1. Introduction

1.1 General Description

The device is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet switch, with all 24 ports capable of

10 or 100Mbps auto-negotiation operation (Nway) which means the switch could automatically

negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for

micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance,

enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications. Moreover, the

10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy way to migrate 10Mbps to 100Mbps network

with no pain. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the Ethernet Switch delivers

a dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion issue.

1.2 Product Features

*Complies with 10BASE-T specifications of the IEEE802.3 standard

*Complies with 100BASE-TX specifications of the IEEE802.3u standard

*RJ-45 ports for 100Base-TX and 10Base-T connectivity

*Supports Nway protocol for speed (10/100Mbps) and duplex mode

(Half/Full) auto-detection

*Supports full and half duplex operation on all ports

*Supports back-pressure (half duplex) and flow control (IEEE802.3x)

*Wire speed packet filtering and forwarding rate

*Store-and-forward architecture filters fragment & CRC error packets

*Port trunks for server/network backbone attachments

*802.1Q VLAN support to enhance security/network performance

*802.1p priority Queues QoS

*Easy configuration through web-based management

*Supports extensive LED indicators for network diagnostics

*Supports MDI/MDI-X auto crossover

*Internal power supply and 19” rack-mount size

1.3 Package contents

-- 24-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch

-- AC Power Cord

-- Quick Installation Guide CD

1.5 Rear panel

Rear Panel of the switching hub has a RS232 Connector, a power cord socket.

1.6 Power Connecting

Plug the circle end of the power cord firmly into the power port on the switch rear panel, and the

other end into an electric service outlet, then the system is ready.

1.7 Connecting computers to the switch

The switch features auto-MDI/MDIX crossover detection function and provides plug-and-play

capability. Users can immediately use any of the features of this product simply by plugging the

network cables (RJ-45) into the computers and the switch.

1.8 Uplink

All Ports can be used as an uplink port for connecting to another unit without using crossover

6

cable. When using the uplink port, you can extend the distance to 100m for linking another switch

or hub.

1.9 To prolong the operational life of your units

*Never stack units more than eight high if freestanding

*Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack

*Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case
