Fiber Slide-in Port

The 16-Port N-Way Rack-Mount Smart Switch Hub has a fiber slide-in port. With

fiber the workgroup distance could be extended to 2,000 meters and solve the distance

limit.

Full/Half-Duplex and Easy Expansion

Store-and-Forward Scheme

The 16-Port N-way Rack-Mount Smart Switch Hub uses store-and forward

switching to ensure all error packets will be filtered and maintain maximum data

integrity, even under heavy loading.

The 16-Port N-Way Rack-Mount Smart Switch Hub is the lastest design in its

N-Way Switches series for easy installation and high-performance in an environment

where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously. What makes

the 16-Port N-Way Rack-Mount Smart Switch Hub stand out from the crowd is

its built-in VLAN and Trunk configuration. With VLAN, stations on different

network segments can be grouped into the same LAN segment. The goal of

VLANs is to allow for complete mobility of workstation placement, yet keeping

broadcast traffic to a minimum. When port of a VLAN, the port will only

communicate with other ports in the VLAN. This offers a high degree of

security within the network. With Trunk, the backbone bandwidth can be

increased to advance the network performance by easing and smoothing traffic

load at peak hours. Small businesses and corporate branch offices can take full

advantage of 100Mbps Fast Ethernet performance and preserve existing desktop

investment with no changes required to PCs, NICs, cabling, drivers, or PC

configurations.

The 16-Port N-Way Rack -Mount Smart Switch Hub supports both full/half-duplex on

all ports which are able to provide 200Mbps of bandwidth to the connected devices

using auto-negotiation. The N-Way Smart Switch is also expandable by cascading

two or more switches together or connecting any RJ-45 (MDI-X) ports on the switch

to any device such as a workstation or a server.

Performance Highlights

Upgrade

This Switch Hub offers you a simple way to increase Ethernet LAN performance at a

very low per-port cost, letting you migrate power users to high-performance switched

ports. Ethernet workgroups can upgrade to Fast Ethernet without needing to

reconfigure the network. It is a 100/10Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch that offers

solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroups bandwidth.

1. Fiber select Full/Half-Duplex (Piano switch)

This dip switch is for selecting the Full/Half-Duplex in Fiber operation.

2. Fiber Connector

Extend the workgroup distance up to 2,000 meters.

3. Uplink Port

By cascading two or more switches together.

4. RJ-45 Ports

All Sixteen N-Way RJ-45 STP ports come with auto-negotiation and operate at

100/10Mbps for connection to servers and hubs. All ports can be configuratured

for Full/Half-Duplex mode.

Note: The Fiber Connector, Uplink port and the port #1 share with

the same port. Ensure you do not use them at the same time.

The front panel of the Switch Hub consists of 16 (100/10Mbps MDI-X) ports, 1 Uplink

(MDI) and 1 Fiber slide-in ports.

2. Hardware

This chapter describes the front panel, LED indicators, and rear panel of the Switch

Hub.

Figure 2-1: Front Panel

2-2

The LED indicators of the Switch Hub include Power, Fiber Slide-in, Link/Act (Link

Activity), FDX/Col (Full-Duplex/Collision) and Speed.

Figure 2-2: LED indicators

1. Power

This indicator operates when the Switch Hub is turned on. If this indicator is not

lit, check the AC power connector to ensure proper insertion of the power cord

and that the power switch is turned ON.

2. Fiber Slide-in

This LED lights to indicate the Port#1 is Fiber connector in operation. If this

indicator is not lit, the Port#1 is RJ-45 connector operation.

3. Link/Act

These LED indicators are lighted up green when there is a secure connection (or

link) to a device at any of the ports. The LED indicators blink whenever there is recep-

tion or transmission (i.e. Activity/Act) of data occurring at a port.

4. FDX/Col

This LED indicator is green when a respective port is in full-duplex (FDX) mode.

Otherwise, it is OFF for half-duplex (HDX) operations. It blinks when collisions

are occurring on the respective port.

5. Speed

This LED lights when the transmission rate is 100Mbps. It is OFF when the

transmission rate is 10Mbps or no linking.

CHAPTER 3

Network DIY

This chapter describes how to connect this Switch Hub to your Fast Ethernet network.

3. Network Connections

A PC can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP /STP

straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 100/10Mbps jack) should be connected to any

of sixteen ports.

Figure 3-1: PC or Workstation Connection

The LED indicators for PC connection are dependant on the LAN card capabilities. If

LED indicators are not illuminated after making a proper connection, check the PC

LAN card, the cable, Switch conditions and connections.

The following are LED indicator possibilities for a PC to Switch connection:

1. The Link/Act LED indicator illuminates upon hookup.

2. The FDX/Col LED indicator depends upon LAN card capabilities.

3. The 100M LED indicator comes on for a 100 Mbps and stays off for 10Mbps.

Switch to Hub

A hub (10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the Switch via a

twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable. The connection is accom-

plished from the any port (MDI-X) to uplink port(MDI) of the connected hub.

Figure 3-2: 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Hub Connection

10BASE-T Hub

For a 10BASE-T hub, the Switch LED indicators should illuminate the following:

Link/Act indicator is ON.

FDX/Col indicator is OFF.

LED speed indicator is OFF.

100BASE-TX Hub

For a 100BASE-TX hub, the Switch LED indicators should illuminate the following:

Link/Act is ON.

FDX/Col LED indicator is OFF.

LED speed indicator is ON.

Hub without Uplink (MDI) Port

If a hub is not equipped with an uplink (MDI) port, then connection can be made using

either straight cable or crossover cable (see Appendix A, Technical Specifications for cable

requirements).

Figure 3-3: Connecting to a Hub without Uplink Port

Using straight cable

When using straight cable, The connection can be made from the uplink port of the

Switch to any port of the Hub (see figure 3-3).

Using crossover cable

When using crossover cable, the connection can be made from any (Port #1 - 16) port

of the Switch to any port of the Hub (see figure 3-3).

Switch to Switch (Other Devices)

The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.)

via a twisted-pair category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover cable.

±µP. 4 - 1

Using straight cable

When using straight cable, this is done from the Uplink port of the Switch (Switch A)

to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or

other devices.

Using crossover cable

When using crossover cable, this is done from any port of the Switch (Switch A) to

any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other

devices (see Figure 3-4).

Switch A LED indicators for the respective connected ports are as follows:

Link/Act is ON.

FDX/Col depends on the connected switch or other device.

100M is ON for 100BASE-T, otherwise OFF.
