Overview
ES4524M-PoE
The ES4524M-PoE is an intelligent Layer 2 PoE switch with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T
ports, two of which are combination ports
*
that are shared with two SFP transceiver
slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 23-24).
The switch includes an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main
board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band management access.
It can easily enhance your network with full support for Spanning Tree Protocol,
multicast switching, and virtual LANs. It brings order to poorly performing networks
by segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant
VLANs, and empowers multimedia applications with multicast switching and CoS
services.

Switch Architecture
This Gigabit Ethernet switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric.
This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on
all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively
doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
For communications within the same VLAN, the switch uses store-and-forward
switching to ensure maximum data integrity. The entire packet must be received into

a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from
being propagated throughout the network.
Power-over-Ethernet Capability
The switch’s 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports support the IEEE 802.3af
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard that enables DC power to be supplied to
attached devices using wires in the connecting Ethernet cable. Any 802.3af
compliant device attached to a port can directly draw power from the switch over the
Ethernet cable without requiring its own separate power source. This capability gives
network administrators centralized power control for devices such as IP phones and
wireless access points, which translates into greater network availability.
For each attached 802.3af-compliant device, the switch automatically senses the
load and dynamically supplies the required power. The switch delivers power to a
device using wire pairs in the UTP or STP cable. Each port can provide up to 15.4 W
of power at the standard -48 VDC voltage.
Network devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and network cameras,
typically consume less than 10 W of power, so they are ideal for
Power-over-Ethernet applications.
Network Management Options
The switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of
network and port status. It also includes a management agent that allows you to
configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software, or via
SNMP applications. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the
console port (out-of-band), or you can manage it through a network connection
(in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or SNMP-based network
management software.
For a detailed description of the switch’s advanced features, refer to the
Management Guide.
Description of Hardware
10/100/1000BASE-T Ports
The switch contains 24 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full
duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all ports on the switch support
automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight- through cables for all network
connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin
Assignments” on page B-3.)

.
SFP Slots
The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with two of the
RJ-45 ports (ports 23-24). In its default configuration, if an SFP transceiver
(purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on its port, the
associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The switch can also be
configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.
Port and System Status LEDs
The switch includes a display panel for key system and port indications that simplify
installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on the front
panel for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the following tables.

Chapter 2: Network Planning
Introduction to Switching
A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via
non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently
than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the
most important building blocks for today’s networking technology.
When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the network access
point (such as the network card for a high-volume file server), the device
experiencing congestion (server, power user or hub) can be attached directly to a
switched port. And, by using full-duplex mode, the bandwidth of the dedicated
segment can be doubled to maximize throughput.
When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the distance between end
stations is limited by a maximum hop count. However, a switch turns the hop count
back to zero. So subdividing the network into smaller and more manageable
segments, and linking them to the larger network by means of a switch, removes this
limitation.
A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet
network to significantly boost bandwidth while using conventional cabling and
network cards.
Application Examples
The ES4524M-PoE is not only designed to segment your network, but also to
provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical
applications are described below.
Collapsed Backbone
The ES4524M-PoE is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and
Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
In a basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct full-duplex connections for
up to 24 workstations or servers. You can easily build on this basic configuration,
adding direct full-duplex connections to workstations or servers. When the time
comes for further expansion, just connect to another hub or switch using one of the
Gigabit Ethernet ports built into the front panel, or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a
plug-in SFP transceiver.
In the following figure, the 24-port switch is operating as a collapsed backbone for a
small LAN. It is providing dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplex connections to

Network Aggregation Plan
With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), a Gigabit switch
can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing
overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are providing 1000 Mbps
connectivity through cascaded switches. In addition, the switches are also
connecting several servers at 1 Gbps.

Application Examples
Remote Connections with Fiber Cable
Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A
1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, a
1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 10 km, and a 1000BASE-ZX link up to 70 km. This
allows a switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a
widespread LAN.
A 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver can be used for a high-speed connection between
floors in the same building. For long-haul connections, a 1000BASE-ZX SFP
transceiver can be used to reach another site up to 70 kilometers away.
The figure below illustrates three ES4524M-PoE units interconnecting multiple
segments with fiber cable.

Making VLAN Connections
This switch supports VLANs which can be used to organize any group of network
nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the
originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This
provides a more secure and cleaner network environment.
VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly tagged to
identify the VLAN group to which it belongs. Untagged VLANs can be used for small
networks attached to a single switch. However, tagged VLANs should be used for
larger networks, and all the VLANs assigned to the inter-switch links.

untagged ports.
Application Notes
1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a
switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch
is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode.
2. For network applications that require routing between dissimilar network types,
you can attach these switches directly to a multi-protocol router.

Testing
3. As a general rule, the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link should
not exceed:
• 1000BASE-SX: 550 m (1805 ft) for multimode fiber
• 1000BASE-LX: 10 km (6.2 miles) for single-mode fiber
• 1000BASE-ZX: 70 km (43.4 miles) for single-mode fiber or 100 km (62.1 miles)
for dispersion shifted single mode fiber
However, power budget constraints must also be considered when calculating the
maximum cable length for your specific environment.

Chapter 3: Installing the Switch
Selecting a Site
ES4524M-PoE units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a
flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
• The site should:
• be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.
• be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 45 °C (32 to 113 °F) and its
humidity within 10% to 90%, non-condensing
• provide adequate space (approximately five centimeters or two inches) on all
sides for proper air flow
• be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices
• allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible
• Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent
lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and
transmitters.
• Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that
provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2 m (6.6 feet) of each device and
is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a
filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
Ethernet Cabling
To ensure proper operation when installing the switch in a network, make sure that
the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T
operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your
network:
• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables
with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T, Category 5 or better
for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5, 5e or 6 for 1000BASE-T.
• Protection from radio frequency interference emissions
• Electrical surge suppression
• Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields
from data based network wiring
• Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields

Mounting
Mounting
An ES4524M-PoE unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on
a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.
Rack Mounting
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors:
• Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than
the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is
within the specified operating temperature range (see page -1).
• Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
• Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not
overloaded.
• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to
the mains.
To rack-mount devices:
1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket
Mounting Kit.

The switch supports the following optional transceivers types:
• 1000BASE-SX
• 1000BASE-LX
• 1000BASE-ZX
To install an SFP transceiver, do the following:
1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate transceiver
type. Refer to “Connectivity Rules” on page 4-5.
2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot
connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only
be installed in one orientation.
3. Slide the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
Note: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off
before installing or removing a transceiver. However, always first disconnect the
network cable before removing a transceiver.

Connecting to a Power Source
To connect a device to a power source:
1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the socket located at the back of the
device.
Figure 3-6 Power Socket
2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source.
Note: For international use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a
line cord set that has been approved for the socket type in your country.
3. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure the Power
LED is on. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in.
Connecting to the Console Port
The DB-9 serial port on the switch’s rear panel is used to connect to the switch for
out-of-band console configuration. The command-line-driven configuration program
can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The
pin assignments used to connect to the serial port are provided in the following table.

Chapter 4: Making Network Connections
Connecting Network Devices
The ES4524M-PoE units are designed to interconnect multiple segments (or
collision domains). It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well
as to hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected to devices using optional
SFP transceivers.
Twisted-Pair Devices
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors
at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, Category
5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T
connections.
Power-over-Ethernet Connections
The PoE switch automatically detects an 802.3af-compliant device by its
authenticated PoE signature and senses its required load before turning on DC
power to the port. This detection mechanism prevents damage to other network
equipment that is not 802.3af compliant.
Note: Power-over-Ethernet connections work with all existing Category 3, 4, 5, 5e or 6
network cabling, including patch cables and patch-panels, outlets, and other
connecting hardware, without requiring modification.
The switch delivers power to a device using wire pairs in the connecting UTP or STP
cable. The switch can provide up to 15.4 W of power continuously on each port.
However, taking into account some power loss over the cable run, the amount of
power that can be delivered to a terminal device is 12.95 W.
The switch controls the power and data on a port independently. Power can be
requested from a device that already has a data link to the switch. Also, the switch
can supply power to a device even if the port’s data connection has been disabled.
The power on a port is continuously monitored by the switch and it will be turned off
as soon as a device connection is removed.
Cabling Guidelines
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so
you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other
network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
4-1

See Appendix B: for further information on cabling.
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will
damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors
that conform to FCC standards.
Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches
1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45
connector.
Figure 4-1 Making Twisted-Pair Connections
2. If the device is a PC card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other
end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring
closet. (See “Network Wiring Connections” on page 4-2.) Otherwise, attach the
other end to an available port on the switch.
3. Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in
length.
4. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch) corresponding to
each port will light green (1000 Mbps) or amber (10/100 Mbps) to indicate that
the connection is valid.

Fiber Optic SFP Devices
An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or
1000BASE-ZX) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for
connecting to a high-speed server.
Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with
an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or
62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.

Caution: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are
compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently
eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a
transmit port when it is powered on.
Note: When selecting a fiber SFP device, considering safety, please make sure that it
can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum
operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved Laser
Class 1 SFP transceiver.
1. Remove and keep the LC port’s rubber cover. When not connected to a fiber
cable, the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the optics.
2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by
wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little
ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber cables will impair the quality of the light
transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other end to
the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can
be attached in only one orientation.

5. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to
the port to be sure that the connection is valid.
The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX fiber optic ports operate at
1 Gbps full duplex. The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit
speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
Collision Domain” on page 4-5.

Connectivity Rules
Connectivity Rules
When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules
listed in the manuals for these products. However, note that because switches break
up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not
include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length
involving other devices.
1000BASE-T Cable Requirements
All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also
work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is
recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations,
Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The
Category 5e specification includes test parameters that are only recommendations
for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for
running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it
complies with the IEEE 802.3-2005 standards.

Cable Labeling and Connection Records
When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of
cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to
easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology
without need for unnecessary time consumption.
To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these
guidelines:
• Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.
• Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all
network-connected equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify the devices
to which it is connected.
• Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported by the
switch ports.
• For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning prefixes to
your cable labeling.
• Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same equipment.
• Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly.
• Label each separate piece of equipment.
• Display a copy of your equipment map, including keys to all abbreviations at each
equipment rack.

Symptom Action
Power LED is Off • Check connections between the switch, the power cord, and the wall
outlet.
• Contact your dealer for assistance.
• Contact SMC Technical Support.
Power LED is Amber • Internal power supply has failed. Contact your local dealer for
assistance.
Link LED is Off • Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on.
• Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding
device.
• Verify th at the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed
specified limits.
• Check the adapter on the attached device and cable connections for
possible defects. Replace the defective adapter or cable if necessary.
Power and Cooling Problems
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply.
However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power
connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fans on
the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the
problem, then the internal power supply may be defective.
Installation
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more
components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network
cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other
components are functioning properly.

Troubleshooting
In-Band Access
You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the
attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management
software tools. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the
management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then
verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which
you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not been disabled,
then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location and the
switch.
Caution: The management agent can accept up to four simultaneous Telnet
sessions. If the maximum number of sessions already exists, an additional
Telnet connection will not be able to log into the system.

Appendix B: Cables
Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments
For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs
of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of
wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire
might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector
must be attached to both ends of the cable.
Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific
orientation.
Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45
connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or
100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the
length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
The RJ-45 ports on the switch base unit support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so
you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or
to other switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of
the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of
the cable. When using any RJ-45 port on the switch, you can use either
straight-through or crossover cable.

1000BASE-T Pin Assignments
All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other
switches or hubs.
The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts. These ports
require that all four pairs of wires be connected. Note that for 1000BASE-T
operation, all four pairs of wires are used for both transmit and receive.
Use 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded

Cable Testing for Existing Category 5 Cable
Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk
(NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable testing information is specified in
the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard. Additionally, cables must also pass test
parameters for Return Loss and Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These
tests are specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional
Transmission Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”
Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch cables
between switches and end devices.
Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T
If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for
1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try and
correct the problem:
1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category 5e or
Category 6 cables.
2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.
3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
Fiber Standards
The current TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) 568-A specification on
optical fiber cabling consists of one recognized cable type for horizontal subsystems
and two cable types for backbone subsystems.
Horizontal 62.5/125 micron multimode (two fibers per outlet).
Backbone 62.5/125 micron multimode or single mode.
TIA 568-B will allow the use of 50/125 micron multimode optical fiber in both the
horizontal and backbone in addition to the types listed above. All optical fiber
components and installation practices must meet applicable building and safety
codes.

Auto-Negotiation
Signalling method allowing each node to select its optimum operational mode (e.g.,
speed and duplex mode) based on the capabilities of the node to which it is
connected.
Bandwidth
The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network
signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the data
transmission along the cable.
Collision
A condition in which packets transmitted over the cable interfere with each other.
Their interference makes both signals unintelligible.
Collision Domain
Single CSMA/CD LAN segment.
Glossary-1
Glossary
CSMA/CD
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) is the communication
method employed by Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet.
End Station
A workstation, server, or other device that does not forward traffic.
Ethernet
A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel, and
Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology, and
coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard provides for integration into the
OSI model and extends the physical layer and media with repeaters and
implementations that operate on fiber, thin coax and twisted-pair cable.
Fast Ethernet
A 100 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD
access method.
Full Duplex
Transmission method that allows two network devices to transmit and receive
concurrently, effectively doubling the bandwidth of that link.
Gigabit Ethernet
A 1000 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD
access method.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
IEEE 802.3
Defines carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) access
method and physical layer specifications.
IEEE 802.3ab
Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)
IEEE 802.3u
Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for
100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)

Defines Ethernet frame start and stop requests and timers used for flow control on
full-duplex links. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)
IEEE 802.3z
Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for 1000BASE
Gigabit Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)
LAN Segment
Separate LAN or collision domain.
Layer 2
Data Link layer in the ISO 7-Layer Data Communications Protocol. This is related
directly to the hardware interface for network devices and passes on traffic based on
MAC addresses.
LED
Light emitting diode used for monitoring a device or network condition.
Link Segment
Length of twisted-pair or fiber cable joining a pair of repeaters or a repeater and a
PC.
Local Area Network (LAN)
A group of interconnected computers and support devices.
Management Information Base (MIB)
An acronym for Management Information Base. It is a set of database objects that
contains information about the device.
Media Access Control (MAC)
A portion of the networking protocol that governs access to the transmission
medium, facilitating the exchange of data between network nodes.
Modal Bandwidth
Bandwidth for multimode fiber is referred to as modal bandwidth because it varies
with the modal field (or core diameter) of the fiber. Modal bandwidth is specified in
units of MHz per km, which indicates the amount of bandwidth supported by the fiber
for a one km distance.
Network Diameter
Wire distance between two end stations in the same collision domain.
Glossary-3
Glossary
RJ-45 Connector
A connector for twisted-pair wiring.
Switched Ports
Ports that are on separate collision domains or LAN segments.
TIA
Telecommunications Industry Association
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Protocol suite that includes TCP as the primary transport protocol, and IP as the
network layer protocol.
UTP
Unshielded twisted-pair cable.
Virtual LAN (VLAN)
A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain
regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network. A VLAN
serves as a logical workgroup with no physical barriers, allowing users to share
information and resources as though located on the same LAN.
