[. . . ] The hub's 100Mbps Fast Ethernet capability can eliminate bottlenecks in connection to servers, or can link 10Mbps workgroups to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network backbone. For straight-through 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX connection to servers and workstations, the Ethernet Switch supports full-duplex connection, effectively doubling the total throughput on individual links. The hubs can be placed on a tabletop or rack-mounted, and provide the ideal solution for your small, medium, or large Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network. [. . . ] The hubs can be placed on a tabletop or rack-mounted, and provide the ideal solution for your small, medium, or large Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network. It is designed to comply fully with the IEEE 802. 3 Ethernet and 802. 3u Fast Ethernet standards. P/N:12-086-00425 Rev:01 1 Package Contents If you purchased the 5/8-port Ethernet Switch, your package should contains the following : · · · · This Installation Guide 5/8-port Ethernet Switch AC/DC Power Adapter 9 Volts 500mA Rubber Pads for tabletop installation Hardware Overview Before you start to setup your network with your Ethernet Switch, browse through this section first and familiarize yourself with the various components of the hub. This section shows what the front and rear panels look like and briefly explains what each component is intended for. The Front Panel Figure 2-1. Front Panel of 5/8-port Ethernet Switch Front panel of the Ethernet Switch consists of the followings: · Normal 10Base-T / 100Base-TX UTP auto MDIX Ports These ports allow connections to PCs, workstations and servers in a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network. They can automatically detect the transmission speed (that is, 10Mbps or 100Mbps) and adjust 2 accordingly. Each auto MDIX port is an 8-pin RJ-45 connector (see figure below), and allow connection to a compatible hub, hub stack or switch using straight through cable. Figure 2-2 RJ-45 Connector You will encounter more on Normal ports in the section, Connecting Computers to the Ethernet Switch below. · LED Indicators The LED indicators at the front panel show the overall hub status, individual port state and individual port speed. Back Panel Back Panel Components of the 5/8-port Ethernet Switch include the following : · Power Receptacle The power receptacle allows you to connect the provided AC power adapter to the hub. Ventilation Holes Ventilation holes allow air to circulate inside the hub unit and prevent the hub from overheating. LED Indicators on 5/8-port Ethernet Switch LED indicators at the front panel of the Ethernet Switch show whether the hub is receiving power and indicate collision status in 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks. LED indicators showing individual transmission speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps), link/activity status are also available. Power LED If this LED is on, it means the hub is receiving power. If the Power LED is off, do the following : · If you are using the 5/8-port Ethernet Switch, make sure that the power adapter is properly connected to the power outlet and the power socket on the hub. · Check whether or not the power outlet is functional. Try connecting another device into the outlet. 100M LED The 100M LED show the transmission speed of each Normal port on the hub. When a 100M LED is ON with green color, it means that its corresponding Normal port works with a transmission speed of 100Mbps. 7 If this LED is OFF, it indicates that the transmission speed used by the port is 10Mbps. [. . . ] 100M LED The 100M LED show the transmission speed of each Normal port on the hub. When a 100M LED is ON with green color, it means that its corresponding Normal port works with a transmission speed of 100Mbps. 7 If this LED is OFF, it indicates that the transmission speed used by the port is 10Mbps. Link/Act LED The Switch Hub automatically detects whether or not there is a device connected to each individual port. [. . . ]
