Transition Networks E-PSW-TX-02 Setting DIP Switch, Class I and Class II Fast Ethernet Repeaters

Setting DIP Switch

NOTE: The Auto-Negotiation system is designed so that a twisted-pair link will not become operational until matching capabilities exist at each end. The Auto-Negotiation protocol is NOT able to test the cable. The installer must ensure that the correct cable type is installed to support the highest speed and mode of operation to be selected.

To set network speed(s) and operation mode(s) using DIP switch:

1.Locate the DIP switch at the back of the Transition Network’s Pocket Switch.

2.Using a VERY small flatblade screwdriver or similar device and the table below, set Port 1 DIP switch to select one of the following modes:

•	Auto-Negotiation			(twisted-pair only)
• 100			Mb/sec – full-duplex	(twisted-pair OR fiber)
• 100			Mb/sec – half-duplex	(twisted-pair OR fiber)
• 10		Mb/sec – full-duplex		(twisted-pair only)
•	10	Mb/sec – half-duplex		(twisted-pair only)

3.Repeat for Port 2 (twisted-pair only).

Network distances can be extended to up to 2000 meters by installing a full-duplex fiber network interface card in the network device and then connecting fiber cable between the network device and the Transition Networks’ pocket switch.

15 Transition Networks’

Class I and Class II Fast Ethernet Repeaters

Both 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX use the same signalling techniques, so either Class I or Class II repeaters can be installed in the Transition Networks’ Fast Ethernet pocket switch network.
