Milan Technology MIL-S501ST - Manual

7 2. Hardware Description This Section mainly describes the hardware of the MIL-S501xx.The MIL-S501xx is a compact palm size switch (6.5 inches) with5x 10/100 N-Way UTP switch ports plus one 100Baes-FX fiberport. The physical dimensions of the MIL-S501xx are: 165mm x 100mm x 24mm6.50 in. x 3.94 in. ...

8 LED Indicators The following table provides descriptions of the LED statuses and meaning. On Green The port is successfully connecting with the device. Blinks The port is receiving or transmitting data. LNK /ACT Off No device attached. On Yellow The port is operating in Full-duplex mode. Blinks Co...

9 Rear Panel The Rear Panel of the MIL-S501xx consists of 5x 10/100 N-WayUTP switch ports, Uplink Port, one 100Base-FX fiber port, 1 DIP-switch to select fiber port full-duplex or half-duplex mode, and DCpower connector. There are five types of fiber connectors available for theconvenience of your c...

12 3.Network Application This section provides you a few samples of network topology inwhich the Switch is used. In general, the MIL-S501xx is designedto be used as a desktop or segment switch. The Switch automatically learns node addresses, which aresubsequently used to filter and forward all traff...

13 Collapsed Backbone Application You can use Uplink port of the MIL-S501xx to connect withanother hub or switch to interconnect each of your small-switchedworkgroups to form a larger switched network. You can also usefiber ports to connect switches. The distance between twoswitches via fiber cable ...

15 n Cabling A. RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: Category3, 4or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or Category 5 cable for100Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of anytwisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (32...

17 Appendix What is Switch Ethernet ? With a high-speed backplane, it is possible to have all portscommunicating at wire speed with minimal latency and lowpacket loss A-1. 100Base-T Technology Review The 100BaseT standard retains 10BaseT's critical 100-metermaximum cable length between the hub and d...

18 *100BaseT4 for four-pair voice and data grade Category 3,4 or 5UTP*100BaseFX for 2-strand multimode fiber Media Access Control (MAC) Layer The MAC layer is based on the same CSMA/CD protocol as10Mbps Ethernet. The only difference is that it runs 10timesfaster. Media Independent Interface (MII) La...
