Compex 8 Port Dual Speed Fast Ethernet

Switch (PS2208B)

Introduction

Ø

The key features of the Compex 8 Port Dual Speed Fast Ethernet Switch
(PS2208B) are as follows:

♦ Provides high-speed switching between 10Base-T Ethernet segments as well as

100Base-TX Fast Ethernet segments.

♦ Supports 10Base-T to 100Base-TX connectivity, allowing for progressive migration

from 10Base-T to 100Base-TX technology.

♦ Provides high throughput because Switches route data packets to destination port

instead of broadcasting them to all ports. Alleviates congestion for applications with
high-bandwidth requirements such as multimedia applications and large file transfers.

♦ All ports support full auto-negotiation for 10Mbps and 100Mbps speed and half or full

duplex mode connection. Thus, switching between 100Base-TX and 10Base-T
networks does not require any manual configuration.

♦ Implemented store-and-forward switching scheme prevents the propagation of

erroneous packets.

♦ Provides a dynamic memory sharing in/out buffer to ensure fast error free packet

storage and transmission, which greatly improves your network performance.

♦ Separate collision domain on each port allows unrestricted topology implementation

for fast Ethernet networks.

♦ Each port implements an intelligent unicast address filtering mechanism and a simple

learning and aging algorithm, this dramatically reduces inter-segment traffic.

♦ Comes in a compact desktop unit.

Installation of PS2208B

Ø

PS2208B can be installed on a flat surface (desktop) or mounted on a wall. Follow
the steps below for proper installation.

8K MAC Addresses.

Yes.

Temperature: Operating: 0°C to 40°C
Storage: -5°C to 60°C
Humidity: Operating: 10% to 90%
(non-condensing)

Desktop installation:

1. Unpack the switch.

2. Choose a location near the devices to be connected and close to an electrical outlet.

3. Set the switch on a desktop or any other clean, smooth, level and sturdy surface.

Make sure there is enough clearance around the unit to allow attachment of network
cables, power adapter and allow air circulation.

4. Connect the power adapter to the switch. The POWER LED and PORT LED for

each connected port should light up.

5. The switch is ready to operate.

Wall installation:

1. Measure the distance between the mounting holes at the bottom of the switch and

mark the wall to match the location of the mounting holes on the switch.

2. Drill pilot holes at the two marked locations.

3. Fix two 5/16-inch diameters flat-head mounting screws into the wall, with the heads

of the screws protruded 1/8 inch out from the wall.

4. Carefully set the switch over the screws in the wall; then slide the hub down onto the

screws, pressing it slight to the wall.

5. Connect the power adapter to the switch. The POWER LED and PORT LED for

each connected port should light up.

6. The switch is ready to operate.

Troubleshooting

Ø

LED Indicators: The Compex Pocket Switch PS2208B are designed with LED
indicators to indicate the operating status such as: Power ON/OFF,
Activity/Link Status and 10/100Mbps connection status. The LEDs function as
useful troubleshooting aids and are found on the front panel of the PS2208B.

LED indicator Description of Function

Power Green LED.

If Power LED does not come ON, check that:

•• Power adapter unit and cord are properly inserted into the

socket and hub.

Port Amber LED for 10M connection;

Green LED for 100M connection:

When LED does not turn ON, check that:

•• Wire pair connections at RJ-45 plug are correct.

•• RJ-45 plug is fully inserted until you hear a click sound.

•• The PC is powered-up.
