Chapter 1 Introduction Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the needs for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies are available to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Among them, Fast Ethernet, also known as 100Base-T, provides the smoothest migration path for the current 10Base-T technology. The non- disruptive and smooth evolution

performance or “wire-speed.” Therefore, a switch effectively splits a physical shared-access LAN into bridged multiple LAN segments. Each segment supports a workgroup and even provides a dedicated connection to a desktop server. The outcome is a multiplication of the overall available bandwidth and a more predictable performance under heavy network loads. 10/100 Switching Technology Just as 100Base-T is an extension of the existing 10Base-T technology, 10/100 Switching is merely an ex

From an economical point of view, Fast Ethernet switching not only satisfies both technical and business requirements, but also preserves the users’ existing investment in the huge 10Base-T Ethernet installed base. This compatibility insures a path for users to add, change, and migrate to Fast Ethernet capabilities as needs arise. It also provides a low cost and flexible ba

doubles network throughput to 200Mbps on Fast Ethernet segments and 20Mbps on 10Base-T segments. Although the TE100-S55 is equipped with five ports for 10Base- T or 100Base-TX connections, it also provides an open slot for add-on modules. These modules include an 8-port 10Base-T, a 100Base-FX/TX port or an ISDN router.

Chapter 2 Getting Started Cabling Rules and Site Preparation Although 100Base-T and 10Base-T are alike in many aspects, there are slight differences in the cabling rules. So, spend some time in locating and reconfiguring your cabling structure for the best network layout. The key cabling rules for 100Base-TX are: • The 100Base-TX specification requires two-pair Category 5 UTP or two-pair Type 1 STP cable. • The maximum cable length from an end-station to a hub or repeater is 100 me

The TE100-S55 fits into the 100Base-T cabling architecture as a switch. Therefore, unlimited number of switches may be installed in the same network with maximum distances of 100 meters apart. The 10/100Mb ports of TE100-S55 require two-pair Cat5 UTP (or Type 1 STP) for 100Base-TX connections. For 10Base-T connections, two-pair Cat 3, 4 or 5 UTP cables are required.

Careful planning and site preparation are the keys to success for installing Fast Ethernet switches. Users should perform a network bandwidth analysis based on their workgroup network traffic needs and examine their workstation equipment for other performance bottlenecks.

MOUNTING The TE100-S55 can be placed either on a table or rack mounted. For rack mounting: First screw the pair of mounting brackets (included in the packing carton) onto the switch. Then, mount the TE100-S55 onto the rack, as shown below in Figure 2-5. Figure Chapter 2 -5, Rack mounting a TE100-S55 ATTACHING CABLES There are five RJ-45 ports on the TE100-S55 for connecting five workstations or LAN segments. Each port supports either 10Base-T or 100Base-TX networks, auto-detecting t

If you are connecting workstations to the TE100-S55, use a standard UTP cable with a straight RJ-45 pin layout. If you are connecting hubs, bridges or other switches to the TE100-S55, the Transmit (TD) and the Receive (RD) wires must be crossed-over at one end of the connector. Please refer to Appendix C, page 47 for the details of pin layout.

SOFTWARE SETUP The default settings of TE100-S55 (shown in Appendix A, page 45) should be sufficient in the majority of installations. If a different setting is required for your specific environment, please refer to Chapter 3, page 21 for “Out-of-Band Management” or Chapter 4, page 35 for “SNMP Management”. For simple management, you can perform the Out-of-Band Management and access the TE100-S55 through its RS-232 port. For elaborate SNMP management, you can run the XPressView prog
