1.10Mbps-Category 3, 4 or 5 TP cabling can be used for transmitting data at
10Mbps or 20Mbps on 10BASE-T networks.

2.100Mbps-Only Category 5 TP cabling can be used for transmitting data at
100Mbps or 200Mbps on 100BASE-TX networks.

Note:

Category 5 TP cable is also recommended whenever installing new cabling.

● Status LEDs

The LED indicators will help yo u monitor the status of each port and
connected segment. The functions of the LEDs indicators are described as

follows.

■ Front Panel

The front panel contains 16-port 10/100Mbps RJ-45.

● 10/100Mbps TP Ports

Each port has supported for an Auto-Negotiation function and an Auto­MDI/MDIX function that senses the attached device's maximum operating
bandwidth and automatically sets the connected port to operate at 10/100

Full-/Half-Duplex.

● Port Connectors

Each TP port uses RJ-45 connectors that allow network TP cables to be
quickly attached or removed.

■ Half- and Full-Duplex

This sixteen (16) ports N-Way Switch supports both Half- and Full-Duplex
modes for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX.

Half-Duplex: Data can not be transmitted and received at the same time.
Full-Duplex: Data can be transmitted and received at the same time.
Each port on this sixteen (16) port N-Way Switch can detect and set the

line's operating mode by using their Auto-Negotiation function.

■ Fast Ethernet

100BASE-TX is called "Fast Ethernet". In Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) data
travels ten times faster than in traditional Ethernet (10Mbps).

Below is a list of the cable types and connectors supported for 10BASE-T
and 100BASE-TX networks.

Note:

If your 10BASE-T network currently uses Category 5 TP cabling, you can
instantly upgrad e the network to a 100BASE-TX network by changing

network devices.

Product Specifications

■ Auto-Negotiation (N-Way)

Each TP port has a built-in Auto-Negotiation function. This technology
automatically sets the best possible bandwidth as soon as a connection is

established with another network device (usually at Power "On" or Reset).
Auto-Negotiation functions by detecting the modes and speeds the attached
device is capable of.

Upon network cable attachment, each TP port will instantly set to operate as
follows:

Note:

If the attached device is set to a Full-Duplex forced mode, it will not
connect to an Auto-Negotiation device.

■ MAC Address Table

Every Ethernet data packet includes both source and destination addresses.
This six (6)-Bytes ID is called the MAC (Media Access Control) Address.

This Switch can automatically learn and store up to 4K MAC addresses.
However, the MAC Address table is volatile: it disappears when the switch

is powered off or reset.

Note:

When the network needs reconfiguration, we recommend first turning "Off'
the power. After all nodes have been moved, reconnect the Switch back
"On" to rebuild the internal MAC address table.

■ 半雙工及全雙工
此交換器支援1 0 B A S E - T及1 0 0 B A S T - T X的半雙工及全雙工模

式。
1 .在半雙工模式下，同一時間資料只能傳或收。必須當一個

設備的傳輸動作停止時，才能收資料。

2.在全雙工模式下，同一時間資料可以同時傳收。

■ 高速乙太網路
1 0 0 B A S E - T X稱做「高速乙太網路」。高速乙太網路的資料傳
送速度( 1 0 0 M b p s )比傳統乙太網路的資料傳送速度( 1 0 M b p s )快
的十倍。

以下是網路埠型態與所支援網線標準的列表：

注意：
如果您在現行1 0 B A S E - T的網路環境下更換C a t . 5的網路線而
沒有更換網路的週邊設備，是無法立即升級到1 0 0 B A S E - T X
網路環境。

■ 自動偵測
每一個1 0 / 1 0 0 M b p s網路埠皆內建自動偵測功能。當交換器開

機時，此功可立即自動偵測網路線另一端設備速度並將之設
為最佳速度。

自動協商的功能運作如下：

注意：
如果另一端設備設定為強制全雙工(Forced Full-Duplex)模
式，則不會運作於自動偵測模式下。

■ 網路硬體位址表
每一個乙太網路資料封包皆包含來源與目的位址。此6位元組
的ID即稱為網路硬體位址表(MAC Address Table)。

交換器可自動學習及儲在網路硬體位址。然而當你將交換器
關機後，此網路硬體位址隨即消失。

注意：
當網路組態重新更換時，建議您將交換器關機後重開，這樣

才會重建網路硬體位址。
