INTRODUCTION
This section describes the features of the 8-Port
10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch, as well as giving
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 increasein theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps
Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps
Ethernet. Since it is compatible with 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 when 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.

4
Since the Gigabit Ethernet data transfer rate is 10 times faster
than Fast Ethernet, servers equipped with Gigabit Ethernet
NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in
the same amount of time. This makes Gigabit Ethernet the
perfect solution for video conferencing, complex imaging, and
similar data-intensive applications.
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 dividing
network into different segments and each segment has its own
bandwidth (10, 100, or 1000Mbps).
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 maintaining the same
network cabling and adapter cards.

5
LAN Switching technology is a marked improvement over the
previous generation of network bridges, which were criticized
by their higher latencies. Routers have also been used to
segment local area networks. But, the router is expensive,
difficult to setup, and maintenance intensive, these make it
relatively impractical for the network. Switch, on the other hand,
is less expensive, easier to setup, and practically maintenance
free, which make it an ideal solution to today’s local area
network congestion problems.
Features

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 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch
? ?Accessory pack: 2 mounting brackets and screws
? ?Four rubber feet with adhesive backing
? ?One AC power cord
? ?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:
? ?The surface must support at least 5 kg.
? ?The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the
device.

8
? ?Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is secured
fully to the AC power connector.
? ?Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and
adequate ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy
objects on the Switch.
Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber
feet included with the device must be first attached. Attach
these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the
device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and
the objects around it.

Rack Installation
The Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch
rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other
equipments. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the
switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them with
the screws provided.

IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED
indicators of the Switch
Front Panel
The front panel of the Switch consists of 8 1000BASE-T ports
and LED indicators.
Front panel of the Switch
? ?Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports of 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-
Negotiation interface. These ports also auto-sense MDI-
X/MDI-II, you can connect the port to either MDI-X or
MDI-II (uplink) port with regular cable or crossover cable,
and it will negotiate the correct mdeia type.
? ?Comprehensive LED indicators that display the conditions
of the Switch and status of the network. A description of
these LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators).

12
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Switch consists of an AC power
connector and on/off switch. The following shows the rear
panel of the Switch.
