1. Introduction

Gigabit Ethernet over copper technology is a cost-effective way for
network equipment to be upgraded from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit speeds
without the use of expensive fiber optics cabling. Gigabit networks create
high-speed backbone connections between switches, servers, databases
and end stations.

The MIL-S8000G, an 8-Port Gigabit switch, is an ideal solution for solving
traffic block at the core of the network. It offers eight auto-negotiation
10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports that can significantly improve
your network’s backbone performance. The switch will fit into any level
network to act as an exit to the backbone switch that can handle
throughput speeds up to 2000Mbps at Full-duplex mode.

Figure 1-1. MIL-S8000G

The switch will automatically detect the speed of the device that you plug
into it to allow connections to 10, 100 or 1000Mbps devices.

The eight port Gigabit switch features automatic MDI/MDIX connections
for each port. It also features store-and-forward switching and auto­learning of source addresses with an 8,000 entry MAC address table.

Features

 Conforms to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab and 802.3x standards

 Eight auto-negotiation 10/100/1000Base-TX switch ports (Using

shielded RJ-45 connections)

 Automatic MDI/MDIX crossover for all ports

2. Hardware Description

Front Panel

The Front Panel of the 8-Port Gigabit Switch consists of eight auto­negotiation 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 connectors, supporting
automatic MDI/MDIX, and four LED-indicators (1000M, 100M, LK/ACT,
FUL/COL) for each Gigabit port.

 Console Port : Console management is available through the

Console Port. A direct connection between the Switch and an end
station ( PC ) via a RS-232 cable is required.

LED Indicators

The LED Indicators gives a real-time indication of system operating
statuses. There are four LED-indicators for each Gigabit port and one
