INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the features of the 24-Port 10/100Mbps
Fast Ethernet Smart Switch and some background information
about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology.
Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity
of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high
performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN
technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth
and improve client/server response times. Among them,
100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth
evolution from the current 10BASE-T technology. The nondisruptive and smooth evolution nature, and the dominating
potential market base, virtually guarantee cost-effective and high
performance Fast Ethernet solutions.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3
LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet
standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps,
while maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is compatible with all other 10Mbps
Ethernet environments, it provides a straightforward upgrade and
takes advantage of the existing investment in hardware, software,
and personnel training.

Switching Technology
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet
technology is the development of switching technology. A switch
bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the
Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet LAN segments.
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network
capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch
increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a
local area network into different segments, which don’t compete
with each other for network transmission capacity.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the
individual segments. The switch, without interfering with any
other segments, automatically forwards traffic that needs to go
from one segment to another. By doing this the total network
capacity is multiplied, while still maintaining the same network
cabling and adapter cards.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the
previous generation of network bridges, which were
characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to
segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup
and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical.
Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area
network congestion problems.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by
their physical location and can communicate as if a common
4
Page 11
broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is
to reduce latency and need for routers, using faster switching
instead. Other VLAN utility include:
Security
Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in
eavesdropping on a broadcast network because data will be
switched to only those confidential users within the VLAN.
Cost Reduction
VLAN can be used to create multiple broadcast domains, thus
eliminating the need of expensive routers.
Port-based (or port-group) VLAN is the common method of
implementing a VLAN, and is the one supplied in the Switch.
Each Switch port can belong from one to twenty four VLANs.

Connecting Network Cable
The Switch supports 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
and it runs both in half and full duplex mode.
These ports are Auto-MDIX type port. The Switch can auto
transform to MDI-II or MDI-X type, so you can make a
connection using a standard or crossover cable.

Page 16
AC Power
The Switch requires AC power supply of 100~240V AC, 50~60
Hz. The Switch does not come with a Power ON/OFF switch, so
the Switch will automatically power on when it is connected to
an electrical outlet. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the
local power source automatically and may be turned on without
having any LAN segment cables connected.
IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED
indicators of the Switch.

CONFIGURATION
This Switch is a “smart” Switch. The programmable
administration parameters allow the Switch to operate more
effectively than unmanaged (dumb) switches. This chapter will
describe how to configure the Switch.
Console Port (RS-232 DCE)
The console configuration requires connecting a Workstation or a
PC running a terminal emulation program (such as
HyperTerminal, which comes with Microsoft Windows) to the
RS-232 DCE console port of the Switch.
Below is the console port configuration:
Baud rate: 9,600
Data width: 8 bits
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Make sure the terminal or PC you are using to make this
connection is configured to match these settings.
Configuring the Switch
The 24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch has a
menu-driven console interface. The Switch can be configured

18
Page 25
Figure 13. Port Configuration
(1) Speed
There are five speed modes— Auto, 100M Full, 100M Half,
10M Full, and 10M Half. To change the speed setting, highlight
Port, enter the port number and hit Enter, and the cursor will
move to the next field Speed. Hit Space Bar to select one of the
speed options. Hit Enter to select the desired speed and the
cursor will move to Flow Control option.
(2) Flow Control
This setting determines whether or not the Switch will be
handling flow control. To change the flow control setting, select
the Port number, highlight the FlowCtrl field, and hit Space Bar
to select ON or OFF. Set FlowCtrl to ON to avoid data transfer
overflow.
(3) QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) is a networking term that specifies a
guaranteed throughput level. When data packets with QoS
priority information pass through QoS supported device, these
packets will be handled with priority. Without certain level of
QoS, multimedia applications such as Streaming Video and
Network Conference can be sluggish or stopped due to network
congestions.
This Switch supports IEEE 802.1p QoS Tagging and Port-Based
QoS. It exams each packet for IEEE 802.1p priority tag, if the tag
value is higher than 3, the packet has high priority; otherwise, the
packet has low priority. If the packet has no priority tag, it will
19
Page 26
handle the packet according to the priority code (high or low) of
the port.
Note: IEEE 802.1p Priority Tag supersedes the Port-Based
Priority setting. For example, if Port 1 is set to low priority, but
the packet coming in this port has high priority tag, the Switch
will consider the packet as high priority packet.
The default settings for all ports’ QoS are High. To change the
Port-Based QoS setting, select the Port number, highlight the
QoS field, and hit Space Bar to select High or Low.
QoS Example: The computers connect to Switch’s Port 1 ~ 5 do
Video Conferencing regularly. To ensure video/voice streaming
quality between these 5 Users, you can set Port 1 ~ 5 QoS to
High and set the rest of the ports’ QoS to low.
(4) Link Status
Link Status displays each port’s link status. If the port’s
connection is valid, it will show the connection speed (10 or 100)
and duplex mode (half or full). The status displays Down if the
port is not connected.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
In VLAN settings, you can group a number of ports into
individual “virtual” network. Port(s) not in the same VLAN will
not be able to communicate with each other. There are 25 VLAN
groups available. To setup VLAN, enter the VLAN group
number and you will see [vvvvvvvvvv:vvvvvvvvvv:vvvvv]. Each
v (or - ) represents a port; starting from left to right, the port
number is 1~25, with : after port 10 and port 20. Use [Tab] and
[Backspace] keys to locate the desired port and then hit [Space
20
Page 27
X
Bar] to select “V” to add the port to the VLAN group or select “” to delete the port from the group. In default, all ports belong to
VLAN 1 (see Figure 14).
Figure 14. VLAN Configuration
For example, there are five computers (PC1~PC5) connected to
the Switch’s port 1~5. The 5 PCs are divided into two VLAN
groups, VLAN1 (PC1 ~ PC4) and VLAN2 (PC2 ~ PC5). In this
setup, PC1 could not communicate with PC5, because they are
not in the same VLAN group.
