This 8-port Fast Ethernet switch series provides seven 10/100 TP ports
and one 100BASE-FX fiber port, each capable of transmitting or receiving information simultaneously at full wire speed to control and allocate
the network bandwidth.
The key features of the switch series are:
•Optimized Bandwidth : Combining eight 100Mbps-based Fast
Ethernet switched ports, the switch delivers a high network
bandwidth for your Fast Ethernet network
•Ea sy Migration : W ith 10BASE-T support on 10/100 port, the
switch provides a non-disruptive and smooth migration path from
Ethernet to a Fast Ethernet network.
•Fiber Uplink Support : W ith 100BASE-FX port, the switch provides
a connectivity to a Fast Ethernet network via fiber cable.
•Easy Installation : With the functions of auto-speed-sensing and
auto-negotiation on each port, the switch supports plug-and-play
installation which eliminates configuration problems.

1.1 Features
Designed for resolving congestion problems caused by bandwidth-hungry devices and bandwidth-intensive applications as well as a high number of users, the switches not only adhere to the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T,
802.3u 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX standards, but also feature:
•Seven 10/100BASE-TX auto-negotiation switched ports and one
100BASE-FX port for flexible connections to desktop PCs, servers
and Fast Ethernet devices.
•The 10/100BASE-TX switched ports support:
-auto-negotiation with auto-negotiation devices
-full-duplex or half-duplex operation
-automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration
•For the 100BASE-FX fiber port, the switch series support variety of
fiber connectors for different application needs. The fiber connectors include ST , SC, MT-RJ, and VF-45 type s for multi mode a nd
single mode fiber cables.
•Supports duplex mode selector for the 100BASE-FX fiber port.
•Self learning for active MAC addresses and address aging
•Store and forward switching to ensure only good packets are forwarded
•Forwarding and filtering at full wire speed
•Supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex operation
•Supports back-pressure flow control for half-duplex operation
•Comprehensive LED indicators provide quick, easy to read port
and switch information
Check to see that you have everything before you start the installation.
•Installation guide
•The switch unit
•One AC power adapter for the unit
2.2 Checking AC Power
Before you begin the installation, check the AC voltage of your area. The
AC power adapter which is used to supply the DC power for the unit should
have the AC voltage matching the commercial power voltage in your area.
The specifications of the AC power adapter are:
•AC input power:AC power voltage of your area
•DC output power:+7.5VDC 1A min.
•DC plug type:

The DC power ja ck for the AC power a da pter is located on the rear of the
switch as shown below:
2.3 Installing the Switch
1 . Install the switch with the AC power adapter provided.
2. Connect the power adapter cable to the switch before connecting
the adapter to the AC outlet.

3.Making Network Connections
3.1 Switched Ports
The following figure shows the locations of the switched ports:
3.2 Making UTP Connections
10/100 TP Port Configuration
All 10/100 TP ports support configuration as follows:
Auto-negotiation capable
Highest capability : 100M Full duplex
Speed : auto-sensing for 100Mbps or 10Mbps
Duplex : Full duplex, Half duplex
Auto MDI-X function
The following table lists the configuration used for the 10/100 port when
it connects to different devices:
*1 Non-auto : non-auto-negotiation
*2 speed is determined by auto-sensing function

Cables
Depending on the connection speed, use the proper UTP cables:
SpeedCables usedDistance
100MCat. 5, 5e, or higher grade100 meters
10MCat. 3, 4, 5, 5e, or higher grade100 meters
Auto-MDI-X Function
An Auto-MDI-X function will automatically detect if a crossover is required and make the swap of Tx pair and Rx pair internally. With this
function, straight-through cable can be used for any connection. MDI to
MDI-X connection rule is not necessary anymore. In the switches, all TP
ports are equipped with this function. You can use just straight-through
type of cables for all your connections.
3.3 Making Fiber Connection
For different fiber connections, several alternative models can be
selected for different fiber connections. Refer to Section 1.2 for the
model selection. The following figure illustrates a connection example
between two SC fiber ports:

100FX Duplex Selector
This selector is used for 100FX port duplex mode selection as follows:
The following table lists the maximum MM fiber cable length connecting
to different devices:
Connected DeviceDistance (MMF cable)
Network card half-duplex fiber port400 m
Network card full-duplex fiber port2 km
Class I hub half-duplex fiber port160 m
2 Class II hub half-duplex fiber port112 m
