Figure 2-2. Rear Panel

2-3 Module LED Indicators

All LED status indicators are located on the FRONT panel of the switches. They provide a real-time indication of system and operational status. The ports for connections to other devices and networks are also on the front panels. The following sections provide descriptions of the LED indicators and ports.

2-4 Dual Power LEDs

There are four LEDs located on the front panel of the Switch. The LEDs are to indicate dual power supply status (Good or Fail ).

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 use an 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 hub from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power adapter.

3-6-3 Installing Optional Modules

You can purchase optional 8 modules separately to meet the needs of your network. The process of installing optional modules is the same.

Follow these steps to install the optional module:

1. Power the Switch off before installing the optional module.

Gigabit Chassis Switch

2. Place the Switch on a flat surface. Grasp the thumbscrew on the sides of the optional module or blank bracket and turn counter- clockwise to unscrew them. You can also use a screwdriver. Remove the old module or the blank bracket and set aside. Do not discard the module or blank bracket. Put the module or blank bracket back in if you remove the new module.

3. Install the new module by inserting it into the guides and sliding it in until it stops ( See Figure 3-12 ). Press it firmly until you feel the module snap into place. Never force, twist or bend the optional module. The optional module slides in smoothly.

4. Gently push the thumbscrews in and turn clockwise to tighten. Do not over tighten the thumbscrews.

5. Power the Switch on after you have installed the new

module. The Switch will auto detect the new module.

Figure 3-12. Insert the modules

6. Take off the dust cover from the transceiver and plug the cable in, if you are installing a fiber optic or gigabit module.

7. Check the LEDs to verify that if there is a link and a

Chapter 4. Installation

This chapter provides the installation procedure of the Switch, and it contains the following items:

n Pre-installation requirements n Mounting the switch

4-1 Pre-Installation Requirements

Before you start hardware installation, make sure your installation environment has below items:

n PCs with 10/100Mbps Ethernet cards: Your PC must have a

standard Ethernet interface to connect to the switch.

n A power outlet: 100 to 240V AC at 50 to 60 Hz. Make sure

that the switch power is accessible and cables can be connected easily.

n A dry cool place: Keep the switch away from moisture. Avoid

direct sunlight, heat source, and high amount of electromagnetic interference around.

n Mounting tools: If you intend to mount the switch on a rack,

make sure you have all the tools, mounting brackets, screws, bolts and nuts.

FGSW-008 User's Manual

Cabling must be away from sources of electrical

radio, computers, transmitters,

broadband amplifiers, power lines and keep away

Air flow around the switch and through its vents

Cauti on:

on the rear cannot be restricted.

4-2 Mounting the Switch

The Switch is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be rack-mounted in standard EIA 19-inch racks or standalone.

4-3 Desktop Mounting

1. Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby, and about the center of all networked devices.

2. Apply the rubber foot pads to each corner on the bottom of the switch. These pads cushion the switch against shock / vibrations.

Caution

Do not place objects on top of the switch.

4-4 Rack Mounting

To stack multiple switches in a standard 19-inch EIA rack, use the supplied mounting kit. This kit contains 2 side-mounting brackets,

Gigabit Chassis Switch

10 bracket screws, and 4 larger rack-mount screws.

Use a screwdriver to turn the screws on them to secure the racks into the stacking holes.

Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch:

1. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the switch.

Figure 4-1: Attaching Mounting Brackets

2. After attached both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the supplied rack-mount screws.

FGSW-008 User's Manual

Figure 4-2: Rack Mount the Switch

For proper ventilation, allow about 6 inches of

back of the

Switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack

Note:

clearance on the front and 6 inches on the

installations.

Apply the procedures to stack more RFS switches. To remove a rack, use a screwdriver for loosening all the screws on the rack and the stacking brackets from the body.

4-5 Power On

After all network cables are connected, plug the power cord into the power socket on the back panel and the other end into a power outlet. Turn the power on using the power switch on the back panel.

Check the front panel Power indicator to see if power is properly supplied. The switch uses a universal power supply that requires no additional adjustment.

Gigabit Chassis Switch

Chapter 5. Planning Your Network

This chapter provides you a few sample network topologies in which the Switch is implemented:

n Modularized Switch Application n Backbone Switch Application n Departmental Bridge Application

Using a switch, such as a Switch, can expand network topology and enhance network performance.

Each port on a switch connects to a separate network with its own collision domain. Separating networks with this Switch allows you to expand 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX networks.

The Switch also filters incoming traffic. On standard hubs and repeaters, any data received on a port is forwarded to all of the other ports. On switches, data received on one port is forwarded only to the port of the destination device, and if the traffic is local, the data is not forward at all. Also, switch can forward multiple data transaction at once.

To expand your network topology or enhance network performance, you can use the Switch as collapsed backbone or to increase file server performance, to be segment large network, or to interconnect Gigabit network.

FGSW-008 User's Manual

5-1 Modularized Switch Application

In general, the Switch is designed to be a modularized switch. The Switch can contain different kinds of connecting ports including RJ-45, SC/ST /MT-RJ /VF-45 fiber port, SX/LX Gigabit fiber port. These ports enable the flexibility of your network configuration. You can use the switch to connect PCs, workstations, and servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the switch.

Figure 5-1. Modularized Switch Application

Gigabit Chassis Switch

5-2 Backbone Switch Application

Traditionally, bridges and routers have been used to link local area network (LAN) into one interconnected network. But these devices involve long traffic delays. One or more of your 100Mbps or gigabit ports can be used as a high-speed backbone link.

The Switch is ideally suited as a workgroup switch in a network. With a Gigabit Fiber Module, for example, installed in the Switch, the entire switched topology could be connected to server as a backbone switch.

FGSW-008 User's Manual

Figure 5-2. Backbone Switch Application

5-3 Departmental Bridge Application

Connecting the server to the 100Mbps port allows a large of users to access the server without causing network congestion.

That is, with its large address table (12K MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting network segments

-simply connect the network hubs that from those segments to the

Switch.
