Introduction
The CheetahSwitch Workgroup-3024 is a high-density switch
thats perfect for moving large workgroups from conventional
10Mbps Ethernet to multiple-segment 100Mbps Fast Ethernet.
This switch delivers dedicated 100Mbps links to each attached
LAN segment (independent collision domain) or any PC attached
directly to the switch  all with conventional cabling and adapters.
It completely eliminates the bottlenecks of shared 10Mbps Ethernet
networks by providing a wide bandwidth of up to 2.4 Gbps. This makes it ideal for
increasing the throughput of interconnected Ethernet / Fast Ethernet hubs or server farms.
Moreover, this switch can further enhance performance by segregating broadcast
domains into VLAN Port Groups.
The CheetahSwitch Workgroup-3024 has 16 100BASE-TX ports in the base unit. It also
provides two slots for optional 4-port media expansion modules, that include 100BASE-TX
(10/100 Mbps) or 100BASE-FX (SC/ST type) ports. With both modules installed, this
switch can support 24 100Mbps swiched connections. And when using the fiber optic
ports, you can easily connect to remote sites up to 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) away.

Description of Hardware
The CheetahSwitch Workgroup-3024 base unit contains 16 100BASE-TX ports. It also
has two slots for optional 4-port media expansion modules, including 4 100BASE-TX ports,
4 100BASE-FX ports, or a combination of 2 100BASE-TX and 2 100BASE-FX ports. All
100BASE-TX ports operate at 10 or 100 Mbps, and support auto-negotiation, and half or
full duplex. 100BASE-FX ports are fixed at 100Mbps, and only support half or full duplex.
All RJ-45 ports support auto-negotiation, so the transmission speed and mode will be
automatically set if this feature is also supported by the attached device. Otherwise,
the speed and mode can be set for any connection using the Configure button or the
console port (on the back of the switch).
The following figure shows the components of this switch:

Mounting the Switch
This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack.
Before you start installing the switch, make sure you can provide the right operating
environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to
other network devices that are to be connected. Verify the following installation
requirements:
Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%) at 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz). The switch's
power supply automatically adjusts to the input voltage level.
The switch should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm. (4 in.) of space
at the front and back for ventilation.
Place the switch out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with a
high amount of electromagnetic interference.
If you intend to mount the switch in a rack, make sure you have all the necessary
mounting screws, brackets, bolts and nuts, and the right tools.
Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.
Stacking Switches on a Flat Surface
The CheetahSwitch can be stacked anywhere there is enough flat space, such as on a
table or desktop.
1. Stick the self-adhesive rubber foot pads
(that come with this package) on each of
the 4 concave spaces located on the
bottom of the first switch.
2. Place the first switch on a firm flat surface
where you want to install the stack.
3. Repeat step 1 for each switch before stacking them. The
rubber foot pads cushion the switch against shock/vibrations and provide space
between each switch for ventilation.
Mounting Switches in a Rack
Please comply with the following
instructions to ensure that your switch
is securely mounted in the rack.
1. Use a standard EIA 19-inch rack.
2. Use the brackets and screws supplied in
the rack mounting kit.
3. Use a cross-head screwdriver to attach the brackets to the side
of the switch.
4. Position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the
appropriate holes on the rack, and then use the supplied screws to mount the switch
in the rack.
Installing an Optional Module
The two upper slots on the front of the switch are provided for installing an optional
media expansion module. The twisted-pair module can be used to expand the number
of basic connections provided by the switch, while the fiber optic modules are used to
connect to a remote site. You can install a module as described below:
1. Disconnect power to the switch (i.e., modules are not hot-swappable).
2. Remove the face plate on the expansion slot (or a previously installed module) by
removing the two screws with a flat-head screwdriver.
3. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to the switch
casing to discharge any potential static electricity.
4. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.
5. Holding the module level, gently push it all the way into the expansion slot, ensuring
that it firmly engages with the connector.
6. If you are sure the module is properly mated with the connector, tighten the retainer
screws to secure the module in the expansion slot.
I Media expansion modules are not hot-swappable. Be sure you power off the
switch before installing any of these modules.
Connecting the Switch System
The CheetahSwitch provides 16 RJ-45 ports on the base unit, and supports up to 8
more RJ-45 ports with the media expansion modules. Each of these ports support
connection to 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, and supports full or half-
duplex operation. The transmission speed for each port is automatically set by the
switch to match the highest speed supported by the connected device. The transmission
mode can be set for each port using auto-negotiation (if also supported by the attached
device). However, if the device attached to any port on the switch does not support
auto-negotiation, you can manually configure the transmission mode using the Configure
button or the console interface.
Making a Connection via an RJ-45 Station Port
You can connect any RJ-45 (MDI-X) station port on the switch to any device that uses a
standard network interface such as a workstation or server, or to a network intercon-
nection device such as a bridge or router (depending on the port type implemented).
1. Prepare the network devices you wish to network. Make sure you have installed
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network interface cards for connecting to the switch's
RJ-45 (MDI-X) station ports.
2. Prepare straight-through shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 plugs
at both ends. Use 100W Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for standard 10Mbps Ethernet
connections, or 100W Category 5 cable for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet connections.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of the network interface card, and
the other end to any available (MDI-X) station port on the switch. All the RJ-45 ports
support 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet connections. When inserting an RJ-45 plug,
be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Using the switch in a stand-alone configuration, you can network up to 24 end nodes.
I Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the
switch. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform
with FCC standards.
Notes: 1. Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
2. We advise using Category 5 cable for all network connections to avoid any
confusion or inconvenience in the future when you upgrade attached
devices to Fast Ethernet.
Making a Connection via an MDI Daisy-Chain Port
To make a direct connection to another compatible switch or hub, follow these steps:
1. Use an RJ-45 daisy-chain port on one of the expansion modules (if available). Set
the daisy-chain switch to MDI.
2. Prepare straight-through shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 plugs
at both ends. Use 100W Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for standard 10Mbps Ethernet
connections, or 100WCategory 5 cable for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet connections.
Quick Installation GuideCheetahSwitch Workgroup-3024
4 5
3. Connect one end of the cable to an MDI port on the switch, and the other end to any
MDI-X station port on the other device. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab
on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Notes: 1. Alternatively, you can connect from an MDI-X port on the switch to an MDI
daisy-chain port on the other device.
2. Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
3. To connect to another switch or hub, you may also attach to (MDI-X) station
ports at both ends if you use crossover cabling.
Restrictions on Cascade Length - The IEEE 802.3 standard recommends restricting
the number of hubs (i.e., repeaters) cascaded via twisted-pair cable to 4; while IEEE
802.3u provides even stricter recommendations for Fast Ethernet. Therefore, when
cascading devices other than this switch, please refer to the accompanying
documentation for cascade restrictions. However, note that because switches break
up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not
include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length
involving other devices.
Making a Connection via a Fiber Optic Port
If you need to connect fiber cable to the switch, several different 100BASE-FX
expansion modules are available that support either SC and ST type connectors. Note
that all fiber optic ports operate at 100 Mbps, and are configurable to full or half duplex.
Prepare fiber optic cable with SC or ST connectors at both ends. When connecting the
module directly to an end-node device (e.g., a workstation or file server), run cable from
the Rx (Tx) port on the module to the Tx (Rx) port on the target device. When inserting
the cable, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly
seated. When using full duplex, you can run a fiber optic link up to 2 kilometers (1.24
miles). However, when using half duplex, you can only run a link up to 412 meters
(0.25 miles).
I The 4-port expansion modules are not hot-swappable. Be sure you power off the
switch before installing any of these modules.
Distance Limit in Fiber Optics
Note that as a general rule, the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link
should not exceed 2 kilometers (1.24 miles). However, timing constraints must also be
considered when calculating the maximum cable length for your specific environment.
Collision Domain Timing Constraints - Where fiber optic cable and twisted-pair
links exist in a single collision domain with other repeater devices, the fiber length has to
be limited to satisfy Fast Ethernet timing constraints. Use the following table as a guide
for maximum fiber length with the listed topologies (IEEE802.3u).

Powering On the Switch
1. Plug the power cord into the power socket at the rear of the switch, and the other
end into a power outlet.
2. Check the LED marked PWR on the front panel to see if it is on. The unit will
automatically select the setting that matches the connected input voltage. Therefore,
no additional adjustments are necessary when connecting it to any input voltage
within the range marked on the rear panel.
3. The switch performs a self-diagnostic test upon power-on. (Note that this test takes
about 10 seconds to complete.)
Notes: 1. The unit supports a "hot remove" feature which permits you to connect/
disconnect RJ-45 or fiber optic cables without powering off the switch and
without disrupting the operation of the devices attached to the switch.
2. However, the optional slide-in modules are not hot-swappable. Be sure the
switch is powered off when installing or removing these modules.
Verifying Port Status
Check each connection by viewing the port status indicators shown in the following
figure and table.

Verifying System Operation
Verify that all attached devices have a valid connection. The switch monitors the link
status for each port. If any device is properly connected to the switch and transmitting
a link beat signal, the Link indicator will light up for the corresponding port. If the Link
indicator fails to light when you connect a device to the switch, check the following items:
Both sides of each connection must use the same transmission mode (i.e., half or full
duplex). If any device connected to an RJ-45 port must operate at full duplex, be sure
it supports auto-negotiation. If it does not, then manually set the communication mode
for the switch port using the Configure button or a console connection.
Quick Installation GuideCheetahSwitch Workgroup-3024
6 7
Be sure all network cables and connectors are properly attached to the connected
device and the switch.
See if your cable is functioning properly by using it for another port and attached
device that displays valid indications when connected to the network.
Be sure no twisted-pair cable exceeds 100 meters (328 feet).
Configuring the Switch
The transmission mode for all ports must be set to the same mode used by the
connected device (i.e., half or full duplex). The fiber optic ports must be manually
configured, but the RJ-45 ports can use auto-negotiation to set the transmission mode.
However, if any device connected to an RJ-45 port must operate at full duplex, be sure
it supports auto-negotiation. If it does not, then manually set the communication mode
for the switch port using the Configure button or a console connection.
Using the Configure Button
Use the Configure button to set the display mode, perform diagnostics or a demonstration,
and configure the communication mode. Use a long press (2 seconds) on the Configure
button to initiate mode selection, then use a short press (less than 1 second) to move
from one mode to the next. The following functions are accessed in sequence:
Port Status Displays the status of each port during normal operation -
including collision, transmit, receive and link indications.
Bandwidth Utilization Shows the percentage of LAN bandwidth utilized.
Demonstration Lights all indicator LEDs to verify operation.
Diagnostics Tests the status of various system components.
Select Mode Sets communication mode to auto-negotiation; or sets the
communication mode to half/full duplex and speed to 10/100 Mbps.
Selecting Display Modes
Port Status mode is the default.
When this LED is lit, the indicators
provide information on packet
collisions (for ports set at half
duplex), communication speed,
port activity, communication mode,
and link status.
Bandwidth Utilization mode (UTIL%)
uses the whole LED display to indicate
values (1% to 65
+
%) for each port.
When active, these LEDs behave
like a stereo's equalizer display.
System Diagnostics
Enabling the DIAG function activates a two-stage
self-diagnostic test, similar to the one performed
upon power on. The first stage is the System
Diagnostic Test, and the second stage is the Port
Diagnostic Test. If the test is not completed
successfully, the corresponding LEDs (described
below) will blink after test completion to indicate
which component failed the test.
Setting the Port Speed and Communication Mode
When the Select LED is lit, use a long press
to activate configuration. Note that when the
Configure button is released, the current
communication mode selections are displayed
by the 100M and Full LEDs for each port (as
indicated in the following table), and the Select
LED for Port 1 will begin to blink. To change
modes, use a short press on the Configure
button and then use a long press to implement the setting and move on to the next port.
When finished, use a long press to terminate configuration.
The switch also includes a menu-driven configuration program which can be accessed
by attaching a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program
to the console port on the back of the switch. Use the null-modem cable provided with
this package, or use a null modem connection that complies with the wiring assignments
shown in the back of this guide.
When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by
your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity,
and 9600 bps (for initial configuration). Also be sure to set flow control to "none."
Once a direct connection to the console port is established, you will have access to the
menu items shown below.

Notes: 1. Factory defaults are auto-negotiation for RJ-45 ports, and 100Mbps and half
duplex for fiber optic ports.
2. Full duplex can only be used for a dedicated link. When connecting to a
shared collision domain (e.g., a repeater hub), half duplex must be used.
3. This switch uses the Nways standard for auto-negotiation.
4. Factory default has all ports in VLAN Group 1, with all other groups empty.
Applications
This switch segments your network, significantly increasing both bandwidth and
throughput. Any port on the switch can be attached to a hub (i.e., shared collision
domain) or provide a dedicated link to a single network device (e.g., a workstation).
When a port on the switch is connected to a hub (i.e., a 10 or 100 Mbps repeater), the
bandwidth provided by that port is shared by all the devices connected to the attached
hub. However, when a port is connected to an end node or to a device that breaks up
the collision domain (e.g., another switch, bridge or router), the attached device has
access to the full bandwidth provided by that port.
Bridging Functions - This switch provides fully transparent bridging functions. It
automatically learns node addresses, that are subsequently used to filter and forward
all traffic based on the destination address. When traffic passes between devices
attached to the same shared collision domain, those packets are filtered from the switch.
But when traffic must be passed between unique segments (i.e., different ports on the
switch), the high-speed switching fabric forwards the packets at near zero latency.

Troubleshooting
Diagnosing Switch Indicators
The switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist the network
manager in identifying problems. This section describes common problems you may
encounter and possible solutions.
Symptom: Link indicator does not light up (green) after making a connection.
Cause: Network interface (e.g., a network adapter card on the attached device),
network cable, or switch port is defective.
Solution: Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on. Be sure the
cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device. Verify that
the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified limits.
Check the adapter on the attached device and cable connections for
possible defects. Replace the defective adapter or cable if necessary.
Symptom: Power indicator does not light up (green) after power on.
Cause: Defective power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply.
Solution: Check the power outlet by plugging in another device that is functioning
properly. Check the power cord with another device. If these measures fail
to resolve the problem, have the unit's power supply replaced by a qualified
Accton distributor.
Power and Cooling Problems
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply as
explained in the previous section. However, if the unit powers off after running for a
Quick Installation GuideCheetahSwitch Workgroup-3024
10 11
while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet,
and verify that the fans on back of the unit are unobstructed and running prior to
shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the internal power supply may be
defective. In this case, contact your Accton distributor for assistance.
Installation
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more
components appear to be malfunctioning (e.g., the power cord or network cabling), test
them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are
functioning properly.
Transmission Mode
Verify that each port is set to the same transmission mode used by the attached device
(i.e., half or full duplex). You can configure the ports using the Configure button or a
console connection. RJ-45 ports can use auto-negotiation to set the transmission
mode. However, if the attached device does not support auto-negotiation, then you
may have to manually configure the port.
Port and Cable Assignments
RJ-45 Port Description
RJ-45 station ports (MDI-X) can be attached to any devices which use a standard
network interface (e.g., a workstation, server, bridge or router). RJ-45 daisy-chain
ports (MDI) can be cascaded to a station port on similar networking devices (e.g.,
another switch or hub). Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100W Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10 Mbps
connections or 100W Category 5 cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that
the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
