Helpful Suggestions, Prior to Installation

4 HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS

4.1Prior to Installation

Before installing this Switch and connecting it to network devices, it is important to plan the network's layout. Things you should consider include:

Dedicated Bandwidth: File servers and other high-traffic hardware improve their performance if they have their own dedicated 10Mbps or 100Mbps bandwidth.

Full-Duplex:Determine which devices support Full-Duplex connections.

Fast Ethernet: Make sure rules for cable lengths and categories are followed. 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX have different rules for cable and distance.

Auto-Negotiation:Devices with different speeds may be easily swapped when the other end of the cable is fixed to a port with Auto-Negotiation.

Crossover Uplink: This Switch can be Uplinked to another Switch using any of the TP port.

4.2Half- and Full-Duplex

This Switch supports both Half- and Full-Duplex modes for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX.

In Half-Duplex mode data cannot be transmitted and received at the same time. Attached devices must finish transmitting data before they can receive data.

In Full-Duplex mode data can be transmitted and received at the same time.

4.3Auto-Negotiation

Every 10/100Mbps dual speed port on this Switch has a built-in "Auto-Negotiation" function. This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth as soon as a connection is established with another network device (usually at Power “On” or Reset). This capability is achieved via the Switch’s Auto-Negotiation function that automatically detects the modes and speeds the second (attached) device is capable of.

Evaluating Auto-Negotiation Capability:

If the attached device is: This Switch Will Automatically Set Its TP Ports to Operate At:

100Mbps	100Mbps Bandwidth (100BASE-TX, Half-Duplex)
no Auto-Negotiation
100Mbps	200Mbps Bandwidth (100BASE-TX, Full-Duplex)
with Auto-Negotiation
10Mbps	10Mbps Bandwidth (10BASE-T, Half-Duplex)
no Auto-Negotiation
10Mbps	20Mbps Bandwidth (10BASE-T, Full-Duplex)
with Auto-Negotiation

Note: If the attached device is set to a fixed Forced Full-Duplex mode, it will not operate as an Auto-Negotiation device.

4.4MAC Address Table

Every Ethernet data packet includes both source and destination addresses. This 6-byte ID is called the MAC (Media Access Control) Address.

The Switch can automatically learn and store MAC addresses. However, the MAC address table is volatile: it disappears when the Switch is powered “Off” or reset.

Note: When the network needs reconfiguration, we recommend turning off the power first. After all nodes have been moved, Remove the power cord and re-attach it on the back panel to rebuild the internal MAC address table.
