User manual LEVELONE FSW 0507 TX

[. . . ] Tells how you can connect the Switch to your Ethernet network. Lists the technical (general, physical and environmental, and performance) specifications of the Switch. 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Features The Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of user increase continuously. The Switch with its small, compact size was specifically designed for small to middle workgroups. This Switch can be installed where space is limited; moreover, they provide immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions. [. . . ] This minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is full. Note that flow control is only available in half duplex mode. Data filtering/forwarding rate is wire -speed for 10Mbps and 100Mbps speed. 4K MAC address entry table per device with self-learning for the Switch. 128KBytes RAM buffer per device for the Switch. 8 UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switches. Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One LevelOne 5/8 Port 10/100Mbps PalmCon Switch One external power adapter This User's Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Setup The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps: The surface must support at least 1. 5 Kg for the Switch. The power outlet should be within 1. 82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch. Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. 9 1 2 10 3 11 12 IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS This section identifies all the major external components of the hub. Both the front and rear panels are shown, followed by a description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter. Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the switch.

Check the technical specification section for information about the AC power input voltage. Since the switch does not include a power switch, plugging its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on. Auto-MDI Jacks: These jacks supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function gives true `plug and play' capability without the need of confusing crossover cables or crossover ports. With the Auto-MDI function, you just need to plug-in the network cable to the hub directly and no need to care if the end node is NIC (Network Interface Card) or switches and hubs. LED Indicators Power Indicator (PWR) This indicator lights green when the hub is receiving power, otherwise, it is off. 14 Full-Duplex/Collision (Full-Duplex/Collision) This LED indicator light green when a respective port is in full duplex (FDX) mode. Otherwise, it is blinking when collisions are occurring on the respective port. [. . . ] 10BASE-T Hub For a 10BASE-T hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as the following: "Full-Duplex/Collision" indicator is OFF. "100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT LED" indicator is light amber. B. 100BASE-TX Hub For a 100BASE-TX hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as the following: "Full-Duplex/Collision" LED indicator is OFF. "100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT" LED indicator is light green. Switch to switch (other devices) The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc. ) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable. [. . . ]
