2. Introduction to 24-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch

2.1 General Description

The device is a 24-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Web Smart Switch.

Compare to the traditional 10/100Mbps Ethernet, the switch delivers a dedicated Gigabit connection to
every attached client with no congestion issue. The gigabit ports also provide the fat pipe to the server
or backbone connectivity for boosting the total system performance. Moreover, the NWay auto-nego­tiation operation automatically negotiates with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex
mode; that provides an easy way to integrate 10/100/1000Mbps networks with no pain. It is ideal for
micro-segmenting large networks into smaller , connected subnets for improved performance, enabling
the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications.

Out of the ordinary dumb switches, the 24-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch embedded advanced man­agement capability; that the device can be managed through console port or web-based UI. This is
much useful for system manager to monitor and control the system efficiently .

Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all the network errors,
including runt and CRC error packets. T o work under full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of
the frames can occur simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double the network band­width.

The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of
network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel provide the operating status
of individual port and whole system.

2.2 Key Features

• 24 fixed 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports for easy network connecting application.

• Provide Auto-discovery Function for easy Network management.

• Provide 8K MAC address entries and 24 groups VLAN table

• Support up to 8 ports and 8 groups port aggregation.

• Support QoS-TOS, Egress rate control, Ingress rate control and Storm control for better Network
management.

• Support full duplex flow control and half duplex back pressure

• Store-and-forward forwarding scheme

• Error packet filtering

• Support Jumbo frame 9.6kbytes

• Supports 400K buffer Memory

• Support local Console port or W eb-based UI for configuration

• Internal switching power supply (100-240V ac/50-60Hz)

2.3 The Front Panel

The front panel of the switch is shown as below:

Port Operation

There are 24 * 1000Mbps RJ-45 (copper) ports on the front panel.
The auto-negotiation feature of the switch allows each port of the device running at one of the follow­ing operation modes:

Speed Duplex Mode

10Mbps Full Duplex

Half Duplex

100Mbps Full Duplex

Half Duplex

1000Mbps Full Duplex

All ports supports MDI/MDI-X auto crossover capability that is the port can connect either the PC or
hub without crossover cable adjustment.

Wiring for 10/100/1000Mbps (Copper)

Following are the summaries of cabling required:

Media Speed Wiring

10/100/1000Mbps copper 10Mbps Category 3,4,5 UTP/STP

100Mbps Category 5 UTP/STP
1000Mbps Category 5,5e UTP/STP

LEDs Definition

The rich diagnostic LEDs on the front panel can provide the operating status of individual port and
whole system.

Power LED This indicator lights green when the switch is receiving power; otherwise, it is

off.

Port LEDs Every RJ-45 port on the front panel relevant two LEDs (10/100M; 1000Mbps)

for indicating the connection speed and activity status.

Port LED summary table

LEDs Status Interpretation

10/100M Steady /Blinking Amber Connected as 10Mbps/Active

Steady/Blinking green Connected as 100Mbps/Active

1000M Steady/Blinking green Connected as 1000Mbps/Active

If the port is connected but the Port LED is dark, check the following items:

• The switch and the connected device power are on or not.

• The connecting cable is good and with correct type

• The cable is firmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in the associated device

• The connecting device, including any network adapter is well installed and functioning

3. Installing 24-Port Gigabit Web Smart Switch

This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack. Users can immediately use
most of the features simply by attaching the cables and turning the power on.

2.1 Desktop Installation

For desktop installation, the switch needs to put on a clean, flat desk or table close to a power outlet.
Plug in all network cables and the power cord, then the system is ready.

Before installing the switch, you must ensure:

1. It is accessible and cables can be connected easily

2. Cabling is away from:

• Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers

• Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

3. Keep water or moisture off

4. Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is great for heat radiation
(company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25 mm clearance)

T o prolong the operational life of your units:

1. Never stack unit more than eight sets high if freestanding

2. Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack

3. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case

3.2 Rack-mount Installation

The switch may stand alone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack mounting
produces an orderly installation when you have a number of related network devices. The switch is
supplied with rack mounting brackets and screws. These are used for rack mounting the unit.

Rack Mounting the Switch in the 19-inch rack:

1. Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing.

2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing toward you.

3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.

4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.

5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.

6. Insert the unit into the 19" rack and secure with suitable screws (not provided).

7. Reconnect all cables.

3.3 Installing Network Cables

Station Connections

Reference to the wiring statement of the previous section; connect each station to the switch with
correct type of cables.

Switch-to-Switch Connections

In making a switch-to-switch connection, use every ports to connect another switch or backbone is
strongly recommended. The Gigabit ports provide the fat pipe to the server or backbone connectivity
for boosting the total system performance. Reference to the wiring statement of the previous section;
connect each station to the switch with correct type of cables.

Furthermore, as the switch supports Port Aggregation (Port Trunk) capability and up to 8 groups, it is
also great to build up switch-to-switch connectivity .

3.4 Network Application

-11-

4. Functional Description

4.1 PHY Monitoring and Port Mode Set-up

It is a major task of the software to continuously monitor the PHYs in order to set up the switch ports
according to whether the link is down or up and in the latter case what the current speed, duplex mode
and pause capabilities are.

PHYs are being polled every 100 ms.

4.2 Flow Control

In the 24-port switch flow control (back pressure) is also supported in half duplex. Flow control can be
enabled or disabled on a per-port basis from the command line interface.

If flow control is enabled for a port the associated PHY will be set to advertise support of Symmetric

Pause, but not Asymmetric Pause. If the station connected to the port also supports Symmetric
Pause, flow control will be enabled on the switch port.

4.3 Ageing

T o prevent that an automatically learned MAC address of a station that has been detached will remain
in the MAC address table permanently , the ageing function in the switch is activated on a regular basis.
The period for doing the ageing function is determined by the ageing time parameter . The ageing time
parameter can be set from the command line interface. Default value is 300 seconds. Setting the
ageing time parameter to 0 disables the ageing function.

4.4 VLAN

The device supports 802.1Q tag based VLAN. With tagging to the header of packets, the network can
be segmented in groups to reduce the collisions from widely broadcasting. A maximum of 24 VLAN
groups can be stored in EEPROM. The VLAN look up is based on full 24-bit vlaue of packet VID or
Port PVID. It also provides egress tagging mode setting for each port.

4.5 Link Aggregation

Link aggregation groups (or channels) can be defined statically. LACP (Link Aggregation Control
Protocol) is not supported.

Maximum number of aggregation groups is 8.

The software will automatically detect that a link has gone down and then reassign packet distribution
on the other links in the group.

4.6 Quality of Service

Various classifications and prioritization such as TOS, Egress rate control, Ingress rate control and
Storm are supported in order to enable Quality of Service for real time applications such as VoIP
(Voice over IP).
