UNICOM Electric FEP-31024T-1 Introduction, Key Features, Troubleshooting, Product Specifications

Introduction

The Dyna-Switch/16and Dyna-Switch/24(Auto MDI/MDIX) are Fast Ethernet switches that provide wire-speed, a Fast Ethernet switching function which allows high-performance, low-cost connections to Full- duplex, Half-duplex, 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet networks. The Switches are targeted at workgroup, department, or backbone computing environments in SME (small, medium enterprise) businesses.

These Switches provides auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports which automatically detect the speed of the device that you plug into them. This switching function allows 10Mbps, 100Mbps, Full-duplex and Half- duplex devices to communicate on the same network without having to replace any infrastructure. This flexible feature allows your network a timely, economical migration to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet.

Key Features

■Automatic MDI/MDIX crossover for all ports

■N-Way Auto-negotiation for 10/100Mbps transmissions

■Store-and-Forward switching architecture

■Auto-detection of full/half-duplex mode in all ports

■Performs non-blocking full wire speed

■8K-entry MAC address table

■LED indicators for Power, Link/activity, and Full Duplex/Collision

■19” Rack-mountable with included brackets

■Conforms to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x standard

Troubleshooting

The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying problems. This section describes common problems you may encounter and possible solutions.

■Power

If the power indicator does not light when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet or cord. However, if the power LED goes off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. Turn off power, wait 30 seconds and turn power on again. If problem is still not resolved, call for dealer’s assistance.

■Cabling

Verify that the cabling type is correct. Make sure all cable connectors are securely seated in the required ports. Use only standard Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP), Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e cables. Use only Category 5 or 5e when connecting with Fast Ethernet. Make certain the maximum distance between the Switch and what it’s connected to is 100 meters or less.

NOTE: Do not plug a standard telephone cord into an RJ-45 port. This may damage the switch.
