Preface  
Benefits of Switching  
Ethernet switching technology has dramatically boosted the total  
bandwidth of a network. It puts configuration flexibility and bandwidth  
adaptability into the local workgroups where the majority of work is  
generated.  
It further eliminates congestion problems inherent to the CSMA/CD  
protocol and improves predictable response time under heavy network  
loads. In the past, expensive routing equipment was used to reduce the  
congestion under heavy loads. Now, high performance switch gear is  
affordable and available in the compact, desktop units.

Network Application  
Hardware Description  
This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the  
Switch is used. The Pro-Switch/8F is designed to be used as a backbone  
switch. With its large address table (4000 MAC address), Fiber ports, and  
high performance, it is ideal for connecting WANS to LAN network  
segments.  
This Section describes the hardware of the Pro-Switch/8F and gives a  
physical and functional overview of its features.  
The Front Panel  
The front panel consists of (8) fiber ports, DIP switches, and LED  
Indicators.  
You can use the Pro-Switch/8F to connect multiple floors of a building or  
even multiple buildings via the fiber optic ports. The switch automatically  
learns node addresses, which are subsequently used to filter and forward  
all traffic based on the destination address. The distance between two  
switches via fiber cable can be up to 2 km (Multi-Mode) or 15 km (Single  
Mode).

The maximum range of an FX fiber link between a switch and another  
device is up to 2 Km. using Multi-mode, 62.5/125µ fiber-optic cable or  
up to 75 Kilometers using Single, 10/125-µ fiber optic cable.

DIP-Switch Setup  
Power On  
The DIP-switch is used to configure full- or Half-duplex switching. The DIP-  
switch setup is as follows:  
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the  
Switch. The other side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The  
internal power supply in the Switch works with AC in the voltage range 100-  
240VAC, frequency 50~60Hz. Check the power indicator on the front panel  
to see if power is properly supplied.  
Position Description  
UP:  
Enables Full-Duplex Operation for 100Based-FX ports (default)  
DOWN: Enables Half-Duplex Operation for 100Based-FX ports

Included with the Pro-Switch/8F are brackets allowing the switch to be  
mounted in a standard EIA-sized, 19-inch rack. The Switch can be placed  
in a wiring closet with other equipment.  
Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch:  
A. Align one bracket with the holes on one side of the switch and secure  
it with the small bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to  
the other side of the Switch.  
The LED Indicators gives real-time information of systematic operation  
status. The following table provides descriptions of LED status and their  
meanings.

Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4” ( 10 cm ) of clearance at the front  
and 3.4” ( 8 cm ) at the back of the Switch. This is especially important for  
an enclosed rack installation.

Connecting to Power  
General Installation  
This chapter presents step-by-step installation instructions for this eight-  
port Ethernet Switch.  
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of the switch,  
and then plug the cord into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100  
to 250 VAC.  
Selecting a Site for the Switch  
As with any electronic device, you should place the Switch where it will not  
be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic  
interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following  
requirements:  
• The room temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees  
Fahrenheit (0˚- 40˚ Celsius).  
Figure 3. Rear panel view of Pro-Switch/8F  
Turn the switch on by flipping the ON/OFF switch on the rear of the unit to the I  
(ON) position. The O position is OFF.  
• The relative humidity should be less than 90%, non-condensing.  
• Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic  
field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.  
• Make sure that the switch receives adequate ventilation. Do not block  
the ventilation holes on the side of the switch or the fan exhaust port  
on the rear of the switch.  
• The power outlet should be within 1.8 meter (6 feet) of the switch.
