BOUT UIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the 8-Port 10/100Mbps NWay Ethernet Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible desktop package. Purpose This manual discusses how to install your 8-Port 10/100Mbps NWay Ethernet Switch.
NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the 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.
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.

The Switch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.

NPACKING AND ETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switches. Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One 8-Port 10/100Mbps NWay Ethernet Switch One external power adapter This User’s Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
DENTIFYING XTERNAL OMPONENTS This section identifies all the major external components of the hub. Both the front and rear panels are shown followed by a description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter. Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the switch.
Rear Panel DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Since the switch does not include a power switch, plugging its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on. Auto-MDI-X Function ports: Use these jacks (port-1 ~ port-7) to connect stations to the hub.
