Caution

Circuit devices are sensitive to static electricity, which can damage their delicate electronics. Dry weather conditions or walking across a carpeted floor may cause you to acquire a static electrical charge.

To protect your device, always:

• Touch the metal chassis of your computer to ground the static electrical charge before you pick up the circuit device.

• Pick up the device by holding it on the left and right edges only.

Introduction

Overview

The Levelone 8/16 Port Fiber Switch is a standard switch that meets all IEEE

802.3u/802.3x specifications. Fast Ethernet Switch is a cost-effective solution for easing your network congestion problem on existing shared-hub network by breaking up the collision domain and by multiplying the network performance. The overall network transmission speed is increased and the network efficiency is improved to accommodate high-bandwidth applications, such as imaging, multimedia, and CAD/CAM, etc.. Four models are available:

FSW-0800FXC FSW-0800FXT FSW-1600FXC 16 Port 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch with SC Connector FSW-1600FXT 16 Port 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch with ST Connector

Installing & Network Connection

Installation

The fiber TX, RX cables must be paired at both ends.

Repeat the above step, as needed, for each fiber port to be connected to

a 100Base-FX device.

The fiber port can be up-linked to an upper level hub's port.

Þ Verify that the voltage of AC power is correct and plug in AC power cord.

Note:

1. Both local and remote link devices (mode) must operate at the same transmission mode and speed

After the hub is powered off, wait at least 10 seconds before powering it

on again

Network Parameter for 100Mbps Fiber

To help ensure a successful installation, you must observe the following cabling parameter. Violating these rules can render the LAN to work poorly.
