[. . . ] The Switches with its rack size is specifically designed for middle to large workgroups. These Switches provide immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions. The Switches are ideal for deployment with multiple highspeed servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server. The Switches are expandable by cascading two or more switches together. As all ports support 200Mbps, the Switches can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches. The Switches are a perfect choice for site planning to 3 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 unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch that offers solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are: Uplink/ MDI-II (media dependent interface) port for uplink to another switch or hub. 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. This allows for autosensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing you with automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections. 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 forwarding rate per port is at wire-speed for 100Mbps 4 speed. Data forwarding rate per port is at wire-speed for 10Mbps speed. Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc. , per port at wire-speed for 100Mbps speed. Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc. , per port at wire-speed for 10Mbps speed. Up to 16K active MAC address entry table with self-learning and table-aging for 16-port model, up to 24K active MAC address entry table with self-learning and table-aging for 24-port model and up to 32K active MAC address entry table with self-learning and table-aging for 32-port model. 1 MB RAM buffer per device for 16-port model, 1. 5MB RAM buffer per device for 24-port model and 2MB RAM buffer per device for 32-port model. 5 6 UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switches. Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. [. . . ] Using straight cable When using straight cable, the connection can be made from the uplink (MDI-II) port of the Switch to any port of the Hub. B. Using crossover cable When using crossover cable, the connection can be made from any ports of the Switch to any port of the Hub. 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 straight or crossover cable. A. Using straight cable When using straight cable, this is done from the uplink (MDI-II) port of the Switch (Switch A) to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other devices. B. Using crossover cable When using crossover cable, this is done from any (MDI-X) 17 port of the Switch (Switch A) to any of the 10Mbps, 100Mbps (MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other devices.
