8 Port 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet  
Smart Switch with Fibre Uplink  
-
Product User Guide  
Introduction  
This compact Tyco Electronics/AMPNetconnect auto-negotiating  
Ethernet workgroup smart switch enables SOHO users and small  
size workgroups to have high speed, low latency LAN connections  
to the main network using a fibre link.  
The automatic sensing of the connected 10/100Mbit/s data rate  
and the detection of either a switch/hub or PC connected to the  
Ethernet copper ports eliminates the need for any Ethernet cross-  
over cables and greatly simplifies installation.

Ports  
RJ-45 Ports. These Ethernet RJ-45 ports support both  
shielded and unshielded cabling systems. Each port auto-  
negotiates the 10/100Mbit/s network speed and auto-  
detects the connected device type which eliminates the  
need for cross-over cables.  
Fibre Port. The switch has a fibre uplink port that can be  
connected to 100Base-FX devices. Different optical  
connector formats are available (ST/SC/MT-RJ) together  
with singlemode and multimode fibres.  
Console Port. This port enables the administrator to  
change switch settings such as port values, VLANs etc.  
AC Power Connector This connector accepts any  
standard IEC 320 style power connector.

Installation  
Copper and Fiber Cabling Guidelines  
1. The RJ-45 ports can be connected to unshielded twisted pair  
(UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling systems compliant  
with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base TX standard for Category 5. The  
cable between the switch and the link partner device (router,  
hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 metres long.  
2. The switch auto-detects the type of connected device (PC or  
hub) and automatically configures the RJ-45 port to avoid the  
need for an Ethernet cross-over cable.  
3. The fibre link must use either 50 or 62.5/125 micron multi-mode  
or 9/125 micron singlemode cable (dependant on model). You  
can link two devices over a distance of up to 2km for multimode  
or 15km on singlemode. See optical budget specifications.  
4. The console port is an RS232 port and should not be used for  
cable distances greater than 20 metres. Use the supplied data  
cable wherever possible.  
Desktop Installation  
1. Fit the self-adhesive rubber feet to the underside of the switch.  
2. Locate the switch in a clean, flat and safe position that has easy  
access to AC power. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance  
around the switch to enable air circulation.

Completing The Installation  
When the switch has been installed as specified above, then the  
unit can be configured as detailed below:-  
1. Connect the AC power cable to the switch. The green Power  
LED on the front panel of the switch should light.  
2. Connect the Cat. 5/5e twisted pair cables from the network  
partner devices to the RJ-45 ports on the switch. When a  
network connection is obtained, the green LK/ACT LED  
associated with the port will light.  
3. Connect the fibre link to the partner device (media converter,  
fibre NIC card or fibre switch etc). Verify that the green LK/ACT  
LED for the fibre port is lit which indicates that the optical link is  
valid.  
4. If advanced modes such as port configuration or port-based  
VLANs are needed, then use the console port to configure the  
switch. See the console port instructions on page 7.  
5. If legacy devices that do not support auto-negotiation are  
connected to the RJ-45 ports, then it may be necessary to  
program the switch to match the speed and duplex modes of  
the partner devices. See page 9  
6. Note that auto-negotiation can take up to 30 seconds to  
complete depending on the partner device.

Configuring The Console Port  
The switch has a console port on the rear panel that can be used  
to provide simple control and configuration of the unit. The  
following port controls are available:-  
Port Data Rate  
Port Duplex Mode  
Port Based VLAN Assignment  
A PC can be used to communicate with the switch using the  
console port. A terminal emulation program such as Windows  
Terminal or HyperTerminal is configured to the following settings:-  
Com Port 1 or 2  
Speed = 9600  
Data Bits = 8  
Parity = None  
Stop Bits = 1  
Flow Control = None  
Figure 3 - Console Port Settings  
Connect the PC RS232 serial port to the Console port using the  
data cable supplied with the switch. Enter any key and the screen  
should now show the top-level console display.

This screen enables  
the port speed and  
duplex mode to be  
controlled.  
The default is auto-  
negotiation which is  
the best method for  
most new networks.  
However,  
some  
legacy systems may  
need to use fixed  
duplex and speeds,  
so these can be  
applied on the switch  
using this menu.  
Select the option 1..5  
to  
change  
port  
settings or select 6 to  
return to the main  
menu.  
Figure 6 - Port Configuration - 2  
Simple port based VLANs can be created by selecting option 2  
from the entry menu. There are 2 steps to create VLANs. First  
draw a map that shows a matrix of ports and VLANs.  
Then select the port  
and  
the  
required  
VLAN ID (1..7). To  
add the port to the  
VLAN, enter option 1  
and then enter option  
3 to save the setting.  
Repeat this for all  
required VLAN and  
port  
combinations.  
Note that the switch  
resets each time the  
VLAN state is viewed.  
This is normal.

Trouble Shooting  
Power  
1. Verify that the AC power is present and that the external fusing  
is correct and compliant with national requirements. The green  
Power LED should be lit to indicate that the switch is powered  
correctly.  
Data Problems  
1. Ensure that the Ethernet partner device (switch, router, NIC etc)  
connected to the RJ-45 UTP port of the switch is set for auto-  
negotiation. If this Ethernet partner device does not support  
auto-negotiation, then you need to program that device to  
operate at 100Mbit/s half duplex or 10Mbit/s half duplex or  
program this switch using the console port.  
2. If the switch and the partner device cannot auto-negotiate then  
both units automatically revert to the lower level of half-duplex  
operation. This issue is common to all auto-negotiating Ethernet  
devices and the symptoms of incorrect negotiation include data  
errors and fragmented packets.  
3. Auto-negotiation can take up to 30 seconds to complete  
depending on the partner device.  
4. Ensure that the switch is not overheating due to obstructed  
airflow around the side vents.  
5. Select the proper fibre cable for your network. See page 4 for  
the supported cable types and installation settings.  
6. Ensure that the optical loss budget of the fibre uplink is within  
the limits specified on page 11. Note that optical patch cables  
and other joints and splices can introduce additional optical  
losses that reduce the working distance of the fibre link.  
7. Restore factory settings by selecting option 3 on the main menu  
of the console port.  
Console Problems  
1. Verify that the PC has been set up with the correct serial link  
settings as detailed on page 7.  
2. Ensure that the serial data cable supplied with the switch is  
used.  
If you still have problems and need further advice, please see  
Technical Support section on page 2 to obtain more information.

Fibre Uplink Port Specifications  
The switch has a 100Base-FX optical fibre uplink port that  
operates at the 1310nm optical wavelength for both the multimode  
and singlemode models.  
The fibre size used for multimode links is 50/125 or 62/125 micron.  
The fibre size used for singlemode links is 8/125 or 9/125 micron.  
The maximum distance between any two fibre optic devices is  
determined by a number of factors including optical link loss, the  
type and number of patch cords and joints in the link, the launch  
power of the transmitter and the sensitivity of the receiver. These  
variables make calculating the maximum working distance  
between two converters quite difficult and so it is best to design  
networks using optical loss budgets rather than using just working  
distance.
