Chapter 1. Introduction

1-1 About the Switch

Congratulations on purchasing the Chassis Switch FGSW-008. The Switch is a combination of 8 slot host cabinet which can optional a lot of kinds of media modules to fit your networking needs. A maximum 64X 10/100 Base-TX switched ports can be achieved using 8X 8 port 10/100Base-TX switch module.

By providing 8 G-Link bus interfaces in the base unit, the user has the freedom to arrange any module in any slot giving the ultimate in flexibility. Switch features store-and-forward switching scheme. Every module has its own 12K-entry MAC address to store source address. The backplane of the Switch can reach up to 19.2Gbps as to improving network performance.

Chapter 2. Hardware Description

This chapter mainly describes the hardware of the Switch:

2-1 Physical Description

The Switch is a modular unit, and its chassis contains 8 expansions. The LEDs are located on the front panel of the Switch to allow you to monitor the operation and performance at a glance.

The Physical Dimensions of the Switch are: 440mmX 266mmX 133mm (3U height)

2-2 Front & Rear Panel

The front panel of Switch displayed in Figure 2-1 is shown with 8-port 10/100Base-TX Modules, 100Base-FX Modules and Fiber Gigabit Modules.

The 3-pronged power plug and On/off switched are located at the Rear Panel of the Switch displayed in Figure 2-2. The Switch will work with AC in the range 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz.

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.

Chapter 3. Modules

This chapter contains the following topics:

n Optional Modules n Installing Optional Modules

3-1 Optional Modules

A module family consisting of either 8 x 10/100Base-TX ports; 1 x 1000Base-SX/LX port, 1 x 10/100/1000Base-T port, 2 x 100Base-FX ports; 4 x 100Base-FX ports, 8 x 100 Base-FX ports allows the user to choose modules which optimize network performance while reducing cost and complexity.

By providing 8 G-Link bus interfaces in the base unit, the user has the freedom to arrange any module in any slot giving the ultimate in flexibility. The integration of 10/100Mbps and 1000Mbps technology is now a simple matter of slotting in the desired module. By mixing different modules in the same cabinet, the user ensures network performance and budget requirements are easily met.
