User’s Guide
3.0 Introduction
In our modern society, communication and sharing information is essential to our lives.
Computer networks have proven to be one of the fastest methods of communication.
The 1008 series of switches are compact desktop switches that are the ideal solution
for any network user. The 1008 series of switches provide high-performance switching
functions with low-cost connectivity. The 1008 switches feature store-and-forward
switching and will auto-learn and store source addresses with a 2K-entry MAC
address table.
Figure 3-1. PSL-1008-MSC
The base model 1008 switch provides 8 10/100Base-TX RJ45 ports while the 9-port
models offer an optional 100Base-FX fiber port with SC, ST or MRRJ connectors.
An additional model is offered with a 30km singlemode fiber port. The switch will
automatically detect the speed of connected devices to accommodate both 10 and
100Mbps. The 10Mbps bandwidth will accommodate 10Mbps workgroup switches

Waters Network Systems User’s Manual Page 6
PSX/ES1008 Models
while simultaneously providing the 100Mbps bandwidth required for multimedia
applications. All RJ45 ports support Auto MDI/MDIX.
Ethernet switching technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network,
eliminated congestion problems inherent with the carrier sense multiple access with
the collision detection (CSMA/CD) protocol and greatly reduced unnecessary
transmissions.
This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous
transmissions over the same port (full-duplex), bandwidth was essentially doubled.
Second, by reducing the collision domain to a single switch-port, the need for carrier
sensing was eliminated. Third, by using the store-and-forward technology’s approach
of inspecting each packet to intercept corrupt or redundant data, switching eliminated
unnecessary transmissions that slow down network traffic.
Auto-negotiation regulates the speed and duplex of each port, based on the capability
of both devices. Flow-control allows transmission from a 100Mbps node to a
10Mbps node without loss of data. Auto-negotiation and flow-control may have to be
disabled for some networking operations that involve legacy equipment. Disabling the
auto-negotiation is accomplished by hard setting the speed or duplex mode of a port.

3.2 Hardware Description
Front Panel
The Front Panel of the fiber 1008 switch consists of 8 auto-sensing 10/100Mbps RJ45
ports and one 100-BaseFX fiber. The LED indicators are also located on the front
panel of the switch.
Figure 3-2 PSX-1008-MSC Switch
The front panel is displayed as below.
Figure 3-3. Front Panel of the PSX-1008-MSC Switch
Rear Panel
A three-pronged AC power plug is located on the rear panel of the switch. The 1008
switches work in the range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.
Hardware Ports
Eight 10/100 auto MDI/MDIX 10/100Base-TX connections. MDI allows
you to connect to another hub or switch and MDIX allows you to connect
to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can
connect to another switch or workstation without a crossover cable.
Fiber model provides one 100Base-FX port (SC, ST or MTRJ connector)
3.3 LED Indicators
There are two LED-Indicators (LNK/ACT and FDX/COL) for each of the eight
10/100Base-TX copper ports. The following table provides the status and description
of the LEDs. The LEDs provide a real-time indication of systematic operation status.

3.4 Desktop Installation
Choose a surface for your switch that is clean, smooth, level, sturdy and with a power
outlet nearby. Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow
attachment of cables, power cord and air circulation.
3.41 Attaching Rubber Feet
1. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the switch is free of grease and
dust.
2. Remove adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
3. Apply the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch.

3.42 Power On
Connect the power cord to the AC power socket on the rear panel of the switch.
Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.
4.0 Network Applications
This section provides samples of network topology in which the 1008 switch can be
used. The 1008 series of switches are generally used as a desktop, workgroup or
edge segment switch.
Desktop Application
The 1008 series of switches provide the ideal solution for small workgroups. The
switch can be used as a standalone switch to which personal computers, servers, and
print servers are directly connected to form a small workgroup.

4.1 DIP-Switch Setup
The DIP-switch is used to configure the modes for VLAN and duplex modes. DIP
switch settings are described in the following table.

Segment Application
For large networks with large data packets that are constantly processed, the 1008
switch is suitable for connection to the LAN backbone. The 1008 switch can be
directly connected to PCs, workstations, and servers. The switch automatically
learns node addresses, which are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic
based on the destination address. You can use any of the copper ports to connect
with another switch to interconnect each of your small-switched workgroups to form a
larger switched network.

5.0 Troubleshooting
All Waters’ switching products are designed to provide reliability and consistently high
performance in all network environments. The installation of Waters’ 1008 switch is
a straightforward procedure (See Sections 3-4). Should problems develop during
installation or operation, this section is intended to help locate, identify and correct
these types of problems. Please follow the suggestions listed below prior to
contacting your supplier. However, if you are unsure of the procedures described in
this section or if the Waters’ 1008 switch is not performing as expected, do not
attempt to repair the unit; instead contact your supplier for assistance or contact
Waters Network Systems’ Customer Support Center at 800.328.2275 or email
[email protected].
6.1 Before Calling for Assistance
1. If difficulty is encountered when installing or operating the unit, refer back to the
Installation Section of this manual. Also check to make sure that the various
components of the network are operational and compatible.
2. Check the cables and connectors to ensure that they have been properly
connected and the cables/wires have not been crimped or in some way impaired
during installation. (About 90% of network downtime can be attributed to wiring
and connector problems.)
3. Make sure that an AC power cord is properly attached to the 1008.
4. Be certain that each AC power cord is plugged into a functioning electrical outlet.
Use the PWR LEDs to verify each unit is receiving power.
5. If the problem is isolated to a network device other than the Waters’ 1008 switch, it
is recommended that the problem device be replaced with a known good device.
Verify whether or not the problem is corrected. If not, go to next step. If the
problem is corrected, the Waters’ 1008 switch and its associated cables are
functioning properly.
6. If the problem continues, contact Waters Network Systems Customer Service at
800.328.2275 or email [email protected] for assistance.
When Calling for Assistance
