ABOUT THIS GUIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the FSW-1670TX 8+8POE 10/100Mbps Web Smart Switch. This Switch integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Since this switch’s Port- 1 to Port-8 is Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, it will automatically detect the presence of IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices and provides power through the Port-1 to Port-8. The switch provides 15.4 W per port and can be used to WLAN access point,

INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the FSW-1670TX 8+8POE 10/100Mbps Web Smart Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Amo

Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local area n

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can communicate as if a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead. Other VLAN utility includes: Security, Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in eavesdropping on a broadcast network because data will be switched to only those confidential users withi

Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting. When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching. Rack Mounting The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with

Connecting Network Cable The Switch support 16 10/100M Ethernet ports and Port 1 ~ port 8 are PoE Enable ports, these PoE port will automatically activated when a compatible terminal is identified, the Switch will supply power through the Ethernet port to the connected PoE device. For the Legacy devices that are not yet compatible, the PoE port will not offer the power to this device. This feature allows users to freely and safely mix legacy and Power over LAN compatible devices on thei
