INTRODUCTION
This section describes the features of the 5-Port 1000BASE-T
Gigabit Ethernet Switch, as well as providing some
background information about Gigabit Ethernet and switching
technology.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for
CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and
management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical
throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold
increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all
10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit
Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a
company’s existing investment in hardware, software, and
trained personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit
Ethernet is essential to coping with the network bottlenecks
that frequently develop as computers and their busses get faster
and more users use applications that generate more traffic.
Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and
servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network
response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic
between your subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet supports video conferencing, complex
imaging, and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise,
since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet,

4
servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to
perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount
of time.
Switching Technology
Another key development pushing the limits of Ethernet
technology is in the field of switching technology. A switch
bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the
Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or
fast Ethernet LAN segments.
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total
network capacity available to users on a local area network. A
switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by
making it possible for a local area network to be divided into
different segments which don’t compete with each other for
network transmission capacity, giving a decreased load on
each.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the
individual segments. Traffic that needs to go from one segment
to another is automatically forwarded by the switch, without
interfering with any other segments. This allows the total
network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the
same network cabling and adapter cards.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the
previous generation of network bridges, which were
characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used
to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router and the
setup and maintenance required make routers relatively

5
impractical. Today’s switches are an ideal solution to most
kinds of local area network congestion problems.

UNPACKING AND SETUP
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch.
Unpacking
Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its
contents. The carton should contain the following items:
One 5-Port 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Four rubber feet with adhesive backing
One external power adapter
This User’s Guide
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local
reseller for replacement.
Setup
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps:
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical
Specification for the acceptable operation temerature and
humidity ranges.
Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic
source,vibration, dust,and direct sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the left and right hand side of
the Switch for ventilation.
Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is
fully secured to the power adapter.

DC Power Jack:
Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Check the
technical specification section for information about the AC power
input voltage.
1000BASE-T Ports:
Five Gigabit Ethernet ports of 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation
interface.
LED Indicators
The LED indicators of the Switch include Power, Link/Act,
1000Mbps and 100Mbps. The following shows the LED indicators for
the Switch along with an explanation of each indicator.
zPOWER
This indicator lights green when the Switch is receiving power,
otherwise, it is off.
zLink/Act
These LED indicators are lighted up when there is a secure
connection (or link) to the desired port. The LED indicators
blinking whenever there is reception or transmission (i.e. Activity—
Act) of data occurring at a port.
z1000Mbps

11
These LED indicators are lighted up when there is a secure
connection (or link) to 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet device at the
desired port.
z100Mbps
These LED indicators are lighted up when there is a secure
connection (or link) to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet device at the desired
port.
When the connection (or link) is 10Mbps, both of 1000Mbps and
100Mbps LED indicators are off.
