1. Introduction

In today’s society, the ability to communicate quickly and share important data is
essential to our lifestyle. Computer networks have proven to be one of the fastest
methods of communication.

The MIL-SM801 and MIL-SM800 series are compact desktop size switches that are
ideal solutions for small, medium and enterprise networks. The switch provides
wire-speed switching with high-performance, and low-cost connections. Using the
store-and-forward switching method, this switch can auto-learn and store up to 8K
worth of MAC addresses.

Figure 1-1. The MIL-SM801XX

The MIL-SM800 switch provides eight switched auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
Ethernet ports. The MIL-SM801 provides one additional 100BASE-FX fiber port.
The switch will automatically detect the speed of the device that you plug into,
allowing you to use both 10 and 100Mbps devices. The 10Mbps bandwidth will
accommodate 10Mbps workgroup hubs while simultaneously providing the
100Mbps bandwidth needed to accommodate multimedia applications. In addition,
each RJ-45 port supports Auto MDI/MDIX for easy installation.

The MIL-SM801XX switch provides one 100Base-FX fiber port. There are 4 types
of fiber connectors available on the switch. These fiber connectors are SC, ST, MT­RJ, VF-45 (multi-mode) and SC (single-mode). The fiber port can be used to
connect to a remote site up to 2 kilometers (multi-mode) or 15~60 kilometers (SC
single- mode).

Both switches include built in Web-based Management. You can easily configure
and monitor the switch through your web browser. You can also use our text base
console program through Telnet, Serial Console, or any SNMP management
system.

Compare the contents of your MIL-SM801XX or MIL-SM800 package with the
standard checklist above. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your
local dealer for service.

Ethernet Switching Technology

Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a
network, eliminated congestion problems inherent with Carrier Sense Multiple
Access with Collision Detection protocol, and greatly reduced unnecessary
transmissions.

Switches have revolutionized the network world in three major ways. First, by using
a switch you can have two-way, simultaneous transmissions over the same port (full
duplex), essentially doubling the bandwidth. Second, by reducing the collision
domain to a single switched-port “Carrier Sensing” is eliminated. Third, using store­and-forward switching, unnecessary transmissions can be eliminated to avoid
congestion.

Auto-negotiation regulates the speed and duplex of each port, based on the
capability of both devices. Flow-control allows transmission from a 100Mbps node
to a 10Mbps node without loss of data. You may need to disable auto-negotiation
and flow control for some networking operations involving legacy equipment.
Disabling the auto-negotiation is accomplished by fixing the speed or duplex of a
port.

Management Methods

The switches support the following management methods:

n Console and Telnet Management
n Web-based Management
n SNMP Network Management

Console and Telnet Management

Console Management is done through the serial Console Port. This method
requires a direct connection between a PC and the switch. Telnet management is
done over the network. Once the switch has an assigned IP address and is on the
network, you can use Telnet to login and make configuration changes.

Web-based Management

The switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory. It offers
advanced management features and allows users to manage the switch from
anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator. For more information, see chapter 6.

SNMP Network Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a way to monitor and
control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistic collection,
performance, and security.

2. Hardware Description

This section describes the hardware of the managed switches. The switch is compact in
size with eight auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports (MIL-SM800) and one
100Base-FX fiber port (MIL-SM801xx).

Front Panel

The front panel of the MIL-SM801XX series consists of eight auto-sensing 10/100Mbps
Ethernet RJ-45 ports (automatic MDI/MDIX), one 100Base-FX fiber port, and LED
indicators.

Different front panels of the MIL-SM801XX series are illustrated below. There are four
different types of fiber connectors available for the convenience of your connectivity.
These fiber connectors are SC, (SC single-mode), ST, MT-RJ and VF-45.

n RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): Eight 10/100 auto-sensing for 10Base-T or

100Base-TX connections. MDI configuration provides the means to connect to
another hub or switch while MDIX provides connection to a workstation or PC.

n 100Base-FX Fiber Port: There are four connectors available for the MIL-

SM801XX as shown above. The distance for multi-mode fiber cabling can be
up to 2 kilometers, whereas the distance for SC single-mode fiber can be up to
60 kilometers.

Rear Panel

The 3-pronged power plug is located at the rear panel of the switch as shown in
Figure 2-8. The switch will work with AC in the range of 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.

Figure 2-8 The Rear Panel of the switch

Desktop Installation

Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The
surface should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy. Make sure there is enough
clearance around the switch to allow for air circulation and the attachment of cables
and power cord.

Attaching Rubber Feet

A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the switch is grease and dust

free.
B. Remove adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
C. Apply the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch. These

footpads can protect the switch from shock/vibration.
