2. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION FNSW-3200 Ethernet Switch is multi-speed, versatile network devices combining both standard and "Big-Pipe" ports under the same hood. 2.1 Key Features w Compliant with IEEE802.3 and 802.3u standards for 100Base-TX w 32-port Fast Ethernet Switch, pure 10/100Base-TX w Wire-speed "Store-and-Forward" filtering/forwarding eliminates bad data packets with minimal delay w 100Base-TX ports automatically sense and set optimal line speed from 10/20, 100/200Mbps, All 1

2.2.1 Ports Speed n 100Base-TX All 100Base-TX ports come with auto-negotiation capability. They automatically support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the 100Base-TX ports, then turn on the switch. The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps after the negotiation with the con- nected device. 2.2.2 Cabling 100Base-TX ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded

Note: The Switch is a power-required device, it means, the Switch will not work until it is powered. If your networked PCs will need to transmit data all the time, please con- sider use an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your Switch. It will prevent you from network data loss. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your Switch from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power adapter. - 6 -

3. INSTALLATION The Switch do NOT require software configuration. Users can immediately use any of the features of this product simply by attaching the cables and turning on the power. To get the best use of these Switch models, many things need to be considered first. See Section 4. OPTIMIZING CONFIGURATION for details. 3.1 Rack-Mount Installation Most users prefer to attach the power cord to the hub before installation in a network rack. Do not plug the other end of the cord into

4. OPTIMIZING CONFIGURATION 4.1 Prior to Installation Before installing the Switch models and connecting network devices, it is important to plan the new network layout. Consider: w Dedicated Bandwidth: File servers and other high-traffic hardware can improve if they have their own direct connection with dedicated 10 or 100Mbps band- width. w Full-Duplex: Determine which devices would benefit from a Full Duplex connection and check that they support it. w Fast Ethernet: 100Base-TX

4.3 Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX and 100Base-FX are called "Fast Ethernet." This is because they use the Ethernet CSMA/CD access rules and data packet structure, but data travels ten times faster (100Mbps) than traditional 10Mbps Ethernet. Below is a list of the cable types and connectors that supported by Switch for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX.

4.4 Auto-Negotiation The 100Base-TX ports on the Switch have built-in "Auto-Negotiation". This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a connection is established with an- other network device (usually at Power On or Reset). This is done by detect the mode and speed at the second device is capable of. The 100Base-TX devices can connect with the 100Base-TX port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode. If attached device is: 100Base-TX port will set to: 100Mbps, no aut

4.6 Sample Application The optimal application for the Switch, no matter with the ex- tension module or not, is as a "big pipe" backbone interconnecting file servers with bandwidth-hungry workgroups, departments, and offices. In the figure, the FNSW-3200 links to another hub‘s Uplink (MDI-II) port, some ports connect to 100Mbps Workstations, and attached to file servers at 200Mbps. 200Mbps Server Farm FNSW-2401Ev2 200Mbps 200Mbps FNSW-1601Ev2 20Mbps FNSW-3200 100m 10Mbps FSD-1

5. TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. The Link LED is not lit Solution: Check the cable connection and remove duplex mode of the Switch. Some stations can not talk to other stations located on The other port Solution: The address table may contain older information than of the address table of that node. Please pow

7. RJ-45 PIN ASSIGNMENT When connecting your FNSW-3200 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you can directly con- nect the Switch to any Ethernet devices without making a crossover cable. The following table and diagram show the standard RJ-45 re- ceptacle/ connector and their pin assignments: RJ-45 Connector pin assignment MDI MDI-X Contact Me
