Introduction
The MIL-S8001TG switch is a multi-port switch that can be used to build
high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a
store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The
switch is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing
environments.
Figure 1-1. The MIL-S8001TG switch
The 8-Port 10/100/1000 + 1 MiniGBIC Gigabit Ethernet Smart Workgroup Switch
features a “store-and-forward“ switching scheme. This allows the switch to
auto-learn and store source addresses in a 4K-entry MAC address table.
The MIL-S8001TG switch has 8 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Base-TX RJ-45 ports
plus one MINI GBIC slot which enables long-distance connection.

Ethernet Switching Technology
Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a
network, eliminated congestion problems inherent with CSMA/CD (Carrier
Sense multiple access with Collision Detection) protocol, and greatly reduced
unnecessary transmissions.
This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous
transmissions over the same port (Full-duplex), which essentially doubled the
bandwidth. Second, by reducing the collision domain to a single switch-port,
which eliminated the need for carrier sensing. Third, by using the
store-and-forward technology’s approach of inspecting each packet to intercept
corrupt or redundant data, switching eliminated unnecessary transmission that
slow the network. By employing address learning, which replaced the inefficient
receiving port.
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. Auto-negotiation and flow-control
may require disablement for some networking operations involves legacy
equipment. Disabling the auto-negotiation is accomplished by fixing the speed
or duplex of a port.
Ethernet Switching Technology supplied higher performance at costs lower
than other solutions. Wider bandwidth, no congestion, and the reduction in
traffic is why switching is replacing expensive routers and inefficient hubs as
the ultimate networking solution. Switching brought a whole new way of
thinking to networking.

Management Methods
The MIL-S8001TG switch series supports Console Management methods
Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the
switch in this method requires a direct connection between a PC and the
switch.

Rear Panel
The 3-pronged power plug and console port are located at the rear panel of the
MIL-S8001TG as shown in Figure 2-3. The switch will work with AC in the
range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.
Figure 2-3. The Rear Panel of MIL-S8001TG switch
Desktop Installation
Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The
surface where you put your switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy.
Provide enough clearance around the switch to allow attachment of cables,
power cord and air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Feet
A. Make sure the 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 prevent the switch from shock/vibration.
10
Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the switch.
Connect the other end of the cord to an appropriate power outlet. The internal
power supply in the switch works with AC in the voltage range of 100-240VAC
and frequency 50~60Hz.
Check the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly
supplied.

Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in witch the Switch
is used. In general, the 8 Gigabit Copper with one MINI GBIC Smart switch is
designed as a segment switch. That is, with its address table (4000 MAC address)
and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly
connecting with 8 Gigabit Copper with one MINI GBIC Smart switch. The switch
automatically learns nodes address, which are subsequently used to filter and
forward all traffic based on the destination address.
By using Uplink port, the Switch can connect with another switch or hub to
interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.
Meanwhile, you can also use fiber ports to connect switches. The distance
between two switches via fiber cable can be up to 220 or 550 meters (multi-mode
fiber) or 60 kilometers (single-mode fiber).
Small Workgroup
The MIL-S8001TG switch can be used as a standalone switch to which
personal computers, servers, and printer servers are directly connected to form
a small workgroup.
12
Segment Bridge
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed,
this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate
backbone.
In the illustration below, two Ethernet switches with PCs, print server, and local
server attached, are both connect to the switch. All the devices in this network
can communicate with each other through the Switch. Connecting servers to
the Switch allow other users to access the data on server.
In the below illustration, two 8 Gigabit Copper with one MINI GBIC Smart
switch are used to interconnect two small workgroups. By using fiber ports to
connect switches, the distance between two switches via fiber cable can be up
to 2Km or 30Km (SC single-mode fiber connector).

Console Management
Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port
Console management involves the administration of the switch via a direct
connection to the RS-232 console port. This port is a female DB-9 connector.
From the main menu of the console program, the user has access to manage
the functions of the switch.
Use the supplied RS-232 cable to connect a terminal or PC to the console port.
The terminal or PC to be connected must support the terminal emulation
program.

Troubleshooting
This section is intended to help you solve some common problems encountered
while using the MIL-S8001TG switch.
Incorrect connections
The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when you link
switch with other Ethernet device. For the RJ-45 connector should use correct
UTP or STP cable, 10/100Mbps port use 2 pairs twisted cable and Gigabit
1000T port use 4 pairs twisted cable. If the RJ-45 connector is not correct pin
on right position then the link will fail. For fiber connection, please note that
fiber cable mode and fiber module should be match.
Faulty or loose cables
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make
sure the connections are snug. If that does not correct the problem, try different
cables.
Non-standard cables
Non-standard and miss-wired cables may cause numerous network collisions
and other network problem. This can seriously impair network performance. A
category-5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every network installation.
31
Improper Network Topologies
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. Common
topology faults include excessive cable length and too many repeaters or hubs
between end nodes. In addition, you should make sure that your network
topology contains no data path loops. Between any two ends nodes, there
should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause
broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance.
Diagnosing LED Indicators
The switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in
identifying problems.
If the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with the power outlet or power cord. However, if the switch
powers off after running for a while check for loose power connections, power
losses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact
your local dealer for assistance.
Cabling
RJ-45 ports: U
cable for RJ-45 connections: 100 Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps
connections or 100 Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Be sure that
se unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP)
the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328
feet). Gigabit ports should use Cat-5 or Cat-5e cable for 1000Mbps
connections and the length should not exceed 100 meters.
