Installing & Network Connection

Installation

ÞThe fiber TX, RX cables must be paired at both ends.

ÞRepeat the above step, as needed, for each fiber port to be connected to a 100Base-FX device.

ÞThe fiber port can be up-linked to an upper level hub's port.

ÞVerify that the voltage of AC power is correct and plug in AC power cord.

Note:

1.Both local and remote link devices (mode) must operate at the same transmission mode and speed

After the hub is powered off, wait at least 10 seconds before powering it on again

Network Parameter for 100Mbps Fiber

To help ensure a successful installation, you must observe the following cabling parameter. Violating these rules can render the LAN to work poorly.

It supports both fiber and copper connections, offering a versatile networking solution that enables long-distance data transmission while minimizing electromagnetic interference. This model is particularly effective in environments where secure and robust communication is critical.

On the other hand, the FSW-1600FXT and FSW-1600FXC are 16-port switches that deliver even more connectivity options. They are optimized for larger networks, supporting higher bandwidth requirements while maintaining low latency. These switches can be configured for fiber-to-fiber or copper-to-fiber connections, making them adaptable to various cabling infrastructures. The FSW-1600FXT is specifically designed for applications that necessitate redundancy and high availability.

The FSW-0800FXT complements the series by providing another 8-port version that focuses on enhanced performance and redundancy features. With support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), it simplifies the networking of devices requiring external power, such as IP cameras and access points. This feature eliminates the need for additional power supplies, streamlining installations and reducing costs.

All models prioritize robust build quality suited for harsh environments, ensuring they can withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and dust. Additionally, these switches feature advanced network management options, facilitating remote monitoring and control. Their support for VLANs, QoS, and IGMP snooping optimizes network traffic and enhances overall efficiency.

With a combination of reliability, scalability, and ease of use, the LevelOne FSW series is an excellent choice for businesses looking to upgrade their network infrastructure. These switches are not only cost-effective but also future-proof, accommodating the growing demands of industrial connectivity and allowing for seamless integration with existing systems. As organizations continue to evolve and expand, the LevelOne FSW series stands out as a trusted solution for maintaining high-performance networks.
