INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the 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. Among them, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) p

Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridge 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

Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The Switches were designed for easy installation and high performance in an enviro

upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switches now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the network. The Switches combine dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss. The Switches are an u

Installation The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers: Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Appendix B for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges. Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight. Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventil

Rack Mounting The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. A ttach the mounting brackets at the switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws. Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack. 17

CONNECTING THE SWITCH This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast Ethernet network. PC to Switch A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ- 45 10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any of the 16 ports (1x - 16x) for the 16Port model, 24 ports (1x - 24x) for the 24Port model The LED indicators for PC connection dependent on the LAN card capabilities. If LED indicators are not light
