1. INTRODUCTION This guide is intended for the system or network administratorresponsible for installing and monitoring a Transition Networks’ pocketswitch. A working knowledge of local area network (LAN) operations,including familiarity with communications protocols used oninterconnected LANs, is a...

Page 5 - The Evolving Ethernet Network; Warranty Statement

The Evolving Ethernet Network Installing one Transition Networks’ pocket switch alone improvesnetwork performance. Installing additional Fast Ethernet equipment(and, optionally, installing additional Transition Networks’ pocketswitches) can optimize network performance. A network evolution from lega...

Page 6 - Network Flexibility; Protocol Compatible; Fault Isolation; YES; Technical Support Contact

Network Flexibility The Transition Networks’ pocket switch can assist a networkadministrator in maintaining existing resources as the network evolvesfrom shared legacy 10Mb/s Ethernet to switched 100Mb/s Fast Ethernetbecause a pocket switch can function as : • A 2-port bridge in the legacy 10BASE-T ...

Installing Network Cable (continued) Connecting Fiber Cable to TX/RX Connectors (100BASE-FX) Effective cable distances are determined by ambient RF noise and bysignal loss in the cable. Since fiber has a low signal loss/meter and isinvulnerable to RF noise, fiber can be used to extend distances. OPT...

Page 10 - Doubling Bandwidth by Installing Full-Duplex; dedicated twisted; Microsegmented Ethernet Link is Full-Duplex; 0BASE-T AND THE ETHERNET COLLISION DOMAIN

Doubling Bandwidth by Installing Full-Duplex NOTE: The 10BASE-T specification requires two dedicated twisted copper wire pairs for data transmission and reception. This allows twisted pair copper cable to be used either in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Legacy CSMA/CD Ethernet is Half-Duplex Legac...

Page 11 - Install Transition Networks' Pocket Switch; Straight-Through Cable

Installing Network Cable (continued) Straight-Through/Crossover (10BASE-T /100BASE-TX) The most popular wiring used today, unshielded twisted-pair coppercable, is used for 10BASE-T and for 100BASE-TX. As with 10BASE-T,the transmit and receive data signals on each pair of a 100BASE-TXsegment are pola...
