1. Introduction
Driven by recent advances in desktop computing technology, today’s
network applications have increased in speed, power and the ability to
process information. To meet the demands of these more bandwidth-
intensive applications, this switch device provides significant increase
in performance for your Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network. The switch
comes with high number of 10/100 Fast Ethernet switched ports, each
capable of transferring information simultaneously at full wire speed to
control and allocate the network bandwidth. It also provides one Fast
Ethernet Fiber slot for uplink to fiber backbone.
The key features of the switch units are:
•Easy Migration : With 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T support, the switch
provides a non-disruptive and smooth migration path from Ethernet
to Fast Ethernet network.
•Easy Installation : With the functions of auto-speed-sensing and
auto-negotiation on each port, the switches support plug-and-play
installation by default which eliminates configuration problems.
•FiberConnectivity:With100BASE-FX slotsupport,the switch pro-
vides an optional solution for fiber uplink when it is needed.
•Network Management : With the built-in SNMP and web manage-
ment software agent, the switch provides network management func-
tion for advanced applications remotely.

3. Making Network Connections
3.1 Network Switched Ports
Thefollowing figure illustrates the switchedports provided on theswitch.
The switch comes with nine Fast Ethernet switched ports and Port #9
provides two connection types, one is 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 connector
and the other is 100BASE-FX fiber slot. The Fast Ethernet fiber slot can
accommodate one optional Fast Ethernet fiber module.
The following table lists the connectors provided on each network ports:
Port # Standard Connector type Mark
Port 1-8 10/100BASE-TX MDI-XRJ-45 1X-8X
Port 9 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 9X
(crossover SW defines RJ-45 type)
Port 9 100BASE-FX 100 Fiber Slot 100BASE-FX

-13-
• 10/100BASE-TXFastEthernetSwitchedPorts
Each switched port supports one connection to a LAN segments. Each
segment is an independent shared network in one collision-domain.
Theconnectioncanbe toeithera 10BASE-Tora100BASE-TXdevice.
• MDI-XandMDIRJ-45Connectors
MDI-X jack is labeled [X] normally to indicate the jack is designed
with internal crossover function. It allows a connection to an end
station using straight-through UTP cable. MDI RJ-45 connector is
provided for easy uplink via standard straight-through UTP to
other device that supports MDI-X RJ-45 connector. The following
table shows the pin assignments of MDI-X and MDI RJ-45
connector respectively:
PIN# MDI-X Jacks MDI Jack
1 Rx+ Tx+
2 Rx- Tx-
3 Tx+ Rx+
6 Tx- Rx-
4,5,7,8 NC NC

pushing ON, Port #9 RJ-45 is set to MDI type.

• 100Fiber Slot
Optional fiber connectivity support for Port #9. This can not be used
with RJ-45 9X jack at the same time. Refer to section 3.3.

-14-
3.2 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Ports
The switch can support connections to the following devices:
• 10BASE-T or 10/100BASE-TX network cards
• 10BASE-T hub ports
• 100BASE-TX hub ports
• 10/100BASE-TX dual speed hub ports
• 10/100BASE-TX switch ports
Auto-negotiationCapable
The ports support auto-negotiation function when establishing a link
connection with any auto-negotiation capable device. The connection
speed and duplex mode are determined through the negotiation process
with the connected device.
Auto-speed-sensing
When connecting to a non-auto-negotiation device, half duplex mode is
used. However, the ports can auto-detect the connection speed.
ManualConfiguration
The ports are configured to be enabled for auto-negotiation as factory
default. However, it also can be changed and stick to one of the follow-
ing configurations through network management operation:
•10M Half-duplex
•10M Full-duplex
•100M Half-duplex
•100M Full-duplex
TrunkingFunction
The ports are configured as normal data ports instead of trunking ports
as factory default. In order to support trunking function, any port can be
configured as a trunking port manually through network management
operation. As configured, it is no longer a data port. For more details
about trunking, refer to section 3.4.

-15-
FlowControl
Half-duplex mode uses back pressure flow control to prevent the receiv-
ing buffer from being overrun by data from a source node. Full-duplex
mode uses the 802.3x flow control standard to prevent fast Physical Ports
data traffic from overrunning slow data traffic.
UTPCableConnections
When making a connection to another device using straight-through
UTP cable, make sure MDI-X to MDI connection rule is followed. The
following figure illustrates the pin assignments of a straight-through
UTP and a crossover UTP cable:
Straight-throughandCrossoverUTPCable
It is suggested to use straight-through UTP cables for all UTP connec-
tions. The maximum length and UTP cable categories used for the con-
nections to a 10BASE-T device and 100BASE-TX device are:
CONNECTEDDEVICE UTP CABLE USED & MAXIMUM LENGTH
10BASE-T device Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP (100 meters)
100BASE-TX device Cat. 5 UTP (100 meters)

-16-
3.3 Fast Ethernet Fiber Slot
The switch provides one fast Ethernet fiber slot. It can accommodate one
optional fiber module for your fiber connection. Depending on the fiber
interface and the types of fiber cables, the following fiber modules are
available for selection:
Module Connector type Fiber cable Maximum length
800-T ST MM* 2 Km
800-C SC MM 2 Km
800-SA SC SM* 15 Km
800-S3 SC SM 30 Km
800-S5 SC SM 50 Km
800-JM MT-RJ MM 2 Km
800-JS MT-RJ SM 15 Km
800-VM VF-45 MM 2 Km
* MM : Multimode fiber cable, SM : Single mode fiber cable
Switched port #9 supports two types of connections. One type is UTP
connection through Port 9X. The other is fiber connection through slot
FIBER respectively. Both types of connections can not be used at the
same time. Each fiber module provides optional jumpers to enable or
disable fiber connection.

3.4 Making Trunk Connections
Two switch units can be cascaded together through any regular switched
data port on each unit when a port expansion is required. However, the
transferbandwidth between thetwo cascaded ports is limited to 200Mbps
full duplex. To increase the bandwidth for the connection between two
switch units, a trunking function is implemented on the switch unit for
this purpose. Normal data ports can be configured optionally as trunking
ports through the network management operation. Two trunking ports
composes one trunk. Two switch units can be cascaded through one
trunk. The aggregated bandwidth of one trunk can be up to 400Mbps, if
2 trunking ports are used for one trunk.
The switch supports the following trunk configurations:
Configuration Trunk Trunking ports
1 None None
2 1 Trunk [Port 1, Port 2]
3 1 Trunk [Port 7, Port 8]
4 2 Trunk1 [Port 1, Port 2]
Trunk2 [Port 7, Port 8]
Refer to Console(Telnet)managementchapter and Webmanagement
chapter for more information about how to configure a data port as a
trunking port.

-20-
The following figure illustrates an example of 2-port trunk connection
between switch A and switch B. The aggregated bandwidth of the trunk
is 400Mbps.
Rules :
1. One switch can be configured to have up to 2 trunks and each trunk
is composed of 2 trunking ports.
2. One trunking port can only belong to one trunk.
3. Only one trunk can exist between two switch units.
4. Crossover UTP cables should be used at the same time for one trunk
connection. The length of each cable can be up to 100 meters.
5. When the switched data ports are enabled as trunking ports, they
can only serve trunking function, but no other data function.
6. Since the trunking is proprietary, the switches do not support trunk
connection to other brand switches.
