LEDIndicators Explanation Power The red power indicator is illuminatedwhen power is provided to the switch andthe switch is turned in the ON position. Link/Activity Green Link/Activity indicators areilluminated when the switch detects aconnection to that port. The indicatorblinks when data is transm...

DIP Switch with Link Mode The 8 port 10/100Base-TX module provides dip switch for1 to 4 port to adjust link mode with other network devices.Another 4 ports use auto-negotiation protocol only. Thereare three type of link mode can be chosen, Auto-negotiation, 100Mbps/Full duplex and 10Mbps/Full duplex...

Chapter 2 Planning your Network Before you install your MIL-S1000, you should review theguidelines for setting up Ethernet networks. Further, youshould plan your network to take maximum advantage ofits switching capabilities. 10Base-T Ethernet Network Guidelines # The maximum length of a 10Base-T ca...

1000BASE-SX and LX Network Guideline 1000BASE-SX # In multi-mode, the fiber optic segment cannot exceed 220m(62.5/125 µ m) or 500m(50/125 µ m) in length. 1000BASE-LX # In multi-mode, the fiber optic segment cannot exceed 550m(62.5/125 µ m), 550m(50/125 µ m) in length. # In single-mode the fiber opti...

To expand your network topology or enhance networkperformance, use the MIL-S1000 as collapsed backbone orto increase file server performance, to segment largenetworks, to interconnect 10Mbps networks with 100Mbpsnetworks, or to overcome the limitations of 10Base-T and100Base-TX networks. Expanded Ne...

Collapsed Backbone Link Traditionally, bridges and routers have been used to linklocal area networks into one interconnected network. Butthese devices involve difficult management and long trafficdelays. The MIL-S1000 providers multiport bridges with shortdelays, easy setup and maintenance, making i...

MIL-S1000 100/1000 Hub in a collapsed backbone link Fileserver Link 100Base Solution With a fileserver link, you can increase file serverperformance by increasing the Hub's bandwidth betweenone or more fileservers and the workgroups they serve. If you connect 10Mbps workgroup hubs to the...

1000Base Solution You can upgrade your server with a Gigabit Ethernet NIC,and introduce a Gigabit backbone switch too. Thiscontains several switch ports which provides much fasteraccess to your server with minimum disruption. See Figure16. Multiport Bridge with High-Bandwidth Backbone With a MIL-S10...

Figure 2-5. Used as a Multiport Bridge Using your hub, you can also connect 10Base-T networksand 100Base-TX and 1000Base-SX/LX networks togetherfor more flexibility in your network topology. As in theFigure 16 shown above, the MIL-S1000 can connectthrough one port to a 10Base-T network, and througha...

Chapter 3 Installation The MIL-S1000 can be installed quickly and easily.However, for an installation with minimum impact onthe existing network, please read this chapter carefully. Installing a MIL-S1000 involves three steps: 1. Choosing a location 2. Supplying power 3. Connecting the switch Choosi...

Attaching self-adhesive feet for desktop installation Rack Installation Your switch comes with two rack mounting brackets. youcan use these brackets to mount the switch on an EIAstandard 19" rack. Attach the brackets to the switch, usingthe screws pr...

Connecting the Switch You can connect your switch to network devices such asdesktops and workgroups or to other hubs. Before connecting your switch to a desktop or workgroupmake sure that: # The 10Base-T twisted pair Ethernet cabling is Category 3 or above. # The 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling is ...

Chapter 4. Module Installation and Removal WARNING Before installing the Modules into a MIL-S1000, you mustdisconnect the Switch from the main power supply. Handling the Modules The Module can be easily damaged by electrostaticdischarge. To prevent damage, please observe thefollowing: # Do not remov...

Module Setup and Installation 1. Ensure that the Switch is disconnected from the main power supply and that you are wearing an anti-staticwrist-band connected to a suitable grounding point. 2. Place the Switch on a flat surface. Using a small cross- bladed screwdriver, remove the blanking plate from...

Installing the Modules Installing 10/100Base-TX Modules a. Insert the RJ-45 connector on your cable into the socketof the Module. b. Connect the other end of the cable to an appropriatedevice with a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet or 10MbpsEthernet twisted pair interface. c. Power up the Switch. Installing 10...

Installing 1000Base-SX/LX Modules a. Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiberconnectors on the Module. b. Ensure that the Switch is powered up. c. Plug the SC connector on the fiber cable into the fibersocket on the Module. d. Connect the other end of the fiber optic segment to anappropri...
