[. . . ] 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 making it possible for a local area network to be divided into different segments which don't compete with each other for network transmission capacity, giving a decreased load on each. The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. Traffic that needs to go from one segment 4 to another is automatically forwarded by the switch, without interfering with any other segments. This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards. 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 and the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today's switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The 4-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously. ?? 4 x 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-negotiation Gigabit Ethernet ports Auto-MDIX for each port Supports Full/Half duplex transfer mode for 10 and ???? Support Full duplex transfer mode for 1000Mbps Wire speed reception and transmission Store-and-Forward switching method S upports 8K entries absolute MAC address table Supports 256K Bytes RAM for data buffering Extensive front-panel diagnostic LEDs IEEE 802. 3x flow control for full-duplex Back pressure flow control for half-duplex Optional Rack-mount Kit for 19" standard rack 6 7 UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: ??One 4-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch ??Four rubber feet with adhesive backing ??This user's guide If any item is 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 5 kg. 8 ??The power outlet should be within 1. 82 meters (6 feet) of the device. ??Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is secured fully to the AC power connector. ??Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. Desktop Installation When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device must be attached first. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it. 9 Gigabit Ethernet Switch installed on a Desktop or Shelf Rack Installation (optional) The 4-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. [. . . ] Plug in the female connector of the provided power cord into this connector, and the male into a power outlet. Supported input voltages range from 100~240V AC at 50~60 Hz. LED Indicators The LED indicators of the Switch including Power, Link/Act, 1000Mbps and 100Mbps. The following shows the LED indicators for the Switch along with explanation of each indicator. 14 The Switch LED indicators ??POWER This indicator lights green when the Switch is receiving power.
