIX
means you can use any cable, straight-through or cross-over, to
connect to another Switch or workstation. ]
LEDIndicators
There are three LED-Indicators (100M, LNK/ACT, FDX/COL) for each UTP
port. The following table provides a description for each LED status and
meaning. They provide a real-time indication of systematic operation status.

RearPanel
The Console port and 3-pronged power plug are located at the Rear Panel
of the 8 10/100Base-TX Management Switch as shown in Figure 2-3. The

Switch will work with the AC in the range of 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.
Figure 2-3 The Rear Panel of the 8 10/100Base-TX Management Switch
Console Port: Console management can be done through the Console
Port. It requires a direct connection between the Switch and an end station
(PC) via a RS-232 cable.
DesktopInstallation
Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby.
The surface where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level, and
sturdy. Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to
allow attachment of cables, power cord and air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Feet
1. Make sure that the mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is
grease and dust free.
2. Remove the adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.
3. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch.
These footpads help prevent shock/vibration.

Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the Switch.
The other side of power cord connects to the power outlet. Check the power
indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.

3. Network Application
This section provides you a few examples of how the switch is applied to a
given network topology. In general, the 8 10/100Base-TX Management
Switch is designed to be used as a desktop or segment switch.
DesktopApplication
The 8 10/100Base-TX Management Switch is designed to be a desktop size
switch that is an ideal solution for small workgroup. The Switch can be used
as a standalone switch to which personal computers, server, printer server
are directly connected to form small workgroup.
Figure 3-1. Desktop Application
SegmentApplication
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly
processed, this switch is suitable for a department user to connect to the
corporate backbone.

12
Figure 3-2 Segment Application
You can use the 8 10/100Base-TX Management Switch to connect PCs,
workstations, and servers to each other by connecting these devices
directly to the Switch. All the devices in this network can communicate with
each other. Connecting servers to the backbone switch allow other users to
access the server’s data.
The Switch automatically learns each node’s address, which are
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination
address. You can use any port on the 8 10/100Base-TX Management
Switch to connect with another Switch or Hub to interconnect each of your
small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.

4. Network Configuration
This Section explains how to configure console management via a direct
connection to the console port of the 8 10/100Base-TX Management
Switch.
Console management involves the administration of the Switch via a direct
connection to the RS-232 console port. This port is a female DB-9
connector. From the main menu of the console program, user has access to
manage the functions of the Switch.
ConnectingtotheConsolePort
Use the supplied RS-232 cable to connect a terminal or PC to the console
port. The terminal or PC to be connected must support the terminal
emulation program.
Figure 4-1. Connecting the Switch to a terminal via RS-232 cable
After the connection between Switch and PC is finished, turn on the PC and
run a terminal emulation program or Hyper Terminal to match the
following default characteristics of the console port:

14
Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Data Bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop Bit: 1
Control flow: None
