2.2.1 Ports Speed
n 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, then turn on the switch.
The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps,
100Mbps or 200Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.
2.2.2 Cabling
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 A)

2.2.3 Auto-MDI/MDI-X
Each numbered port of FNSW-3200 is MDI/MDI-X port.
Which automatically detects straight-through/ crossover cable types. You can direct use straight cable for the connection
to your workstation or other end nodes. Either straight or
cross-over cable can be used to connect switch, hub or end
nodes without any hassle.

2.3.1 Power Connector
The Power Connector is designed to be use with the power cord
included in the product package. Attach the female end of the
cord to the power connector and the male end of the cord to a
grounded power outlet. The accepted power range is from
100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60Hz.
100-240V AC

Note:
The Switch is a power-required device, it means, the
Switch will not work until it is powered. If your networked
PCs will need to transmit data all the time, please consider use an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your
Switch. It will prevent you from network data loss.
In some area, installing a surge suppression device may
also help to protect your Switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power
adapter.

3. INSTALLATION
The Switch do NOT require software configuration. Users can
immediately use any of the features of this product simply by
attaching the cables and turning on the power.
To get the best use of these Switch models, many things need
to be considered first. See Section 4. OPTIMIZING
CONFIGURATION for details.
3.1 Rack-Mount Installation
Most users prefer to attach the power cord to the hub before
installation in a network rack. Do not plug the other end of the
cord into a power outlet until after the hub is installed.
For mounting the Switch in a network rack, first attach the
rack-mount brackets to the side of the hub with screws. (Both
brackets and screws are included in the product package.) Slide
the hub into the rack and align the holes in the bracket with the
corresponding holes in the network rack. Attach the bracket to
the rack with the enclosed screws.
3.2 Desktop Installation
To locate the Switch on a desktop, first attach the four rubber
feet to the bottom of the hub, one in each corner. Place the hub
on a clean, flat desk or tabletop close to a power outlet. Make
sure there is no hindrance behind the fan of the hub
Plug in all network connections, and then turn the switch on via
plug in the power cord.

4. OPTIMIZING CONFIGURATION
4.1 Prior to Installation
Before installing the Switch models and connecting network
devices, it is important to plan the new network layout. Consider:
w Dedicated Bandwidth: File servers and other
high-traffic hardware can improve if they have their own
direct connection with dedicated 10 or 100Mbps bandwidth.
w Full-Duplex: Determine which devices would benefit
from a Full Duplex connection and check that they
support it.
w Fast Ethernet: 100Base-TX and 100Base-FX have
different rules for cable and distance. Make sure these
are followed.
w
Auto-Negotiation:
be easily swapped when the other end of the cable is
fixed to a port with auto-negotiation.
4.2 Half- and Full-Duplex
The Switch supports both Half- and Full-Duplex modes for
10Base-T and 100Base-TX. Half-Duplex mode is the traditional
data transfer mode: one station sends data while other devices
wait for the first to finish.
Full-Duplex is the simultaneous transmission and receiving of
data. It is only possible between two devices with a dedicated
link (e.g., switch-to-switch, switch-to-PC). Both of the devices
must be capable of, and set to, Full-Duplex.
100Base-TX ports use auto-negotiation to detect and set the
line's operating mode.
Devices with different speeds may

4.3 Fast Ethernet
100Base-TX and 100Base-FX are called "Fast Ethernet." This
is because they use the Ethernet CSMA/CD access rules and
data packet structure, but data travels ten times faster
(100Mbps) than traditional 10Mbps Ethernet.

by Switch for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX.

4.4 Auto-Negotiation
The 100Base-TX ports on the 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). This is
done by detect the mode and speed at the second device is
capable of. The 100Base-TX devices can connect with the
100Base-TX port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode.
If attached device is: 100Base-TX port will set to:
100Mbps, no auto-negotiation 100Mbps
100Mbps, with auto-negotiation 200Mbps
10Mbps, no auto-negotiation 10Mbps
10Mbps, with auto-negotiation 20Mbps

4.5 MAC Address Table
This 6-byte ID is called the MAC (Media Access Control) Address. Every Ethernet data packet includes both source and
destination addresses.
These Switch models can automatically learn and store up to 4K
MAC addresses. The MAC address table is volatile: it disappears when the switch is powered off or reset.
Note: When the network needs reconfiguration, we
recommend turning off the power first. After all
nodes have been moved, power on the switch to
rebuild the internal MAC address table.

4.6 Sample Application
The optimal application for the Switch, no matter with the extension module or not, is as a "big pipe" backbone
interconnecting file servers with bandwidth-hungry workgroups,
departments, and offices.
In the figure, the FNSW-3200 links to another hub‘s Uplink
(MDI-II) port, some ports connect to 100Mbps Workstations,
and attached to file servers at 200Mbps.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If
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.
Some stations can not talk to other stations located on The
other port
Solution:
The address table may contain older information than of the
address table of that node. Please power down to refresh
the address information.
Performance is bad
Solution:
Check the full duplex status of the Ethernet Switch. If the
Ethernet Switch is set to full duplex and the partner is set to
half duplex, then the performance will be poor.

7. RJ-45 PIN ASSIGNMENT
When connecting your FNSW-3200 10/100Mbps Ethernet
Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or
crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch supports
auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you can directly connect the Switch to any Ethernet devices without making a
crossover cable.
The following table and diagram show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/ connector and their pin assignments:
