2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

This product provides two different running speeds – 10Mbps, 100Mbps in the same switch and automatically distinguishes
the speed of incoming connection.

This section describes the hardware features of FSD-804P. For easier management and control of the Switch, familiarize
yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before
connecting any network device to the FSD-804P, please read this chapter carefully.

2.1 Product Description

The FSD-804P is equipped with unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable ports providing dedicated 10 or 100Mbps bandwidth.
The FSD-804P supports MDI/ MDI-X convertible on 8-10/100Mbps ports, also provide PoE inject function on port#1, 2, 3,
4, which is able to drive 4 IEEE 802.3af compliant powered devices. The dual speed ports use standard twisted-pair cabling
and are ideal for SOHO or segmenting networks into small. Each 10/100Mbps port can supports up to 200Mbps of
throughput in full-duplex mode, the FSD-804P also provides a simple, cost-effective, and highly reliable network connec­tion for data as well as power. Furthermore, it is the ideal device for bridging among Ethernet, Fast Ethernet workgroups
and networks.

With 4 PoE interfaces, the FSD-804P is ideal for small business and workgroups requiring to deploy the PoE for the
wireless access points, IP-based surveillance camera or IP phones in any places easily, efficiently and cost effective.

The front panel of FSD-804P provides LEDs for easy recognition of the switch operation status and troubleshooting. These
LED indicators display the power status for the system, LNK/ACT and speed for each10/100M port. Also the PoE in use
LED indicates for PoE ports (port#1 to port#4).

With data and power over Ethernet from one unit, the FSD-804P shall reduce cables and eliminates the need for dedicated
electrical outlets on the wall, ceiling or any unreachable place. A wire carries both data and power low ering the installation
costs, simplifying the installation effort and eliminating the need for electricians or extension cords. We are also proud of
the key feature – energy saving. With more efficient switching power supply , the efficiency of the FSD-804P would be much
better than four linear power adapters in a long run.

Power Notice:

1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should active all the
time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data
loss or network downtime.

2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your FSD-804P from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the FSD-804P or the power adapter.

2.4 Hardware Installation

2.4.1 Before start up

Before your installation, please refer to the followings for your cabling:

100Base-TX

All 100Base-TX ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the 100Base-TX ports, and then turn on the
FSD-804P. The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps after the negotiation with the
connected device.

Cabling

Each 10/100Base-TX ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair
cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T
networks can use Cat.3, 4, or 5 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100meters (328 feet).

Port Type Cable Type Connector

10Base-T Cat 3, 4, 5, 2-pair RJ-45
100Base-TX Cat.5 UTP, 2-pair RJ-45

Any Ethernet devices like hubs/ PCs can connect to the FSD-804P by using straight-through wires. The
eight-10/100Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X can be used on straight-through or crossover cable.

4. Connect another switch or PC to the other port of FSD-804P by following the same process as described in Step 3.

Figure 2-6. End node or Switch connection

#Notice:

Cable distance for Switch

The cable distance between the FSD-804P and PC should not exceed 100 meter for UTP/STP cable.

Make sure the wiring is correct

It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps operation. To reliably operate your network at 100Mbps, you
must use an Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Category 5 cable, or better Data Grade cabling. While a
Category 3 or 4 cables may initially seem to work, it will soon cause data loss.

3. SWITCH OPERATION

3.1 Address Table

The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to
store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes
from the learning process of Ethernet Switch.

3.2 Learning

When one packet comes in from any port. The Switch will record the source address, port no. And the other related
information in address table. This information will be used to decide either forwarding or filtering for future packets.

3.3 Forwarding & Filtering

When one packet comes from some port of the Ethernet Switching, it will also check the destination address besides
the source address learning. The Ethernet Switching will lookup the address-table for the destination address. If not
found, this packet will be forwarded to all the other ports except the port which this packet comes in. And these ports
will transmit this packet to the network it connected. If found, and the destination address is located at different port
from this packet comes in, the Ethernet Switching will forw ard this packet to the port w here this destination address is
located according to the information from address table. But, if the destination address is located at the same port with
this packet comes in, then this packet will be filtered. Thereby increasing the network throughput and availability.

3.4 Store-and-Forward

Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and Forward Ethernet Switching stores the
incoming frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission. Therefore, no error packets
occurrence, it is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability.

The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet-header, searches the routing table provided for
the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for
connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the sw itch is most
commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall performance. An Ethernet Switching
can be easily configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost bandwidth using conventional
cabling and adapters.

Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switching, the source address and corresponding port number of each
incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently used to filter packets
whose destination address is on the same segment as the source address. This confines network traffic to its re­spective domain, reducing the overall load on the network.

The Switch performs "Store and forward" therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the
re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.

3.5 Auto-Negotiation

The STP ports on the FSD-804P switch have built-in "Auto-negotiation". This technology automatically sets the best
possible bandwidth when a connection is established with another network device (usually at Power On or Reset).
Detecting the modes does this and speeds at the second of both devices are connected and capable of, both
10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices can connect with the port in either Half- or Full-duplex mode.

4.TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If the Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the
Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual.

The Link LED is not lit

Solution:

Check the cable connection and remove duplex mode of the Switch.

Performance is bad

Solution:

Check the full duplex status of the Switch. If the Ethernet Switch is set to full duplex and the partner is set to half
duplex, then the performance will be poor.

100Base-TX port link LED is lit, but the traffic is irregular

Solution:

Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full duplex. Some devices use a physical or software switch to
change duplex modes. Auto-negotiation may not recognize this type of full-duplex setting.

Why the Switch doesn’t connect to the network

Solution:

Check the LNK/ACT LED on the switch Try another port on the Switch Make sure the cable is installed properly Make
sure the cable is the right type Turn off the power. After a while, turn on power again.

Why I connect my PoE device to FSD-804P and it cannot power on?

Solution:

1. Please check the cable type of the connection from FSD-804(port 1 to port 4) to the other end.
The cable should be an 8-wire UTP, Category 5 or above, EIA568 cable within 100 meters. A
cable with only 4-wire, short loop or over 100 meters, all will affect the power supply.

2. Please check and assure the device that fully complied with IEEE 802.3af standard.
