LMS8-A
Mini Switch
The Lantronix LMS8-A Mini Switch brings the
performance advantages of Ethernet switching
to the workgroup. The advantages include:
1. Separate Ethernets on each port - where
hubs provide only a single shared 10 Mbps
segment, the LMS8-A provides up to 8 separate Ethernets, each capable of supporting a full 10 Mbps of throughput
2. Collision domain separation - reduces
unnecessary traffic on each segment and
filters out bad packets
3. Full duplex capability for each port
4. Optional AUI port allows compatibility with
other 10 Mbps Ethernet media
The LMS8-A has 8 10 Mbps RJ45 ports with an
optional AUI interface available on Port 1. Each
port is capable of supporting half or full duplex
mode LMS8-A is a self-learning bridge, capable
of supporting 8,192 addresses and performing
wirespeed filtering and forwarding. All bridging
functions are automatic - no management software is required. Simply install the LMS8-A into
your workgroup network and you can immediately enjoy the benefits of Ethernet switching.

Installation Tips
Note: These tips are additional to the Installation
Instructions that can be found on the back of
the unit.
▼ All ports on the LMS8-A can support full
duplex operation - please make sure that
each port has the proper switching setting
for the desired modes (default switch settings are for half duplex). When the unit is
powered on, verify the correct modes of
operation by examining the LEDs for each
port. No further configuration is necessary.
If the correct mode of operation does not
appear in the LED display, check the cable
and connecting equipment. If changes are
made, power the unit off and then on again
to reset.
▼ Use of the optional AUI on Port 1 will negate
the ability to use the RJ45 for that port.
▼ If the Link/Duplex LED for a port is not lit,
please check the cable being used. The
port will only be operational if the LED is
green (Good Link/Half Duplex) or yellow
(Good Link/Full Duplex).
