  • Page 11: About This Guide

    Terms For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms “ Switch” (first letter upper case) to refer to the DES-1008M Flex-Media Ethernet Switch, and “ switch” (first letter lower case) to refer to all Ethernet switches, including the DES-1008M. Overview of the User’s Guide Chapter 1, Product Overview.
  • Page 12 DES-1008M User’s Guide Appendix Technical specifications of the Switch. Appendix B, Cables and Connectors. Provides specifications on cables and connectors. Appendix C, Slide-in Port Modules. Describes the various slide-in port modules that are supported by the Switch. Specifications. Lists technical...
  • Page 13: Product Overview

    The Switch provides four expansion slots, each of which supports one slide- in port module with two network ports. Ports can vary from ordinary twisted-pair ports to BNC or fiber-optic ports depending on the installed modules.
  • Page 14 Powerful Performance The Switch supports wire-speed data filtering and forwarding rates, and large per-port MAC address routing table for efficient packet switching. Comprehensive LED Indicators LED indicators are provided to report on the status of power and port status (speed, Link/Act, FDX/Col) on the connected segments.
  • Page 15: Unpacking And Component Identification

    This chapter provides unpacking information and description on the various external components of the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One Switch One AC power cord...
  • Page 16: Identifying External Components

    DES-1008M User’s Guide Inspect the Switch and all accompanying items. If any item is damaged or missing, report the problem immediately to your networking equipment dealer. The base unit does not include any slide-in NOTE: port modules. You need to purchase these modules separately from your networking equipment dealer.
  • Page 17: Indicator Panel

    This LED lights green when the Switch is receiving power; otherwise, it is off. If this indicator does not light after turning on the Switch, check the system fuse. This fuse can be found inside the fuse case located just beneath the AC power connector.
  • Page 18 Because wait periods vary among devices, successive collisions become increasingly improbable. If the port connects to another switch or hub, collision indicators of these devices would indicate the same collision, since collisions span an entire local area network.
  • Page 19: Rear Panel

    Rear Panel System Fan This fan is used to circulate air inside the Switch and also to dissipate heat. The sides of the system also provide heat vents to serve the same purpose. Do not block these openings, and ensure to leave adequate space at the rear and sides of the Switch for proper ventilation.

  • Page 21: Installation

    Site Installation Installation Notes The Switch is suited for use in the office where it can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or placed on desktops. Alternatively, the system can be rack-mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. A rack- mounting and desktop-mounting kit containing mounting brackets and rubber feet are supplied with the Switch.
  • Page 22: Rack Mounting

    2. Place the Switch on a flat surface with the front panel facing you. 3. Place a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the system.

  • Page 24: Port Module Installation

    Use the same screwdriver to tighten the screws. Connecting Power The Switch features a power supply unit that automatically adjusts to the level of the input voltage. Supported voltage levels range from 100V to 240V AC at 50 to 60 Hz. Your local voltage level should fall within this range.
  • Page 25: Replacing The Fuse

    To turn on the Switch, plug in the provided AC power cord into the power connector at the rear of the system, then slide the rocker power switch to the “ 1” position. After turning on the power, the Power indicator on the front panel turns on.

  • Page 27: Aking Etwork Onnections

    This chapter provides information on creating network connections to the Switch. Network Design Notes When adding a Switch into your network, take into consideration the information provided in this section. Node Connections There are some Ethernet switches that only support a single dedicated station per port.
  • Page 28: Cable Limitations

    DES-1008M User’s Guide Cable Limitations When connecting network devices to the Switch, you must observe some rules on the allowable segment length and cable type to maintain networks within the set specifications. The table below lists the allowable segment lengths and cable types as specified by IEEE 802.3.
  • Page 29: Making Twisted-Pair Attachments

    Making Twisted-Pair Attachments You can make twisted-pair attachments to the Switch by first installing DES-108TX modules. The system can be configured to have a maximum of eight switched twisted-pair ports. Each of these ports support N-Way or 100Mbps full-duplex force mode.
  • Page 30: Making Thin Coaxial Attachments

    Making Thin Coaxial Attachments You can make BNC attachments to the Switch by first installing DES-108C modules. The system can be configured to have a maximum of eight switched BNC ports. You will need a T-connector and thin coaxial cable to make a BNC link;...
  • Page 31 5. Connect the T-connector to the thin coaxial cable. If the cable terminates at the port, enable the port’s termination by sliding its respective DIP switch to the ON position, as shown in the figure below. Otherwise, leave the switch to its OFF position. The corresponding LED of the port indicates its termination status.
  • Page 32 DES-1008M User’s Guide You may also use a 50-ohm BNC terminator if you wish. However, only one of these termination methods can be used at a time. 6. Repeat the same procedure to connect the other nodes. For information about the indicators on the slide-in port modules, see Appendix C, Slide-in Port Modules.
  • Page 33: Making Fiber Attachments

    If the node you intend to connect is located at a remote area, you may use fiber optics to link this device to the Switch. Fiber attachment to the system is available through both the DES-108FL and DES-108FX modules. These modules come with two switched fiber-optic ports, providing fiber links to remote nodes.
  • Page 34 DES-1008M User’s Guide 4. Remove the protective covers from the connectors of the selected port. 5. Using the fiber cable, connect the Rx connector of the selected port to the Tx connector of the node. Then, connect the Tx connector of the port to the Rx connector of the node.

  • Page 41: Slide - In Port Modules

    DES-1008M User’s Guide LIDE ODULES The Switch supports four types of slide-in port modules, DES-108TX, DES- 108C, DES-108FL, and DES-108FX. These modules provide various ports for connection to different network media like twisted-pair, thin coaxial cable, and fiber-optic cable. This appendix describes each module.
  • Page 42: Des-108C

    Each port can be terminated without the use of an external 50-ohm BNC terminator, via the on-board DIP switches. To enable the port’s termination, slide its respective DIP switch to the ON position. This module also provides LED indicators for displaying the termination status for the ports.
  • Page 43: Des-108Fl

    DES-1008M User’s Guide DES-108FL This Fiber-Optic Inter-Repeater Link (FOIRL) module provides two switched fiber-optic ports for creating fiber-optic links. Each of these ports has two connectors; one for reception (Rx) and another for transmission (Tx). When creating a link, ensure that the Rx connectors connect to the Tx connectors, and vice versa.
  • Page 44 DES-1008M User’s Guide To set a port to full- or half-duplex mode, first power down the device. For half-duplex mode on port 1, use a minijumper to interconnect pins 1 and 4 of jumper pad JP1 (this is the factory default setting). For half-duplex mode on port 2, use a minijumper to interconnect pins 2 and 3 of JP1.
