INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the features of the TPE-224WS 28-Port
10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart PoE Switch and some
background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet
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 enables fast optical fiber connections to support
video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive
applications. Likewise, since data transfer occurs 10 times faster than
Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to
perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of
time.

3
In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet
is the most cost-effective method to take advantage of today and
tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking
technologies. And with expected advances in the coming years in
silicon technology and digital signal processing that will enable
Gigabit Ethernet to eventually operate over unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cabling, outfitting your network with a powerful 1000-Mbps-
capable backbone/server connection creates a flexible foundation for
the next generation of network technology products.
Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of
desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high
performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies
have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve
client/server response times. Among them, 100BASE-T (Fast
Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the
current 10BASE-T technology. The non-disruptive and smooth
evolution nature, and the dominating potential market base, virtually
guarantees cost-effective and high performance Fast Ethernet
solutions.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3u
LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard
with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while
maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet is compatible with all other 10Mbps Ethernet
environments, it provides a straightforward upgrade and takes
advantage of the existing investment in hardware, software, and
personnel training.
4
Switching Technology
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology
is the development 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 a local
area network into different segments, which don’t compete with each
other for network transmission capacity.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the
individual segments. The switch, without interfering with any other
segments, automatically forwards traffic that needs to go from one
segment to another. By doing this the total network capacity is
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, the setup and maintenance required
make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal
solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.

5
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their
physical location and can communicate as if a common broadcast
domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce
latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead. Other
VLAN utility includes:
Security, Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in
eavesdropping on a broadcast network because data will be switched
to only those confidential users within the VLAN.
Cost Reduction, VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast
domains, thus eliminating the need of expensive routers.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) integrates power and data onto one single
cabling infrastructure, eliminating the need to have AC power
available at all locations.
Power and Data are integrated onto the same cable. Supporting
category 5/5e up to 100 Meters, PoE will provide power to PoE
compatible device, such as IP telephones, wireless LAN access points,
and IP security cameras.
PoE is already widely adopted in the market, saving up to 50% of
overall installation costs by eliminating the need to install separate
electrical wiring and power outlets.

This setting determines whether or not the Switch will be handling
flow control. Set Flow Control to Enable to avoid data transfer
overflow. Set it to Disable; is flow control is not needed
When the port is set to forced mode, then the flow control will
automatically set to Disable.
QoS:
Displays each port’s 802.1p QoS priority level for received data
packet handling. Default setting for all ports is Middle. You can
change the priority settings in 802.1p Default Priority.

IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
A VLAN is a collection of ports that make up a single broadcast
domain.
VLANs can be easily organized to reflect department groups (such as
R&D, Marketing), usage groups (such as e-mail), or multicast groups
(multimedia applications such as video conferencing). VLANs help to
simplify network management by allowing users to move devices to a
new VLAN without having to change any physical connections.
The IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Configuration page provides powerful VID
management functions. By default, the VID is 01, named “default”,
and all 16 ports are configured as “Untagged”.
Asymmetric VLAN
If asymmetric VLAN is enabled, and for example when port 1
received an untagged packet, the switch will apply the PVID of port 1
to tag this packet; the packet then will be forwarded.
Note: The settings of VLAN, IGMP Snooping and Forwarding Table will be reset to
default once Asymmetric VLAN is changed.

Untag Asymmetrick VLAN Settings:
The IEEE 802.1Q VLAN configuration page provides powerful VID
management functions. The original default VLAN setting has the
VID as 01, named “default”, and contains all ports as “Untagged”.
Add VID: Click to create a new VID group, assigning ports from 01 to
28 as Untag, Tag, or Not Member. A port can be “Untagged” in only
one VID. To save the VID group, press Apply.

VID: A unique VLAN ID.
VLAN Name: A VLAN name can be setting as user wish.
Port: The switch port number.
Untag: Outgoing frames without VLAN tag.
Tag: Outgoing frames with VLAN tag.
Not Member: The port number which not to be grouped.
Select All: Select all ports to be VLAN members or not VLAN
members.
Cancel: To call the modifications off.
Apply: To activate and save the modifications.
Delete: Click to delete selected VID.
