C H A P T E R 1 Hardware Installation and Network Topology

NOTE

The switch will only work with 100 Mbps devices. For a 10BASE-T connection, see page 12.

Installation and Setup

1 Install the switch in a rack or on a shelf.

For rack placement, connect the switch to a 19-inch rack using the enclosed rack mount brackets.

For shelf placement, attach the enclosed rubber feet to each corner of the bottom of the switch and place it on a flat, level surface.

2 Plug the switch in and turn the power on.

Plug the switch into an active AC outlet and turn the power on. A built-in power supply automatically adjusts to any outlet providing between 90 VAC and 264 VAC at 50/60 Hz.

3 Connect the Fast Ethernet devices.

For optimum performance, the Fast Ethernet segments connected to the switch must be configured carefully. Follow these general guidelines:

•Connect only 100 Mbps devices to the switch. The switch will not work with 10 Mbps devices. See page 12 for information on connecting to a 10 Mbps segment.

•Always use Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable when plugging devices into 100BASE-TX ports.

•Limit the distance between devices connected with UTP cable to 100 meters.

•Use a crossover cable when directly connecting a workstation, server, or another switch to the switch. Use straight-through cables when connecting to a repeating hub or concentrator.

•Configure the network so devices that primarily talk to each other are on the same segment. Each port on the switch is defined as a single Fast Ethernet segment.

4 Is setup complete?

If you’re using the switch as a stand-alone device (not under the control of network management software), you’re done.

If you want to change the default configuration (shown in Appendix A) or manage the switch, continue to Chapter 2.
