User manual D-LINK DSS-16-

[. . . ] 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. 2 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. [. . . ] Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it. Fast Ethernet Switch installed on a Desktop or Shelf Rack Mounting The DSS-16+ can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the switch's front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws. 6 Attaching the mounting brackets to the Switch Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack. Installing the Switch in an equipment rack 7 IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS This section identifies all the major external components of the DSS-16+. The figure below shows the front panels of the DSS-16+. 16-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch 1. LED Indicator Panel Refer to the detailed information about each of the DSS-16+'s LED indicators. Power This indicator lights green when the switch is receiving power; otherwise, it is off. Link / Act (Link/Activity) This indicator lights on when the port is connected to a Fast Ethernet or Ethernet device; if the light is blinking, it indicates that data is being transmitted or received. 8 FDX / Col (Full-duplex/Collision) This LED indicator lights green when a respective port is in full duplex (FDX) operation mode. Otherwise, it is blinking when collisions are occurring on the respective port in half duplex operation mode. 100Mbps This LED indicator lights green when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station. Otherwise, the LED is off when the port is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet device. Twisted-Pair Ports These ports support auto-negotiation for speeds of 10M or 100M, and operation modes of full or half duplex. They also support Auto-MDI/MDIX crossover detection function for giving a true "plug and play" capability. It makes no difference if the end node is a NIC (Network Interface Card, ) a switch, or a hub. 9 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION General Standards Protocol Data Transfer Rate Topology Network Cables IEEE 802. 3 10BASE-T Ethernet IEEE 802. 3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet CSMA/CD Ethernet: 10Mbps (half duplex), 20Mbps (full-duplex) Fast Ethernet: 100Mbps (half duplex), 200Mbps (full- duplex) Star 10BASE-T: 2-pair UTP Cat. 5, EIA/TIA-568 100-ohm STP 16 x 10/100Mbps Auto-MDI ports Number of Ports Physical and Environmental AC inputs Power Consumption Temperature Humidity Dimensions EMI: Safety 100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz internal universal power supply 6 watts.
