1. Introduction

The MIL-SM801P, MIL-SM801G and MIL-SM800P managed series of
compact desktop switches are ideal solutions for network users. They
provide wire-speed, Fast Ethernet switching providing high­performance data transfer. The switches feature a store-and-forward
architecture with auto-learning of source addresses with an 8K-entry
MAC address table.

Figure 1-1. The MIL-SM801P switch

The switches provide 8 switched auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
Ethernet ports. The MIL-SM801P provides one additional 100BASE-FX
fiber port and the MIL-SM801G provides one additional 1000BASE-SX
Gigabit Ethernet port. The switch automatically detects the speed of
the device attached allowing use of both 10 and 100Mbps devices. In
addition, each RJ-45 port supports Auto MDI/MDIX.

There are 4 types of fiber connectors available on the MIL-SM801P
switch. These fiber connectors include SC, MT-RJ, and VF-45 in multi­mode and SC in single-mode. The fiber port can be used to connect to
remote sites up to 220 meters using multi-mode or 15 kilometers with
SC single-mode.

With built-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring the
switch is simplified. The Web Browser may be used to configure and
manage the network, from cabinet level management to port level
control and monitoring. Use of a mouse replaces typing of command
strings. The switch can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or
SNMP Management.

Management Methods

The MIL-SM801P, MIL-SM801G and MIL-SM800P switch series
support the following management methods:

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

Console and Telnet Management

Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port.
Managing the switch in this method requires a direct connection
between PC and the switch. Telnet management requires a network
connection. The default IP address is 192.168.1.77 with a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0. This default address can be used to login and
change the configuration using Telnet.

Web-based Management

The switch provides an embedded HTML web server 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.

SNMP Network Management

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

new VLANs, use the Create a VLAN Group menu and add a VLAN. Make
sure when you enter a VLAN name you do not leave spaces. For example
VLAN2 is correct; VLAN 2 will give an error. The VLAN name can be any 15
alphanumeric characters. Special characters are not allowed.

22

4-3-4-1. VLAN Configuration

Choose a VLAN

In the VLAN Configure menu select the type of VLAN you want to configure: No
VLAN (default), Port Based, 802.1Q, or 802.1Q with GVRP. Save the

configuration. There are 4 different options for VLANs to choose from using

the space bar: Disabled, Port Based, 802.1Q and 802.1Q with GVRP.

Port Based VLANs

These VLANs only apply to this switch. The VLANs can be overlapping, meaning
that any port can belong to more than one VLAN. One configuration that is
common for port based VLANs is to have all the ports on the switch on separate
VLANs except for the port that has the server connected. The port connected to
the server belongs to all the VLANs. This enables security between ports but
allows all ports access to the server. Up to 256 different port based VLANs may
be configured.

23

Port Based VLANs

To configure a new VLAN, select Edit and then use the tab key to select items you
want to configure. The space bar allows you to select the different options. In the
following configuration, ports 6, 7, and 8 are trunked.

After adding a VLAN group, the configuration option Edit a VLAN Group will allow
you to change the membership by adding or deleting ports.

24

IEEE802.1Q VLANs

If IEEE802.1Q VLANs is selected, all the ports will belong to the default
VLAN 1.

25

If more than one VLAN is necessary, the additional VLANs may be created.

PVID (Port VID): Set the port VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged
traffic on a given port. This feature is useful for accommodating devices that
you want to participate in the VLAN, but don’t support tagging. Only one
untagged VLAN is allowed per port. Other VLANs need to be tagged.

Ingress Filter 1: If this is set, the port will only forward packets with VID
(VLAN ID) matching this port’s configured VID. Press the Space key to
choose forward or drop the frame with the VID not matching this port’s
configured VID.

Ingress Filter 2: Drop untagged frame. Press the Space key to choose
drop or forward the untagged frame.

26

4-3-4-2. Create a VLAN Group

To create a VLAN and add tagged /untagged member ports to it:

1. VLAN Name: Type a name for the new VLAN using 15 alphanumeric
characters and no spaces.

2. VLAN ID: Type a VID (between 2~4094). The default is 1.

3. Protocol VLAN: Press the Space key to choose protocol type. When
set, this acts as a packet filter on the port by restricting packets on the
port of only the selected protocol type.

4. Member: Press the Space key to choose VLAN membership. There are
three selections:
UnTagged: the member port is an untagged port.
Tagged: the member port is a tagged port.
No: The port is not a member of this VLAN group.

5. Save the configuration.

Actions->

<Quit>: Exits this page and returns to previous menu.
<Edit>: Configures all items. When finished, pressing ESC returns to the

action menu line.

the TAB key. VLAN 1, the default VLAN, can never be deleted. All other
VLANs can be deleted using this menu.

When editing the chosen VLAN, the user can change the protocol VLAN or
a member port. A new protocol can be configured and the ports can be
changed to tagged or untagged or deleted as member ports from this
VLAN. In edit mode the VLAN Name and VLAN ID are read-only and
cannot be modified. After editing or deleting a VLAN, press the <Save> key
to save all configured values.

28

4-3-5. Priority Configuration

1.There are eight (0~7) priority levels that can be mapped as high or low

priority queues.

2.High/Low Queue Service Ratio (High:Low) : User can select the ratio

of high priority packets to low priority packets.

<Quit>: Exits this page and returns to the previous menu.
First In First Out: The sequence of packets sent depends upon the arrival

order.
High - Low: The high priority packets are sent before the low priority
packets.

Ratio: Select the preference given to packets in the switch's high-priority
queue. These options represent the number of high priority packets sent
before one low priority packet is sent. For example, 2 High : 1 Low means
that the switch sends 2 high priority packets before sending 1 low priority
packet.

29

4-3-6.MAC Address Configuration

4-3-6-1.Static MAC Address

When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch's address
table regardless of whether or not the device is physically connected to the
switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC
address when the device is disconnected or powered off and then becomes
active again.

The menu shows the current configured static MAC addresses. The user
can add, modify or delete a static MAC address. Once added, the MAC
address will be listed on this page.

Add static MAC address

1. Press the <Add> key. Then press the <Edit> key on this menu to add a
static MAC address.

2. Enter the MAC address to and from which the port should permanently
forward traffic.

11. In the Port Num field, enter the port number for the device.

12. The VLAN ID field is not available if the switch is configured for port
based VLANs. If tag-based (802.1Q) VLANs are configured, the static
addresses are associated with individual VLANs. The user must add the
VID to be associated with the MAC address.

4. Press ESC to go back to the action menu line, and then select <Save>
to save all configured values.

Note: If you change VLAN types from IEEE to port based, all your static
MAC addresses will be deleted.

A port set in security mode will be “locked” and be without address learning.
Only the incoming packets with the source MAC address already existing in
the address table can be forwarded. With port security, users can disable a
port from learning new MAC addresses. The user may then return to the
static MAC addresses menu to define a list of MAC addresses that can
access the secured port.

1. Press <Edit> to enable or disable the port security.

4-3-7-2.MAC Age Interval

To configure a different MAC Age Interval, type the number of seconds that
an inactive MAC address remains in the switch’s address table before it is
deleted. Once the address is removed from the table, a device will have to
send out broadcast packets to be relearned by the switch and have its
address put in the table. The valid range is 300 to 765 seconds. Default is
300 seconds or 5 minutes.

Broadcast storm filtering is used to limit the amount of broadcast traffic on
the network. An excessive amount of broadcast traffic can inhibit data
packets from timely delivery.

The valid threshold values are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and NO. If the
broadcast traffic is greater than the configured value, broadcast packets will
be dropped. The default is NO. The default is set so that no broadcast
packets are ever dropped no matter how many broadcast packets there are
on the network.

Press the Space key to set the time. The valid values are 1sec, 2sec, 4sec
and Off. Default is OFF. This setting does not depend on what values are
set in the “Priority Configuration” menu.

Enable Delay Bound: If this parameter is enabled, the “Max bridge
transmit delay bound” must also be configured. This item allows you to limit
the queuing time of low priority packets in the switch. When the low priority
packets exceed the “Max Delay Time” they will be transmitted. Press the
Space key to enable or disable this function. By default the Enable Delay
Bound is set OFF.

Max Delay Time: Sets the time that low priority packets are queued in the
switch. The valid range is 1~255 ms. Since the default is OFF, the Max
Delay Time is 0. This item must be set if “Enable Delay Bound” is
configured.

NOTE: “Max bridge transit delay bound control” must be enabled before
Max Delay Bound is enabled.

Web-Based Management

This section introduces the configuration and functions of the web-based
management of MIL-SM801P, MIL-SM801G and MIL-SM800P switch
series. The managed switch series provides an embedded HTML website
residing in flash memory. This feature allows users to manage the switch
from anywhere on the network through a standard web browser.

NOTE: The web management function will have unexpected displays using

Win2000 with Service Pack2 when the IE is below version 5.5.

Web Management

Web Management enables a web browser to manage and monitor the
switch. The default TCP/IP values are listed below. Use the console port if
you need to change the IP address in order to use the web browser.

update firmware, configuration backup, system reset, and reboot.

5-4-1. IP Address

The IP Settings can be changed by filling in new values and clicking on the
apply button. The switch must be reset for the new IP address to take
effect.

Default IP address is 192.168.1.77.

5-4-2. Switch Settings

1. Description: Displays the name of device type.

2. MAC Address: Displays unique hardware address assigned by the
manufacturer.

3. Firmware Version: Displays the switch’s downloaded firmware version.

4. Hardware Version: Displays the switch’s hardware version.

5. Default config value version: Rebooting the switch to defaults will load
this version of software, which is the version originally shipped with the
switch.

53

5-4-2-2.Advanced

1. Miscellaneous Settings:

MAC Address Age-out Time: Type the number of seconds that an inactive

MAC address remains in the switch's address table. The valid range is
300~765 seconds. Default is 300 seconds.

Max bridge transit delay bound control: Limits the packets queuing time
in the switch. If enabled, the packets that exceed the time limit in the queue
will be dropped. The valid values are 1 sec, 2 sec, 4 sec and off (no limit).
Default is 1 second.

Broadcast Storm Filter: The threshold is the percentage of the port's total
bandwidth used by broadcast traffic. When the threshold is reached,
broadcast traffic is dropped. To configure broadcast storm control, first
enable it and then set the upper threshold for each individual port. When
broadcast traffic for a port rises above the threshold set, broadcast storm
control becomes active. The valid threshold value are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%,
25% and off.

54

2. Priority Queue Service settings:

First Come First Service: The sequence of packets sent is dependent on

the order of arrival. The first packets in the queue are transmitted before
any other packets.

All High before Low: The high priority packets are sent before the low
priority packets.

Weighted Round Robin: This option enables the user to choose a ratio of
the number of high priority packets sent before one low priority packet is
sent. For example, 2:1 (2 High : 1 Low) will have the switch send 2 high
priority packets before sending 1 low priority packet.

Enable Delay Bound: Limits the low priority packets queuing time in the
switch. Default Max Delay Time is 255ms. If the low priority packet exceeds
the Max Delay Time, it will be sent. The valid range is 1~255 ms.

NOTE: Make sure the “Max bridge transit delay bound control” is enabled
before enabling Delay Bound. The Enable Delay Bound only works under
“Max bridge transit delay bound control is enabled”.

QoS Policy: High Priority Levels: 0~7 priority level can map to a high or
low queue. When the VLAN Tag number of a frame is mapped as a high
priority level, the frame always has a high priority. In this example, the QoS
policy applies to the switch, not for a single port.

55

3. Protocol Enable Setting:

Enable Spanning Tree Protocol: Enables STP. The recommended default

is enabled.

Enable Internet Group Multicast Protocol: Enables IGMP protocol.
IGMP Query Mode: Recognizes different queries from clients or servers to

decide which Query will be the first priority. The three modes are:

1. Auto Mode: Chooses the switch that has the smallest IP address to be
set for the IGMP Query mode.

2. Enable Mode: Enables the switch to be the IGMP Queryer.

3. Disable Mode: Disables all other switches from being the IGMP
Queryer.

4. VLAN Operation Mode:

No VLAN

802.1Q(Tag VLAN) without GVRP VLAN mode

802.1Q(Tag VLAN) with GVRP VLAN mode (Default)
Port Based

56

4. IGMP Theory of Operation

The following three topologies detail how IGMP Query works and to be
configured within a network:

1. Auto mode needs to be enabled when the router’s IP address is smaller

than other switches in the subnet.

2. IGMP needs to be enabled when the router’s IP address is not smaller

than other switches in the subnet. This Router supports IGMP protocol, but
IGMP has to be enabled, and the Router has to be the Queryer.

57

3. The following topology must be set when the IP address of the switch is

not the smallest in the subnet. The network will cause a multi-cast storm
from the IGMP client report if it is in Auto mode. All switches must be in
disable mode when the VOD server is configured for IGMP Queryer.

Note: It is suggested that the VOD server switch have the smallest IP
address.

All of the switches must be in disable mode when the VOD server is
configured for IGMP Queryer.

GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol)

GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes.
A GVRP request can be sent using the VID of a VLAN defined on the switch
when the switch is connected to a device with GVRP enabled. The switch
will automatically add that device to the existing VLAN.

58

5-4-3. Console Port Information

The Windows HyperTerminal program can be used to link the switch with
the console port. In order to change any of these parameters, you must be
connected to the console port.

Bits per seconds: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop Bits: 1
Flow control: none

59

5-4-4. Port Controls

The menu allows changing of port configurations.

State: User can disable or enable this port. If disabled, there is no network
communication through this port.
Auto Negotiation: User can set port duplex and port speed to use auto
negotiation.

Speed setting: User can set 100Mbps or 10Mbps speed (Port1~Port8)
Duplex setting: User can set port to use full-duplex or half-duplex.
Flow control setting: User can set flow control function to be enabled or

disabled.

5-4-5. Trunking

Trunking provides a standardized means for exchanging information
between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control
instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group
to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation
Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly
manner. Link aggregation allows grouping of up to eight consecutive ports
into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a
device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode. For
more detailed information refer to IEEE 802.3ad.

If there are two trunk groups A and B, and B group is enabled LACP, then it
will act as a redundant link (Backup group for Trunk group A). If trunk group
A fails, Group B will be it's backup.

60

5-4-5-1. Aggregator Setting

System Priority: A value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with

the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP.

1. Group ID: To create a trunk across two or more ports, choose the
"Group ID" and click "Get".

2. LACP: If enabled, the group supports LACP. If disabled, the group is a
local static trunking group between two switches. All ports support LACP
dynamic trunking group. If connecting to another device that also
supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunking group will be created
automatically.

3. Work ports: Defines the maximum number of ports that can be
aggregated at the same time. If the group is an LACP static trunking
group, the exceed ports is standby and able to aggregate if work ports
fail. If the group is a local static trunking group, the number must be the
same as group ports.

4. Select the ports to join the trunking group.

5. If LACP is enabled, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status for
each port.

6. Click Apply.

61

5-4-5-2. Aggregator Information

The LACP Aggregator relation information is displayed as shown.

5-4-5-3. State Activity

Active (select): The active port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.
Passive (no select): The passive port does not automatically send LACP

protocol packets, but responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets
from the other device.

A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform
dynamic LACP trunking. A link that has two passive LACP ports will not
perform dynamic LACP trunking because both ports are waiting for an
LACP protocol packet from the opposite device.

If the port has active LACP’s, and you select the trunking port, the active
status will be created automatically.

62

5-4-6. Filter Database 5-4-6-1. IGMP Snooping

The switch supports IP multicasting. You can enable IGMP via the web
management’s configuration screen. In addition, you can view difference
multicast groups, VIDs and member ports, and IP multicast addresses that
range from 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255.

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of
the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. IP manages multicast traffic by using
switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows the
ports to detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast
traffic through the switch. IGMP has three fundamental types of message as
follows:

Message Description

Query

Report

Leave

Group

A message sent from the queryer (IGMP router or switch) asking for a
response from each host belonging to the multicast group.
A message sent by a host to the queryer to indicate that the host wants to be
or is a member of a given group indicated in the report message.
A message sent by a host to the queryer to indicate that the host has quit a
specific multicast group.

63

5-4-6-2. Static MAC Address

When a static MAC address is added, it remains in the switch's address
table, regardless of whether or not the device is physically connected to the
switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC
address when the device is disconnected or powered-off.

To add a static MAC address:

1. Click on Administrator on the main menu.

2. Click on Filter Database.

3. Click Static MAC Addresses. In the MAC address box, enter the MAC
address to and from which the port should permanently forward traffic,
regardless of the device's network activity.

4. In the Port Number box, select a port number.

5. If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, static
addresses are associated with individual VLANs. Type the VID (tag­based VLANs) to associate with the MAC address.

6. Click Add.

64

5-4-6-3. Port Security

A port in security mode will be “locked” with address learning blocked. Only
the incoming packets with SMAC already existing in the address table can
be forwarded normally. The user can disable the port from learning any new
MAC addresses, then use the static MAC addresses screen to define a list
of MAC addresses that can use the secure port. Enter the settings, and
then click Submit to apply the changes on this page.

65

5-4-7. VLAN Configuration

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast
domain. It allows you to isolate network traffic so only members of the
VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a
VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent to reconnecting a group of
network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network
devices are still plugged into the same switch physically.
The MIL-SM801P, MIL-SM801G, and MIL-SM800P switch series support
port-based and protocol-based VLANs. In the default configuration, VLAN
support is enabled and all ports on the switch belong to the default VLAN.
VID is 1.

NOTE: The default VLAN can’t be deleted.

Support Port-based VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)

The IEEE 802.1Q specification is the standard for Port-based Tagging.
Therefore, it is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different
switch suppliers. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into
the Ethernet frames. The tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates
the VLAN numbers.

Support Protocol-based VLAN

In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it has to be
either capable of tagging the packets it sends with VLAN tags OR be
attached to a VLAN-aware bridge. The VLAN-aware bridge must be
capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID. The
classification and tagging of the packets is based on default PVID and other
information about the packet, such as the protocol.

66

5-4-7-1. Basic

VLAN Configuration

By default, there are no VLANs set for the switch. In order to configure any of the
different types of VLANs, VLANs need to be enabled in the switch using
Settings/Advanced/Protocol Enable Settings/VLAN Operational Mode. The
following are the choices offered:

Port Based VLANs

This screen shows the current Port Based VLANs configured. To configure new
VLANs click the Add button. You can also delete configured VLANs using this
screen. To edit a VLAN (change the ports) highlight the VLAN name and then
click Edit. There can be up to 256 different port based VLANs configured.

When adding a VLAN this screen allows the configuration of the VLAN. The
configuration includes the number of ports, the text name and the Group ID that
will belong to the specific VLAN. These VLANs only apply to this switch. The
VLANs can be overlapping, meaning that any port can belong to more than one
VLAN. One configuration that is common for port based VLANs is to have all the
ports on the switch on separate VLANs except for the port that has the server
connected to it. This port is then shared by all the VLANs. This enables security
between ports, but allows all ports access to the server.

67

Create a VLAN and add tagged member ports.

1. From the main menu, click Administrator -- VLAN configuration.

2. Click Add.

3. Type a name for the new VLAN.

4. Type a VID (between 2-4094). The default is 1.

5. From the Available ports box, select ports to add to the switch and click

Add.

6. Click Apply.

68

5-4-7-2. Port VID

Configure port VID settings
From the main Tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN page, click Port VID
Settings.

Port VID (PVID)

Used for setting the Port VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged traffic
on a given port. For example, if port 9's Default PVID is 100, all untagged
packets on port 9 will belong to VLAN 100. The default setting for all ports is
VID 1.
This feature is useful for accommodating devices that you want to
participate in the VLAN but that don't support tagging. Only one untagged
VLAN is allowed per port.

Ingress Filtering

Ingress filtering lets frames belonging to a specific VLAN be forwarded if the
port belongs to that VLAN. The frames are dropped if not. The switch’s two
ingress filtering rules are:
Ingress Filtering Rule 1: Forwards only packets with VID matching this
port’s configured VID. By default, only packets with this VID are forwarded.
Ingress Filtering Rule 2: Drop Untagged Frame. By default all untagged
frames are forwarded.

69

5-4-8. Set Spanning Tree

The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D)
for avoiding loops in switched networks. When STP is enabled it ensures
that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the
network.

Spanning-Tree Protocol can be enabled using web management’s switch
setting advanced item, and selecting enable Spanning-Tree protocol. By
default, spanning tree is disabled on the switch.

Description

Priority

The priority value used to identify the root bridge can be changed. The bridge with
the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the root. Enter a number 1
through 65535.

Max Age

Max Age value is the number of seconds a bridge waits without receiving Spanning­Tree Protocol configuration messages before attempting a reconfiguration. It can be
changed from 6 seconds through 40 seconds.

Hello Time

The Hello Time value is the number of seconds between the transmission of
Spanning-Tree Protocol configuration messages. It can be modified. 1 second
through 10 seconds are permissible values.

Forward Delay time

You can change Forward Delay Time, which is the number of seconds a port waits
before changing from its Spanning-Tree Protocol learning and listening states to the
forwarding state. Enter a number 4 through 30.

70

Information about the current spanning tree status is displayed in this table.

The priority and path cost can be configured for each port. Click the Apply button
to modify the configuration.

Description

Port Priority

A change to the Port Priority affects which port will be the root port. The lowest
number has the highest priority. The range is 0-255 and the default setting for all
ports is 128. If you change the value, you must reboot the switch.

Path Cost

Path Cost specifies the path cost of the port that the switch uses to determine
which ports are the forwarding ports. The lowest number becomes the
forwarding port. The range is 1-65535 and the default value is based on
IEEE802.1D
10Mb/s = 50-600 100Mb/s = 10-60
If you change the value, you must reboot the switch.

71

5-4-9. Port Mirroring

The Port Mirroring feature can monitor traffic in switched networks. Traffic
transmitted or received on monitored ports (source ports) will be duplicated
to a destination port or mirror port.

Analysis State: Enables or disables the port mirroring function.
Mirror Ports: The ports you want to mirror. All source port traffic will be

copied to a mirror port. You can select a maximum of 8 source ports in the
switch. If you want to disable the function, you must select monitor port to
none.

Monitor Rx: Monitors received frames from the port.
Monitor Tx: Monitors transmitted frames from the port.

72

5-4-10. SNMP

SNMP is a protocol that governs the transfer of information between
management and agent. The switch supports SNMP V1. Any Network
Management station running the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) can manage the switch provided that the Management Information
Base (MIB) is installed.

Use this menu to define management stations as trap managers and to
enter SNMP community strings. Users can also define community strings
for a name, location, and contact person for the switch.

Troubleshooting

This section is intended to help you solve some common problems
encountered while using the MIL-SM801P, MIL-SMS801G, and MIL­SM800P switch series.

Incorrect connections

 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 miswired cables may cause numerous network
collisions and other network problems. This can seriously impair
network performance. A category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool
for every network installation.

 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,
any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely
impact your network performance.

there should be only one active cabling path at

Diagnostic 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 power outlet or power cord. However, if
the switch powers off after running for awhile, 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: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for
10Mbps connections or 100Ω Category 5 cable for 100Mbps
connections. Be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection
does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

100BASE-FX fiber port: Multi-mode fiber connector types must use
50/125 or 62.5/125 µm multi-mode fiber cable. Two devices may be
connected over a 2 kilometer distance. Single-mode fiber connector
types must use 9/125 µm single-mode fiber cable. Two devices may be
connected over a15 to 60 kilometer distance in full duplex operation in
single-mode.

1000BASE-SX fiber port: Multi-mode fiber connector types must use
50/125 µm multi-mode fiber cable for 500 meters or 62.5/125 µm multi-

mode fiber cable for 220 meters. Two devices may be connected over
220m to 500m distances.
