Options
The switch performs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This allows wire-
speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports simultaneously. The
switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles
the bandwidth of each connection.
This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data integrity.
With this technology, the entire packet must be received into a buffer and checked
for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated
throughout the network.
The switch can also be managed over the network with a web browser or a Telnet
application. The switch includes a built-in network management agent that allows
it to be managed in-band by using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) protocols. It
also has an RJ-45 console port connector on the front panel for out-of-band
management. A PC may be connected to this port for configuration and monitoring
out-of-band via a null-modem serial cable (see Appendix B for wiring options).
NOTE: For a detailed description of the management
features, refer to the user’s manual.

Description of Hardware
1000Base-T Ports
SFP Transceiver
Slots
The switch contains 8/10 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. All RJ-45 ports support
automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, auto-negotiation, and IEEE 802.3x auto-
negotiation of flow control, so the optimum data rate, and transmission can be
selected automatically.
Vi3010 supports the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. The SFP
transceiver slots are shared with RJ-45 port 9 to 10. In the default configuration, if
a SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on
the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled.
The following table shows a list of transceiver types which have been tested with
the switch. For an updated list of vendors supplying these transceivers, contact
your local dealer. For information on the recommended standards for fiber optic
cabling, see “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain” on page 27.

Network Planning
Introduction to
Switching
Application
Examples
A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets. It can
partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. Therefore, the switch
has been recognized as one of the most important devices for today’s networking
technology.
When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the network access
point such as file server, the device can be connected directly to a switched port.
By using the full-duplex mode, the bandwidth of the dedicated segment can be
doubled to maximize throughput.
When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the distance between end
stations is limited by a maximum hop count. However, a switch can subdivide the
network into smaller and more manageable segments, and link them to the larger
network. It then turns the hop count back to zero and removes the limitation.
A switch can easily be configured in any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit
Ethernet network to significantly increase bandwidth while using conventional
cabling and network cards.
The Vi3010 has auto MDIX and 2 slots for the removable SFP module which support
comprehensive types of fiber connection, such as LC and BiDi-LC modules. It is not
only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of
options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described
below.
The switch is suitable for the following applications:
 Remote site application is used in enterprise or SMB.
 Peer-to-peer application is used in two remote offices.
 Office network.
 High performance requirement environment.
 Advance security for network safety application.
 Suitable for data/voice and video conference application.

Installing the Switch
Selecting a Site
Ethernet Cabling
The switch can be mounted in a standard 19 inch equipment rack by using the rack
mount kit or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when
choosing a location.
 The site should:
o Be at the center of all the devices that you want to link and near a
power outlet.
o Be able to maintain its temperature within 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
and its humidity within 10% to 90%, non-condensing.
o Be accessible for installing, cabling, and maintaining the devices.
o Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
 Make sure the twisted-pair Ethernet cable is always routed away from power
lines, radios, transmitters, or any other electrical interference.
 Make sure that Vi3010 is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that
provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.
To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure
that the current cables are suitable for 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation.
Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network:
 Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cable
with RJ-45 connectors; Category 5 or Category 5e with maximum length of 100
meters is recommend 100BASE-TX, and Category 5e or 6 with maximum length
of 100 meters is recommend for 1000BASE-T.
 Protection from radio frequency interference emissions.
