14 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCING THE SUPERSTACK 3 SWITCH 4200 SERIES

WARNING: RJ-45 Ports. These are shielded RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot

be used as standard traditional telephone sockets, or to connect the unit to a

traditional PBX or public telephone network. Only connect RJ-45 data

connectors, network telephony systems, or network telephones to these

sockets.

Either shielded or unshielded data cables with shielded or unshielded

jacks can be connected to these data sockets.

10BASE-T/

100BASE-TX Ports

The Switch has 24 or 48 auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports

configured as Auto MDIX (cross-over). While auto-negotiation is enabled,

these ports can automatically detect whether they need to operate in

MDI or MDIX mode. Alternatively, you can manually set these ports to

10BASE-T half duplex, 10BASE-T full duplex, 100BASE-TX half duplex or

100BASE-TX full duplex. The maximum segment length is 100 m (328 ft)

over Category 5 twisted pair cable.

10/100/1000BASE-T

Ports

The Switch has two auto-negotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T ports

configured as Auto MDIX (cross-over). While auto-negotiation is enabled,

these ports can automatically detect whether they need to operate in

MDI or MDIX mode. These ports provide 10/100/1000 Mbps full duplex

connections to other Gigabit Ethernet devices. Full duplex allows packets

to be transmitted and received simultaneously which, in effect, doubles

the potential throughput of a link. These ports require either

straight-through or cross-over Category 5 cables with RJ-45 connectors at

both ends. The maximum UTP cable length is 100 m (328 ft) over

Category 5 cable.

The 10/100/1000BASE-T ports will auto-negotiate to the appropriate

speed.

GBIC Ports This section applies to the SuperStack 3 Switch 4228G only.

The two GBIC ports support Category 5 twisted pair cable and fiber

Gigabit Ethernet short-wave (SX), long-wave (LX) and long-haul (LH70)

GBIC transceivers in any combination. This offers you the flexibility of

using GBIC transceivers to provide connectivity between the Switch and

remote 1000 Mbps workgroups or to create a high capacity aggregated

link backbone connection.

DUA1730-0AAA02.book Page 14 Thursday, January 23, 2003 12:28 PM

About the Switch 4200 Series 15

Fiber GBIC's.

The default state for these ports is auto-negotiation enabled, where

speed, duplex and flow control modes are negotiated. Because the speed

and duplex modes are fixed by the media type, only the flow control is

negotiated with the link partner. Alternatively, auto-negotiation can be

disabled and the flow control setting can be manually configured.

1000BaseT GBIC's

These ports will auto-negotiate to 1000BASE-T, full duplex only. Although

it is not possible to disable auto-negotiation it is possible to change the

advertised capabilities for flow control support, effectively enabling or

disabling flow control.

LEDs Table 4 lists LEDs visible on the front of the Switch, and how to read their

status according to color. For information on using the LEDs for problem

solving, see “Solving Problems Indicated by LEDs”

on page 54.

It is not possible to determine the duplex mode from the LEDs. For more

detailed information, refer to the “SuperStack

3 Switch Management

Interface Reference Guide” on the CD-ROM that is supplied with the

Switch.

■ 4 x Rubber feet

Choosing a Suitable

Site

The Switch is suited for use on a desktop, either free standing or

mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, the Switch

can be mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room, as an aggregator

for other Hubs and Switches. A rack-mounting kit containing two

mounting brackets is supplied with the Switch.

CAUTION: Ensure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.

When deciding where to position the Switch, ensure that:

■ Cabling is located away from:

■ sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and

broadband amplifiers.

■ power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures

■ The Switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily.

■ Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the Switch.

■ Air-flow is not restricted around the Switch or through the vents in the

side of the Switch. 3Com recommends that you provide a minimum of

25mm (1in.) clearance.
