h INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the DES-1008D 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. Among them, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethern

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 network into different segments, which don’t compete with each other for network transmission capacity. The DES-1008D acts as a high-speed selective bri

h Features The DES-1008D was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously. The DES-1008D with its small, compact size was specifically designed for small to middle workgroups. The DES-1008D can be installed where space is limited; moreover, the DES-1008D provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of functions. The DES-1008D is ideal for deployment with mu

?? Uplink/ MDI-II (media dependent interface) port for uplink to another switch, hub or repeater. ?? Store and forward switching scheme capability. As the result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments. ?? NWay Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto- sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing you with automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections. ?? Flow control for an

? MDI-X Jacks: Use these jacks to connect stations to the hub. These are MDI-X (Medium-Dependent Interface, Cross-wired) jacks, which mean, you can use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect user machines and servers to the hub through them. If you need to connect another device with an MDI-X jack, such as another hub or an Ethernet switch, you should use a crossover cable, or make the connection using the MDI-X jack (described below). ?

h CONNECTING THE DES-1008D This chapter describes how to connect the DES-1008D to your Fast Ethernet network. In each of the following figures, the DES-1008D is shown. PC to DES-1008D A PC can be connected to DES-1008D via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps phone jack) can be connected to any of the 8 ports (1x - 8x). The LED indicators for PC connection depend on the LAN card’s capabilities. If LED indicators are not lit a
