[. . . ] The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. Traffic that needs to go from one segment to another is automatically forwarded by the switch, without interfering with any other segments. This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards. For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating problems of chaining hubs beyond the "two-repeater limit. " A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making it possible to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE-FX networks. Switches supporting both traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and new 100Mbps networks. 2 Introduction User's Guide 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 and the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today's switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The DES-1008FX Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously. The DES-1008FX Switch features: Ports 8 high performance 100BaseFX ports all operating at 100 Mbps for connection to workstation, servers and hubs. All ports can be selected to perform half-duplex or full duplex connections. Select any of 8 ports for uplink/ MDI-X (media dependent interface) port for uplink to another switch, hub or repeater. Performance features Store and forward switching scheme capability to support rate adaptation and protocol conversion. Introduction 3 Full and Half-duplex at 100Mbps to allow two communicating stations to transmit and receive at the same time. 8K active MAC address entry table per device with selflearning and table aging. Supports broadcast storm rate filtering. 4 Introduction User's Guide 2 2 UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One DES-1008FX 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch Four rubber feet with adhesive backing 1 AC power cord This user's guide with Registration Card If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local D-Link Reseller for replacement. Unpacking and Setup 5 Setup The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps: The surface must support at least 3 Kg. The power outlet should be within 1. 82 meters (6 feet) of the device. Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is secured fully to the AC power connector. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. Desktop or Shelf Installation When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device must be first attached. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it. 6 Unpacking and Setup User's Guide Figure 1. DES-1008FX Fast Ethernet Switch installed on a Desktop or Shelf Rack Installation The DES-1008FX can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the switch's front panel (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided. Unpacking and Setup 7 Figure 2A. Attaching the mounting brackets to the DES-1008FX 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the Switch in the rack. Figure 2B. [. . . ] NOTE: If your SC connectors are not locked together the TX and RX on the PC's side, the cable connectors at the switch must reversed to RX and TX of the Switch. The "uplinked" Switch LED indicators for the respective connected ports are as follows: The Link LED indicator comes ON upon hookup. The FDX LED indicator depends upon the "uplinked" switch's capabilities and Duplex Mode switch setting at DES-1008FX back panel. LED indicator depends upon communication activity. 16 Connecting The Switch User's Guide 5 5 CONFIGURING THE SWITCHES Summary The DES-1008FX is a Auto-Learning unintelligent 100BaseFX Fast Ethernet Switch.
