2. Installation
This section describes the functionalities of the Fast Ethernet Switch’s components
and guides how to install it on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is
assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
In the following section, the term “Switch” means the three Switches, i.e. FSD-503,
FSD-803 and FSD-1603; term of “switch” can be any third part switches.
2.1 Product Description
The PLANET FSD-503 /FSD-803 and FDS-1603 are 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
Switches in a compact housing for easily desktop placement. With 5/8/16 ports
respectively and it’s Auto-negotiation capability, all the RJ-45 ports can be
congured to speeds of 10/20Mbps or 100/200Mbps automatically; With increasing
bandwidth requirements for local area networks, the Switch provide non-blocking
wire-speed performance and 1/1.6/32Gbps internal switching fabric, it is the ideal
option to alleviate bottlenecks in client/ server and peer-to-peer environments in a
cost-effective way.
All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed
detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. Support is standard for Auto-
MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without
requiring special straight or crossover cables.
The Flow Control function allows your Fast Ethernet Switch supported routers and
servers to directly connect to this Switch for fast, reliable data transfer.
2.1.1 Product Overview
PLANET FSD-503/FSD-803 and FDS-1603 are 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch,
with 5/8/16 RJ-45 10/100Mbps ports for cost effective high-performance network
connectivity. With its 1/1.6/32Gbps non-blocking switch fabric, the Switch can
also provide a local, high bandwidth. The Switch also supports Store-and-Forward
forwarding scheme to ensure low latency and high data integrity, eliminates
unnecessary trafc and relieves congestion on critical network paths. With an
intelligent address recognition algorithm, the Switch could recognize up to 1K/2K/
8K different MAC address and enables ltering and forwarding at full wire speed.

2.2 Installing the Switch
This part describes how to install your Fast Ethernet Switch and make connections
to it. Please read the following topics and perform the procedures in the order
being presented.
This Switch does not need software configuration.

servers, workstations or routers…etc.
Connection to the Switch requires UTP Category 5 network
cabling with RJ-45 tips. For more information, please see the
Cabling Specification in Appendix A.

Step 5: Supply power to the Switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the Switch.
B. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to a standard wall outlet.
When the Switch receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.

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 ltering 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 forward this packet to the
port where 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 ltered. 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 efciency 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
14
servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability.
However, the Switch is most commonly used to segment existing hubs, which
nearly always improves overall performance. An Ethernet Switching can be easily
congured in any Ethernet network environment to signicantly 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 lter packets whose
destination address is on the same segment as the source address. This connes
network trafc to its respective domain, reducing the overall load on the network.
The Switch performs “Store and Forward" therefore, no error packets
c
cur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.
o
3.5 Auto-Negotiation
The STP 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 modes and speeds at the second of both device is connected and capable of,
both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices can connect with the port in either Half-
or Full-Duplex mode. For non auto-negotiation devices, the Switch will only run in
Half-duplex mode.
