Chapter 1 Introduction

The 4-Slot Modular Switch are multi-speed network devices combining Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet capabilities in a single compact, rack-mountable cabinet. Combining 10Mbps Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in one unit allows these switches to unclog existing LANs and provide a path to efficient, high-speed networking.

The 4-Slot Modular Switch is a combination of a 4-slot host cabinet which accepts more than 15 different media modules. A maximum configuration of 32 x 10/100Base-TX switched ports can be achieved using 4 X 8 port 10/100Base-TX modules. In the same way, a maximum configuration of 32×10/100Base-TX or 8/16/32 ×100Base-FX ports, or 4 x 1000Base-SX/LX/TX can be accommodated in the host cabling. Any of the above modules can be integrated to give up to many different configurations.

Device Description, Features and Capabilities

4-Slot Modular Switch Front and Rear Panels

This section describes the features on the front and rear panels of the 4-Slot Modular Switch unit.

Figure 1-2. Front Panel

Figure 1-3. Rear Panel

All LED status indicators are located on the FRONT panel of the switches. They provide a real-time indication of system and operational status. The ports for connections to other devices and networks are also on the front panels, along with the crossover switches. The following sections provide descriptions of the LED indicators and ports.

LED

Explanation

Indicators

The red power indicator is illuminated

Power

when power is provided to the switch and the switch is turned in the ON position. Green Link/Activity indicators are

Link/Activity

illuminated when the switch detects a connection to that port. The indicator blinks when data is transmitted over the network connected to that port. When a port is not connected, the indicator is off.

Red Full Duplex/Col indicators are illuminated when that port is in full duplex

Full

mode. The indicator is off when that port is in half duplex mode.

Duplex/Col

When a collision occurs on the network connected to a port, that Full Duplex/Col indicator blinks.

Green 100Mbps indicators are illuminated

100Mbps

when the port is operating in 100Mbps mode. The indicator is off when the port is operating in 10Mbps mode.

 Power Port

The power port accepts the power plug.

 Power Switch

The power switch, located on the rear panel, controls the power supply

8 ports 10/100Base-TX Module

Figure 1-4. 8 port 10/100Base-TX Module

When installed into a 4-Slot Modular Switch, the 10/100Base-TX Module provides 8x 10/100Mbps Switch ports which can connect the 4-Slot Modular Switch to a 10Mbps or 100Mbps hub or end station.

8 Ports 10/100Base-TX Module Features

 8x 10/100Base-TX N-Way Switch ports.  Conforms to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T and IEEE 802.3u

100Base-TX and IEEE 802.3x Ethernet Standards

 Store and forward switch architecture for abnormal

packet filtering

 Support for half and full duplex on all ports  Back-plane up to 2.4Gbps  256K bytes Packet Buffer  Automatic address learning with 4K address entry

2 ports 100Base-FX Fiber Module

Figure 1-6. 2 port 100Base-FX Module Front View

When installed into a 4-Slot Modular Switch, this Module provides a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet fiber port which can be used to:

 Connect the Switch to the backbone of your network;

that is, to a basement switch, hub or router

 Connect the Switch to a 100Mbps server or

end-station

An ST (or SC) connector provides the link to the multi-mode fiber cabling and two indicators show the status of the Module at-a glance. A DIP-switch sets the operating mode to half duplex or full duplex (default).
