product may cause radio interference, in which
case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.
UL Warning
a) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature- If installed in a
closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the
manufacturer's maximum rated ambient
temperature (Tmra).
b) Reduced Air Flow- Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
c) Mechanical Loading- Mounting of the equipment in the rack
should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
d) Circuit Overloading- Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of circuits might
have on over current protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
e) Reliable Earthing- Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit
(e.g., use of power strips).

NTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the features of the 16-Port 10/100Mbps
Fast Ethernet Smart Switch and some background
information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet and
Switching technology.
Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity
of desktop computing applications are fueling the
need for high performance networks. A number of
high-speed LAN technologies have been proposed
to provide greater bandwidth and improve
client/server response times. Among them,
100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) provides a nondisruptive, smooth evolution from the current
10BASE-T technology. The non-disruptive and
smooth evolution nature, and the dominating
potential market base, virtually guarantee costeffective and high performance Fast Ethernet
solutions.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3
LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps
Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and
receive data at 100Mbps, while maintaining the
CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet is compatible with all other 10Mbps
Ethernet environments, it provides a
straightforward upgrade and takes advantage of
3
the existing investment in hardware, software, and
personnel training.
Switching Technology
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet
technology is the development of switching
technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at
the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol
transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet LAN segments.
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 dividing a local
area network into different segments, which don’t
compete with each other for network transmission
capacity.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the
individual segments. The switch, without
interfering with any other segments,
automatically forwards traffic that needs to go
from one segment to another. By doing this the
total network capacity is 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
4
networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and
maintenance required make routers relatively
impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution
to most kinds of local area network congestion
problems.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by
their physical location and can communicate as if
a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The
primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce
latency and need for routers, using faster
switching instead. Other VLAN utility include:
Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in
VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast domains, thus
Port-based (or port-group) VLAN is the common method of
Security
eavesdropping on a broadcast network because
data will be switched to only those confidential
users within the VLAN.

Installation
The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its
performance. When installing, consider the
following pointers:
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See
Technical Specifications
and humidity operating ranges.
Install the Switch in a site free from strong
electromagnetic field generators (such as motors),
vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the
hub for ventilation.
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can
support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size
equipment rack. For information on rack installation,
see the next section,
When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach
the rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The

Rack Mounting
The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch
rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with
other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at
the switch’s front panel (one on each side), and
secure them with the provided screws.

Connecting Network Cable
The Switch supports 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
and it runs both in half and full duplex mode.
These ports are Auto-MDI type port. The Switch can auto
transform to MDI-II or MDI-X type, so you can
just make an easy connection that without
worrying if you are using a standard or crossover
cable.
AC Power
The Switch can be used with AC power supply 100~240V AC,
50~60 Hz. The power switch is located at the rear
of the unit adjacent to the AC power connector
and the system fan. The switch’s power supply
will adjust to the local power source
10
automatically and may be turned on without
having any or all LAN segment cables connected.

ONFIGURATION
This Switch is an unmanaged, but “smart” Switch because
programmable administration parameters make
the Switch operate more effectively than
unmanaged (dumb) switches. This chapter will
describe how to configure the Switch.
Console Port (RS-232 DCE)
The console configuration requires connecting a terminal, such as
a Workstation or a PC running a terminal
emulation program (such as HyperTerminal,
which is automatically installed with Microsoft
Windows) a to the RS-232 DCE console port of
the Switch.
The console port is set at the factory for following configuration:
Baud rate: 9,600
Data width: 8 bits
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None

connection is configured to match these settings.

Configuring the Switch
The 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch has a
menu-driven console interface for smart switch
configuration. The Switch can be configured
through the serial port. A network administrator
can manage, control and monitor the switch from
the console program. This section indicates how
to configure the Switch to enable its smart
functions including:
There are two items such as Port Configuration and VLAN,
shown in the Setup screen. Each function of these two items will
be illustrated in the following sections.
In the System screen, Factory Reset, Change Password, Confirm
Password, Refresh Time, and Login Timeout, can be viewed and
changed. System Uptime can’t be altered and governed by the
Switch.
The Switch can be uploaded or downloaded its configuration file
by using Upload Configuration or Download Configuration in the

For example, there are five computers (PC1~PC5) connected to
the Switch’s port 1~5. They had been divided into two VLAN
groups: VLAN1 (PC1~PC4) and VLAN2 (PC2~PC5). There is
no way to connect PC1 and PC5 shown as Figure 15. If PC1 has
to connect to PC5, it should joint PC1 and PC5 in the same
VLAN.
