Longshine LCS-883R-SW24N User Manual

The device is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet switch,
with all 24 ports capable of 10 or 100Mbps auto-negotiation
operation (NWay), which means the switch could automatically
negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and
duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into
smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the
bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications.
Moreover, the 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy
way to migrate 10Mbps to 100Mbps network with no pain.
Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switch
delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every attached
client with no bandwidth congestion issue. This switch also supports
auto MDI / MDI-X function. Each port could be used to connect to
another switch or hub with no crossover RJ-45 cable.

Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus
eliminates all the network errors, including runt and CRC error
packets. To 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 can provide the operating status
of individual port and whole system.

Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable. Plug one
RJ-45 connector into a RJ-45 port of the switch, and plug the other
RJ-45 connector into the station’s network adapter. Power on the
switch and then system is ready.
For cable selection, refer to the following table.

In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to
connect another switch with straight or crossover cable. As all the
ports support auto MDI / MDI-X function, using a straight cable to
make a switch-to-switch connection is allowed.

The switch may standalone, 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 two optional rack mounting brackets and
screws. These are used for rack mounting the unit.
