Overview
Thanks for choosing LevelOne FSW-2205/2208TX 5/8Port
10/100Mbps Internal Power SOHO Switch. It is the smallest switch
with internal power supply around the world. The switches are
designed to be suitable for integrating both 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX networking circumstance with cabling UTP (Unshielded
Twisted-Pair) connection in Small/Medium Business (SMB) and Small
Office/Home Office (SOHO) environment. Simple plug in the
networking cable and the switches will automatically detect the
maximum speed of networking connection to offer smooth network
migrations and easy upgrades to network capacity. In addition, built-in
power supply eliminates the hassle of power adapter allocation and
increase users’ convenience. For easy recognition of network status
and trouble-shooting, it provides a set of diagnostic LEDs, including
10Mbps, 100Mbps, Link/Activity and FDX/Col.
Features
Ø Single chip with highest level of silicon integration for the 5/8-port
10/100 Fast Ethernet switch device, embedded on -chip memory
used for packet buffer and MAC address
Ø Support auto-crossover (auto MDI/MDI-X) on every 10/100M
RJ-45 port
Ø Designed with internal power supply. Palm-sized, plastic case
together with internal power design, convenient for the

placement and power cord arrangement
Ø Each port with non-blocking wire speed forwarding performance.
Ø Each port support flow control and back-pressure.
Ø Small size and Plug-and-Play solution for SOHO application
Ø FCC Part15 Class B, CE EN55022 Class B, VCCI Class B

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
A. Basic Installation
1. Place LevelOne 5/8Port 10/100Mbps Internal Power SOHO
Switch on a smooth surface.
2. Connect the power cord to the LevelOne 5/8Port 10/100Mbps
Internal Power SOHO Switch.
3. Connect server, workstation or PC to your 5-port/8-port Switch
using standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
4. Connect another workstation or PC to your LevelOne 5/8Port
10/100Mbps Internal Power SOHO Switch by following the same
process as described in Step 3.
5. If necessary, another hub/switch also can be connected to any
port of LevelOne 5/8Port 10/100Mbps Internal Power SOHO
Switch using standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable for more flexible
application.
6. Ensure that each device is connected properly. Plug power cord
into the power outlet.
B. NWAY Process
“Auto-Negotiation” (NWAY) mode automat ically sets the best possible
bandwidth when connection is established with another network
device.
The Auto -Negotiation priorities:
A. 100Base-TX Full Duplex (200Mbps)
B. 100Base-Tx Half Duplex (100Mbps)
Page 8
8
C. 10Base-T Full Duplex (20Mbps)
D. 10base-T Half Duplex (10Mbps)
Each port with NWAY capability, support Half/Full Duplex function.
? Attention:
1. The cable distance between the LevelOne FSW-2205/2208TX
5/8Port 10/100Mbps Internal Power SOHO Switch and hub/server
should not exceed 100 meters.
2. Make sure the wiring is correct. In 10Mbps operation, Category
3/4/5 cable can be used for connection. To reliably operate your
network at 100Mbps, you must use Category 5 cable, or better
Data Grade cabling.

Sample Application
The optimal application for the LevelOne 5/8Port 10/100Mbps Internal
Power SOHO Switch is as a “bridge” joining 100Mbps and 10Mbps
network segments. The following figure illustrates the application.
Scenario I:
Scenario II:
Note:
LevelOne FSW-2205/2208TX 5/8Port 10/100Mbps Internal Power
SOHO Switch supports auto-crossover (auto MDI/MDI-X) function.
Every port can be connected directly to another hub/switch for more
flexible application. The user doesn’t need to use special crossover
cable for uplink.
