2.2.1 Ports Speed  
n 100Base-TX  
All 100Base-TX ports come with auto-negotiation capability.  
They automatically support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T  
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device  
into one of the 100Base-TX ports, then turn on the switch.  
The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps,  
100Mbps or 200Mbps after the negotiation with the con-  
nected device.  
2.2.2 Cabling  
100Base-TX ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone  
jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP).  
The IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard requires Category 5  
UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use  
Cat.3, 4, or 5 UTP (see table A)

2.2.3 Auto-MDI/MDI-X  
Each numbered port of FNSW-3200 is MDI/MDI-X port.  
Which automatically detects straight-through/ crossover ca-  
ble types. You can direct use straight cable for the connection  
to your workstation or other end nodes. Either straight or  
cross-over cable can be used to connect switch, hub or end  
nodes without any hassle.

2.2.4 Status LEDs

and each port has two status LED indicators, as shown below.

2.3.1 Power Connector  
The Power Connector is designed to be use with the power cord  
included in the product package. Attach the female end of the  
cord to the power connector and the male end of the cord to a  
grounded power outlet. The accepted power range is from  
100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60Hz.

Note:  
The Switch is a power-required device, it means, the  
Switch will not work until it is powered. If your networked  
PCs will need to transmit data all the time, please con-  
sider use an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your  
Switch. It will prevent you from network data loss.  
In some area, installing a surge suppression device may  
also help to protect your Switch from being damaged by  
unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power  
adapter.

3. INSTALLATION  
The Switch do NOT require software configuration. Users can  
immediately use any of the features of this product simply by  
attaching the cables and turning on the power.  
To get the best use of these Switch models, many things need  
to be considered first. See Section 4. OPTIMIZING  
CONFIGURATION for details.  
3.1 Rack-Mount Installation  
Most users prefer to attach the power cord to the hub before  
installation in a network rack. Do not plug the other end of the  
cord into a power outlet until after the hub is installed.  
For mounting the Switch in a network rack, first attach the  
rack-mount brackets to the side of the hub with screws. (Both  
brackets and screws are included in the product package.) Slide  
the hub into the rack and align the holes in the bracket with the  
corresponding holes in the network rack. Attach the bracket to  
the rack with the enclosed screws.  
3.2 Desktop Installation  
To locate the Switch on a desktop, first attach the four rubber  
feet to the bottom of the hub, one in each corner. Place the hub  
on a clean, flat desk or tabletop close to a power outlet. Make  
sure there is no hindrance behind the fan of the hub  
Plug in all network connections, and then turn the switch on via  
plug in the power cord.

4. OPTIMIZING CONFIGURATION  
4.1 Prior to Installation  
Before installing the Switch models and connecting network  
devices, it is important to plan the new network layout. Consider:  
w
Dedicated Bandwidth: File servers and other  
high-traffic hardware can improve if they have their own  
direct connection with dedicated 10 or 100Mbps band-  
width.  
w
w
w
Full-Duplex: Determine which devices would benefit  
from a Full Duplex connection and check that they  
support it.  
Fast Ethernet: 100Base-TX and 100Base-FX have  
different rules for cable and distance. Make sure these  
are followed.  
Auto-Negotiation: Devices with different speeds may  
be easily swapped when the other end of the cable is  
fixed to a port with auto-negotiation.  
4.2 Half- and Full-Duplex  
The Switch supports both Half- and Full-Duplex modes for  
10Base-T and 100Base-TX. Half-Duplex mode is the traditional  
data transfer mode: one station sends data while other devices  
wait for the first to finish.  
Full-Duplex is the simultaneous transmission and receiving of  
data. It is only possible between two devices with a dedicated  
link (e.g., switch-to-switch, switch-to-PC). Both of the devices  
must be capable of, and set to, Full-Duplex.  
100Base-TX ports use auto-negotiation to detect and set the  
line's operating mode.  
- 9 -  
 
4.3 Fast Ethernet  
100Base-TX and 100Base-FX are called "Fast Ethernet." This  
is because they use the Ethernet CSMA/CD access rules and  
data packet structure, but data travels ten times faster  
(100Mbps) than traditional 10Mbps Ethernet.  
Below is a list of the cable types and connectors that supported  
by Switch for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX.

4.4 Auto-Negotiation  
The 100Base-TX ports on the Switch have built-in  
"Auto-Negotiation". This technology automatically sets the best  
possible bandwidth when a connection is established with an-  
other network device (usually at Power On or Reset). This is  
done by detect the mode and speed at the second device is  
capable of. The 100Base-TX devices can connect with the  
100Base-TX port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode.  
If attached device is:  
100Base-TX port will set to:

Table E: Speed & Duplex mode detected by the switch  
4.5 MAC Address Table  
This 6-byte ID is called the MAC (Media Access Control) Ad-  
dress. Every Ethernet data packet includes both source and  
destination addresses.  
These Switch models can automatically learn and store up to 4K  
MAC addresses. The MAC address table is volatile: it disap-  
pears when the switch is powered off or reset.  
Note: When the network needs reconfiguration, we  
recommend turning off the power first. After all  
nodes have been moved, power on the switch to  
rebuild the internal MAC address table.

4.6 Sample Application  
The optimal application for the Switch, no matter with the ex-  
tension module or not, is as a "big pipe" backbone  
interconnecting file servers with bandwidth-hungry workgroups,  
departments, and offices.  
In the figure, the FNSW-3200 links to another hubs Uplink  
(MDI-II) port, some ports connect to 100Mbps Workstations,  
and attached to file servers at 200Mbps.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING  
This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If  
Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Ethernet  
Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual.  
The Link LED is not lit  
Solution:  
Check the cable connection and remove duplex mode of  
the Switch.  
Some stations can not talk to other stations located on The  
other port  
Solution:  
The address table may contain older information than of the  
address table of that node. Please power down to refresh  
the address information.  
Performance is bad  
Solution:  
Check the full duplex status of the Ethernet Switch. If the  
Ethernet Switch is set to full duplex and the partner is set to  
half duplex, then the performance will be poor.

7. RJ-45 PIN ASSIGNMENT  
When connecting your FNSW-3200 10/100Mbps Ethernet  
Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or  
crossover cable is necessary. Each port of the Switch supports  
auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you can directly con-  
nect the Switch to any Ethernet devices without making a  
crossover cable.  
The following table and diagram show the standard RJ-45 re-  
ceptacle/ connector and their pin assignments:
