3 A BOUT T HIS G UIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the LevelOne FSW - 16 10/ 24 10 TFX 16/24 P ort 10/100M bps Fast Ethernet Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package.
4 Overview of this User’s Guide Chapter 1, Introduction . Describes the Switch and its features. Chapter 2, Unpacking and Installation . Helps you get started with the basic installation of the Switch. Chapter 3, Identifying External Components . Describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the Switch.
11 I NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
8 Switching Technology Another approach to push ing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridge Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast E thernet LAN segments.
13 Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement ove r the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical.
8 upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switches now, and change adapters and hu bs anytime later without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the network.
15 at wire - speed for 100Mbps speed. Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per port at wire - speed for 10Mbps speed. Up to 8K active MAC address entry table with self - learning and table - aging for 16 - port model and 24 - port model.
8 Installation The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its pe r formance. When installing, consider the following pointers: Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See A p pendix B for the acceptable temperature and humidity opera t ing ranges.
17 Rack Mounting The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard - size, 19 - inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. A t tach the mounting brackets at the switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.
8 Identifying External Components This section identifies all the major external components of the switch. Both the front and rear panels are shown, followed by a description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter.
19 Front Panel The figure below shows the front panels of the switches. 16 - port 10/100M Fast Ethernet Switch 24 - port 10/100M Fast Ethernet Switch LED Indicator Panel Refer to the next chapter for d e tailed info r mation about each of the switch’s LED indicators.

24 C ONNECTING T HE S WITCH This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast Ethernet network. PC to Switch A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two - pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable.
23 via a two - pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable. The connection is accomplished from the hub uplink (MDI - II) port to any port of the Switch (MDI - X) ports. A. 10BASE - T Hub For a 10BASE - T hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as the following: “10/100M FDX, 10/100M COL” LED indicator is OFF.
24 Switch to Switch (other devices) The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two - pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover cable.
23 Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the sel ected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto - negotiation to determine the transmission mode for any new twisted - pair connection: If t.
