Introduction
In the modern society, communication and sharing information is
essential to our lifestyle. Computer networks have proven to be one of
the fastest methods of communication.
The 8-port Management Switch series are compact desktop size
switches which are ideal solutions for SOHO (Small Office or Home
Office) network user. It provides wire-speed, Fast Ethernet switching
function that allows high-performance, low-cost connection. The
Switches feature a store-and-forward switching and it can auto-learn
and store source address on an 8K-entry MAC address table.
Figure 1-1. The 8port Management Switch
The Switches provides 8 switched auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
Ethernet portsplus one 100Base-FX fiber port. The Switch will
automatically detects the speed of the device that you plug into it to
allow you to use both 10 and 100Mbps device. The 10Mbps
bandwidth will accommodate 10Mbps workgroup hubs while
simultaneously providing the 100Mbps bandwidth needed to
accommodate multimedia applications. In addition, each RJ-45 port
supports Auto-MDIX function.
TheTE100-S810Fi couples with one 100Base-FX fiber port. There are
4 types of fiber connectors available for the convenience of your
connectivity on the Switch. These fiber connectors are
SC/MT-RJ/VF-45 (multi-mode fiber) and SC (single-mode fiber).

However, the fiber port can be used to connect to a remote side up to
2 Kilometers (multi-mode fiber) or 15~60 kilometers (SC single- mode
fiber) away.
With their build-in Web-based Management, managing and
configuring the TE100-S810Fi 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. However, the
TE100-S810Fi can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or SNMP
Management.

Management Methods
The TE100-S810Fi series supports 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.
Managing the TE100-S810Fi in this method requires a direct
connection between PC and the TE100-S810Fi. While Telnet
management is done over the network. Once the TE100-S810Fi is on
the network, you can use Telnet to Log in and change the
configuration.
Web-based Management
The Switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing in flash
memory. It offers advanced management features and allow users to
manage the TE100-S810Fi from anywhere on the network through a
standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP ( Simple Network Management Protocol ) provides a
means to monitor and control network device, and to manage
configurations, statistic collection, performance, and security.

Hardware Description
This section mainly describes the hardware of the TE100-S810Fi
series. The Switches is a compact switch ( 10 inches ) with 8x
auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports ( 8TP Management
Switch ) plus one 100Base-FX fiber port (TE100-S810Fi ).
The physical dimensions of the TE100-S810Fi are: 250mmx
132mmx 37mm ( Lx Wx H )
Front Panel
The Front Panel of the TE100-S810Fi series consist of 8x
auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports ( automatic
MDI/MDIX ), one 100Base-FX fiber port (TE100-S810Fi ) and the
LED indicators are also located on the frond panel of the switch.
Figure 2-1. The Front Panel of the TE100-S810Fi
The Front Panel of the TE100-S810Fi is displayed as below. There
are four types of fiber connectors available for the convenience of
your connectivity. These fiber connector is SC multi-mode.

Figure 2-2. The Front Panel of the TE100-S810Fi
RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX ): Eight 10/100 auto- sensing
for 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 MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to
another Switch or workstation without changing
non-crossover or crossover cabling. ]
100Base-FX Fiber Port: The distance for fiber cabling can
be extended up to 2 kilometers.
LED Indicators

Rear Panel
The Console port and 3-pronged power plug are located at the Rear
Panel of the TE100-S810Fi as shown in Figure 2-8. The Switches will
work with AC in the range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.
Figure 2-7 The Rear Panel of the TE100-S810Fi

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.
Desktop Installation
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
A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease
and dust free.
B. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.
C. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch.
These footpads can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.
Figure 2-8. Attaching Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the
Switch

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.
The internal power supply in the Switch works with AC in the voltage
range 100-240VAC, frequency 50~60Hz.
Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is
properly supplied.

Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which
the Switch is used. In general, the TE100-S810Fi series are designed
to be used as a desktop or segment switch.
Desktop Application
The TE100-S810Fi series are designed to be a desktop size switch
which 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

13
Segment Application
For enterprise networks where large data broadcast are constantly
processed, this switch is suitable for department user to connect to the
corporate backbone.
Figure 3-2 Segment Application
You can use the TE100-S810Fi 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 node address, which are
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the
destination address. You can use any of the RJ-45 port of the
TE100-S810Fi to connect with another Switch or Hub to interconnect
each of your small switched workgroups to form a larger switched
network.

Figure 3-3 Use fiber port (TE100-S810Fi ) to extend the distance
between workgroups
In the above illustration, two TE100-S810Fi are used to interconnect
two small workgroups. By using fiber ports to connect switches, the
distance between two switches via fiber cable can be up to 2km.

Network Configuration
This Section explains how to configure console management via a
direct connection to the console port of the TE100-S810Fi.
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.
Connecting a Terminal or
PC to the Console Port
Figure 4-1. Connecting the TE100-S810Fi
to a terminal via RS-232 cable
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.

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:
Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Data Bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop Bit: 1
Control flow: None
Figure 4-2.
The settings of communication parameters
After you have finished parameter settings, press “ Enter “ Key and
the Main Menu of console management appears.
Console –Menu
1. The switch also provide a serial interface to manage and monitor the
switch, user can follow the Console Port Information provide by web to
