1 I N T R O D U C T I O N 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 ...

2 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. It transmits packets among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Sw...

3 Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The DSS-5+ was designed for easy installation and h...

4 The Switch is an unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch that offers solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are: Auto-MDI (media dependent interface) port supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function gives true ‘plug and play’ capability without ...

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. Front Panel T...

7 its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it on. Auto-MDI Jacks: These jacks supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function gives true ‘plug and play’ capability without the need of confusing crossover cables or crossover ports. With the Auto-MDI function, you just nee...

8 C O N N E C T I N G T H E S W I T C H This chapter describes how to connect the DSS-5+ to your Fast Ethernet network. PC to Switch A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3,4, or5 UTP/STP straight-through cable. For 100Mbps operation Category 5 must be used. The PC (equipped wi...

9 (switch B) or other devices. Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode for any new twisted-pair connection: If the attached device does not support auto- negotiation or has auto-negotiation...
