1.2 About the Switch

The Ethernet Switch is equipped with unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable ports providing dedicated 10
or 100Mbps bandwidth. WGSD-1020 supports MDI-X/ MDI convertible on each 10/100 port and 2 Gi­gabit Switch port that can be used for uplinking to another switch. The dual speed ports use standard
twisted-pair cabling and are ideal for segmenting networks into small, connected sub-networks. Each
100M port can support up to 200Mbps of throughput in full-duplex mode. Each 1000M port can support
up to 2Gbps in Full-duplex mode.

In addition, the Switch is also support 2 Ethernet Gigabit ports to uplink to a server or network backbone.
These Gigabit Switches are designed for Plug and Play installation, allows the network administrator to
simply connect the network and power cables and the Switching/bridging functions begin automatically.

The front panel of these 10/100M plus Gigabit Switches provides LEDs for easy recognition of the switch
operation status and for troubleshooting. These LED indicators display the power status for the system
and Link/Act, 100, for each10/100M port. Link/Act, 1000/100, full-duplex for each Gigabit port.

With its build-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring the WGSD-1020 Intelligent Switch
becomes easier.

From cabinet management to port-level control and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage
your network via Web Browser, just click your mouse instead of typing cryptic command strings. How­ever, the WGSD-1020 Intelligent Switch can also be managed via Console, or third-party SNMP

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 switch from being
damaged by unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power adapter.

2.3 Hardware Installation

2.3.1 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, then turn on the Switch. The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or
200Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.

1000Base-T

The Switch are with two Gigabit port. This two ports support 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps speed
and also are full-duplex supported.

Cabling

Each 10/100/1000Base-T ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of un­shielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard requires 4-pair Category
5/5e UTP cable, 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
1000Base-T Cat. 5/5e UTP, 4-pair RJ-45

Any Ethernet devices like hubs/ PCs can connect to the Switch by using straight-through wires. The eight
10/100Mbps port and two 1000Base-T are auto-MDI/ MDI-X can be used on straight-through or
crossover cable.

2.3.2 Connecting end node or hub or switch

1. Place the Switch on a smooth surface or fasten the mounting brackets purchased separately with

the provided screws in a standard 10”/19” rack.

2. Connect the power cord to the power inlet socket of Switch and the other end into the local power

source outlet.

3. Connect other switch or PC to one port of the WGSD-1020 using Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP cabling.

4. Connect another switch or PC to the other port of Switch by following the same process as described

in Step3.

- 5 -

Figure 3. End node or Hub or Switch connection

Notice:

Cable distance for Switch

The cable distance between Ethernet Switch and hub/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 and 1000Mbps, you must use an Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Category 5 cable, or
better Data Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cable may initially seem to work, it will soon
cause data loss.

2.3.3 Connecting to Network Backbone or Server

Connect to the Gigabit Ethernet ports with Category 5 copper cable for uplinking to a network
backbone or network server. These ports operate at 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode. A valid con­nection is indicated when the Link LED is light.

3. SWITCH MANAGEMENT

This chapter describes how to manage the Switch. Topics include:

- Overview

- Management methods

- Assigning an IP address to the Switch

- Logging on to the Switch

3.1 Overview

The Switch provides a user-friendly, menu driven console interface. Using this interface, you can per­form various switch configuration and management activities, including:

- Assigning an IP address

- Configuring Switch settings

- Display console port information

- Configuring each port status

- Configuring Port Trunking

- Setting up packet filters

- Setting up VLAN policy

- Configuring STP and port sniffer

- Configuring SNMP parameters

- TFTP Upgrading software

- Backup Switch configuration

Please refer to the following or Chapter 4 and 5 for the details.

3.2 Management Methods

There are three ways to manage the Switch:

- Local Console Management via the Switch serial port.

- Remote Console Management via a network or dial-up connection.

- Web Management via a network or dial-up connection.

- Using an SNMP Network Management Station.

3.2.1 Local Console Management

You can manage the Switch locally by connecting a VT100 terminal, or a personal computer or
workstation with terminal emulation software, to the Switch serial port. The terminal or workstation
connects to the Switch serial port using a null modem cable that has the appropriate connectors on
each end.

This management method is ideal when:

- The network is unreliable

- The Network Manager does not have direct network connection

- A Network Manager does not support SNMP
The serial port of the Switch default setting is set to 9600 baud using a character format of 8 data bits,

no parity, and 1 stop bit.
Therefore, configure the terminal or workstation to use these settings before you log on to the Switch.

You can change this default setting, if desired, after you log on.

- 7 -

3.2.2 Remote Console Management

You can manage the Switch remotely by having a remote host establish a Telnet connection to the
Switch via an Ethernet or modem link.

Using this management method:
The Switch must have an Internet Protocol (IP) address
The Remote Console Management interface is identical in appearance and functionality to the Local

Console Management interface described in the previous section.

3.2.3 Web Management

You can manage the Switch remotely by having a remote host with web browser, such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

Using this management method:
The Switch must have an Internet Protocol (IP) address accessible for the remote host

3.2.4 SNMP Management

You can manage the Switch across a LAN using an SNMP Network Management Station with a
graphical user interface.

This management method lets you monitor statistical counters and set switch parameters from the
remote Network Management Station.

Using this management method:

- The network must run the IP protocol.

- The Switch must have an IP address

3.3 Assigning an IP Address to the Switch

To manage the Switch remotely through the console port or with an SNMP Management Station, you
must assign an IP address to the Switch.

You assign IP address through the IP Settings screen. This procedure is described in Chapter 4, Section
IP Networking. It is strongly recommends you assign an IP address to the default VLAN (VLAN ID = 1) for
Remote Console Management and SNMP Network Management.

3.4 Logging on to the Switch

When you log on to the Switch console port for the first time, a sign-on string appears and you are
prompted for a console login name and password.

5.4.7 VLAN Configuration

A Virtual LAN ( VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows you to

isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members.

Basically, creating a VLAN from WGSD-1020 is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of net-

work device to another Layer 2 Switch. However, the entire network device is still plug into the same
Switch physically.

WGSD-1020 support port-based(refer to section 5.4.7.1) and protocol-based VLAN (refer to section

5.4.7.2) in web management page. In the default configuration VLAN is enable and all ports belong to
the default VLAN ( VID=1).

5.4.7.1 Port-based VLANs ( IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)

Port-based Tagging rule VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q standard. Therefore, it’s possible to create a VLAN
across devices from different Switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN use a technique to insert a ” Tag”
into the Ethernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.

Note: You can disable/enable VLAN function and choose VLAN operation Mode from Switch Set-
tings.

Figure 5-27 WGSD-1020 Tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN Web Page screen

5.4.7.2 Port VID

In order for an end station send packets to different VLANs. Itself has to be either capable of tagging

packets it sends with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware bridge that is capable of classifying

and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID based on default PVID and other packet information.

Figure 5-29 WGSD-1020 Port VID setting Web Page screen

Please check the detail description of parameters as below:

1. From the main Tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN page, click “Port VID Settings”.

2. Port VID( PVID):

Sets the port VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged traffic on a given port. For example, if port 10’s
default PVID is 100, all untagged packets on port 10 will belong to VLAN 100. The default setting for all
port is VID 1. This feature is useful for accommodating device that you want to participate in the VLAN
does not support VLAN tagging. Only one untagged VLAN is allowed per port.

3. Ingress Filtering:

Ingress filtering lets frames belonging to a specific VLAN to be forwarded if the port belongs to that
VLAN.

Please note there are two ingress filtering rule as follows:

Ingress filtering rule 1: forward only packets with VID matching per port’s configured VID.
Ingress filtering rule 2: drop untagged frames.

6. SWITCH OPERATION

6.1 Address Table

The Giga 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.

6.2 Learning

When one packet comes in from any port. The Giga 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.

6.3 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 filtered. Thereby increasing the network throughput and availability

6.4 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 switch is most commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always
improves overall performance. A 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 Giga Switch performs "Store and forward" therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it re­duces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.

6.5 Auto-Negotiation

The STP ports on the WGSD-1020 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 detecting 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. 1000Base-T can only be connected in Full-duplex mode.

7.TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If Giga 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 Giga Switch

Some stations can not talk to other stations located on the other port

Solution:

Please check the VLAN, port trunking and Port Sniffer function which may introduce this kind of problem..

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.
