2H28-08R Overview

2H28-08R SmartSwitch 2208 User’s Guide 1-3

The 2H28-08R may be used as a tabletop unit or can be installed in a

standard 19-inch rack using the supplied rack mounting hardware.

The 2H28-08R has two power supplies. Both are universal ac power

supplies with automatic voltage sensing that allows operation using

100–125 or 200–240 Vac, 50/60 Hz. The power supplies load share 50%

(+/-5%) of the power required by the device. If one power supply fails, the

remaining power supply assumes the entire load of the device without

interruption to network trafﬁc. Each power supply module supports its

own ac input connection, which allows the user to connect each power

supply to a different ac power circuit.

1.3.1 Connectivity

The six ﬁxed ports on the 2H28-08R connect to Ethernet networks or

workstations using SC ﬁber optic connectors.

The 2H28-08R has two front panel slots (ports 7 and 8) for optional Fast

Ethernet Interface Modules to support an uplink to 100 Mbps Fast

Ethernet backbones, a high speed connection to a local server, or a

connection to 10BASE-T.

1.3.2 Switching Options

The 2H28-08R provides traditional switching (IEEE 802.1D bridging),

IEEE 802.1Q, or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services between

all of the front panel interfaces including the optional Fast Ethernet

Interface Modules. SecureFast Switching and IEEE 802.1Q allow for

migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the

replacement of existing equipment.

1.3.3 Full Duplex Switched Ethernet

All the ports for the 2H28-08R, including the optional modules, can be

conﬁgured to operate in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet mode, which

provides 200 Mbps of throughput.
