  • Page 7: About This Guide

    B O U T H I S U I D E Congratulations on your purchase of your Alloy 24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Purpose This guide discusses how to install your 24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch.

  • Page 9: Introduction

    N T R O D U C T I O N This chapter describes the features of the 24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart 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.

  • Page 10: Switching Technology

    Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network.

  • Page 11: Vlan (Virtual Local Area Network)

    VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can communicate as if in a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead.

Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One 24-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch One AC power cord, suitable for your area’s electrical power connections...

  • Page 14: Installation

    Installation The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers: Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications temperature and humidity operating ranges. Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

  • Page 15: Rack Mounting

    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. Attach the mounting brackets at the switch’s front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.

  • Page 16: Connecting Network Cable

    Figure 2. Mount the Switch in the rack Connecting Network Cable The Switch supports 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and it runs both in half and full duplex modes. These ports are Auto-MDI type port. The Switch can auto transform to MDI-II or MDI-X type, so you can just make an easy connection that without worrying if you are using a standard or crossover cable.
