Quick Installation The Fast SwitcHub-2se contains 2 Ethernet ports that can operate at full-duplex or half-duplex. One of these ports supports 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T (twisted- pair) connection, while the other port supports 100BASE-FX (fiber optic) connection. The smart design built into the front display panel and configure options, provides a friendly interface that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. If you are already familiar with basic network operations, you should be

Full-duplex communications can only be supported for a dedicated link (i.e., set the communications to half duplex if you are connecting to a shared collision domain). Transmission must be set to full duplex or half duplex depending on the mode supported by the connected device. You must manually set the required mode with the configure button (Chapter 2). 6. Verify network communications by ensu

Chapter 1: Introduction Switching Technology The Ethernet Switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data channel. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The Ethernet Switch is therefore fast being recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology. The learning function in the switch stores the address and corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing p

Fast SwitcHub-2se User’s Guide Accton’s Smart Extender Accton’s Fast Switch-2se can boost network bandwidth fourfold (i.e., if running at 100Mbps and using full-duplex operation for both ports). It provides one 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX media attachment (which is automatically detected by the switch), and one 100 Mbps fiber optic port for 100BASE-FX media attachment via an SC or ST type connector. Either of these ports can be connected to a subnetwork, or directly to a

Moreover, by breaking your network into smaller and more manageable segments, each linked to the larger network with a switch, the maximum distance for communications between end-nodes is unlimited.

These switching alternatives start at standard cut- through for a clean data environment, change to fragment-free cut-through for a moderate error rate, and then progress to store-and-forward for a highly contentious environment. By using this method, the Fast SwitcHub-2se delivers the best networking performance under any environment.

Chapter 2: Setup and Configuration This chapter provides information on pre-installation requirements, establishing network connections, and configuring the system. Pre-Installation Requirements Before you start making network connections to the SwitcHub, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including power requirements, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. Verify the following installation requirements: • Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC a

If you are making a connection to a server or workstation (i.e., a dedicated connection to an end-node device), be sure that it has a properly installed 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T network interface card. Attach one end of the cable to the MDI-X station port on the switch and the other end to the RJ-45 port of the device’s network interface card. As a general
