The Switch provides 8 100Mbps Fiber ports and one GBIC slot for
optional GBIC modules.
The fiber ports are 100Base-SC type multi-mode fiber ports support up to
2kms distance.
With their build-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring
the TEG-S081FMi 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. However, the TEG-S081FMi Switch can also be
managed via Telnet, Console, or SNMP Management.

Management Methods
The 8port Fiber Management Switch series supports following
4

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 TEG-S081FMi Switch in this method requires a direct
connection between PC and the TEG-S081FMi Switch. While Telnet
management is done over the network. Once the TEG-S081FMi Switch
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 TEG-S081FMi Switch 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
FrontPanel
The Front Panel of the Fiber Management Switch series consist of 8x
100Mbps Fast Ethernet Fiber and GBIC ports, and the LED indicators
are also located on the frond panel of the switch.
Figure 2-1. The Front Panel of the Fiber 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.

Baud Rate: 9600,N,8,1
100Base-FX Fiber Port: There are 2 types of fiber connectors
available for the TEG-S081FMi Switchas shown above. The
distance for fiber cabling can be extended up to 2 kilometers.

GBIC port : It only support 3.3V model Gigabit Transceiver for
Gigabit SX or LX.
LEDIndicators
Figure 2-3. LED Indicators
There are three LED-Indicators (LNK/ACT, FDX/COL) for each Fiber port.
The following table provides descriptions of the LED statuses and
meaning. They provide a real-time indication of systematic operation
status.
LED Status Color Description
Power On Green Power On
LNK /
ACT
On Green
The port is successfully connecting
with the device on 100Mbps.
Blinks Green The port is receiving or transmitting
data.
Off No device attached.
FDX /
COL
On Orange The port is operating in Full-duplex
mode and device is attached.
Blinks Orange Collision of Packets occurs in the port.
Off
Half-duplex mode or no device
attached.

Rear Panel
The Console port and 3-pronged power plug are located at the Rear
Panel of the TEG-S081FMi Switch as shown in Figure 2-8. The Switches
will work with AC in the range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.

Management Switch
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.
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 TEG-S081FMi Switch is designed to be
used as a desktop or segment switch.
SegmentApplication
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 TEG-S081FMi 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 node address, which are subsequently
used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address. You
can use any of the Fiber port of the Fiber Management Switch to connect
with another Switch or Hub to interconnect each of your small switched
workgroups to form a larger and long distance switched network.

Network Configuration
This Section explains how to configure console management via a direct
connection to the console port of the 8 port Fast Ethernet Fiber
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.
Connecting a Terminal or
PC to the Console Port
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
