The GS910 series switch is equipped with multiple 10/100/1000Base-TX twisted pair ports

Connector

All twisted pair ports feature 8-pin RJ-45 connectors. For the port pinouts, see “RJ-45 Twisted Pair Port Connectors” on page 69.

Speed

The ports are 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T compliant and capable of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps speeds. The ports are IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation compliant. With Auto-Negotiation, the switch automatically matches the highest possible common speed between the switch port and its end-node.

18

Chapter 1: Product Description

For example, if an end-node is capable of only 10 Mbps, the switch sets the port connected to the end-node to 10 Mbps.

Duplex Mode

Each twisted pair port on the switch can operate in either halfor full-duplex mode. The twisted pair ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and automatically negotiate the duplex mode setting.

Note

In order for the switch to set the duplex mode for each port correctly, the end-nodes that you connect to the switch ports also need to be configured for Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise, a duplex mode mismatch can occur, affecting network performance. For further information, refer to “Duplex Mode” on page 21.

Auto MDI/MDI-X

All of the twisted pair ports on the switch feature auto-MDI to automatically configure themselves as MDI or MDI-X when connected to an end-node. Consequently, you can use a straight-through twisted pair cable to connect any network device to a port.

Power Connector The AT-GS910/5, AT-GS910/8, AT-GS910/16, and AT-GS910/24 switches have a single AC power supply socket on the back panel. The AT-GS910/5E and AT-GS910/8E switches have a single DC power supply socket on the back panel. Use the power adapter that came with the switch.

To power ON or OFF the switch, connect or disconnect the power cord.

Ethernet Switching Basics

Backpressure and

Flow Control

An Ethernet switch interconnects network devices, such as workstations, printers, routers, and other Ethernet switches, so that they can communicate with each other by sending and receiving Ethernet frames.

Duplex mode refers to how an end node receives and transmits data. If an end node can receive or transmit data, but not both simultaneously, it is operating in half-duplex mode. If an end node can both receive and transmit data simultaneously, the end node is operating in full-duplex mode. As such an end node capable of operating in full-duplex can handle data much faster than an end node that can only operate in half-duplex mode.

The twisted pair ports on the GS910 series switch can operate in halfor full-duplex mode for 10/100 Mbps. They are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and use Auto-Negotiation to set the duplex mode setting for you automatically.

Note

In order for a switch port to successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex mode with a 10 or 100 Mbps end-node, the end-node should also be configured for Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise, a duplex mode mismatch can occur. A switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it detects that the end-node is not using Auto-Negotiation. This results in a mismatch if the end-node is operating at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.

The GS910 series switch uses store-and-forward as the method for receiving and transmitting frames. When an Ethernet frame is received on a switch port, the switch does not retransmit the frame out the destination port until it has received the entire frame and stored the frame in a port buffer. It then examines the frame to determine if it is a valid frame. Invalid frames, such as fragments or runts, are discarded by the switch. This insures that only valid frames are transmitted out the switch ports and that damaged frames are not propagated on your network.

To maintain the orderly movement of data between the end-nodes, an Ethernet switch may periodically need to signal an end-node to stop sending data. This can occur under several circumstances. For example, if two end-nodes are operating at different speeds, the switch, while transferring data between the end-nodes, might need to instruct the faster end-node to stop transmitting data to allow the slower end-node to catch up. An example of this would be when a server operating at 100 Mbps is sending data to a workstation operating at only 10 Mbps.
