INTRODUCTION  
This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some  
background information about Ethernet/Fast  
Features  
The Switch was designed for easy installation and high  
performance in an environment where traffic on the network  
and the number of user increase continuously.  
The Switch with its small, compact size was specifically  
designed for small to middle workgroups. This Switch can be  
installed where space is limited; moreover, they provide  
immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide  
range of user-reliable functions.  
The Switch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed  
servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups.  
With the highest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex  
mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-  
free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.  
The Switch is expandable by cascading two or more switches  
together. As all ports support 200Mbps, the Switch can be  
cascaded from any port and to any number of switches.  
The Switch is a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to  
Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect  
to the Switch now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later  
without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the  
network.  
The Switch combine dynamic memory allocation with store-  
and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively  
allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow between  
7
 
the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible  
packet loss.  
The Switch is a managed 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch that  
offers solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup  
bandwidth. Other key features are:  
Auto-MDI function supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover  
detection function gives true ‘plug and play’ capability without  
the need of confusing crossover cables or crossover ports.  
Store and forward switching scheme capability. As the result  
of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this  
scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among  
segments.  
NWay Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-  
sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing you with  
automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections.  
Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped packets by  
sending out collision signals when the port’s receiving buffer is  
full. Note that flow control is only available in half duplex  
mode.  
Data filtering/forwarding rate is wire -speed for 10Mbps and  
100Mbps speed.  
4K MAC address entry table per device with self-learning for  
the Switch.  
128KBytes RAM buffer per device for the Switch.

UNPACKING AND SETUP  
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the  
Switches.  
Unpacking  
Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks  
its contents. The carton should contain the following items:  
One LevelOne 5/8 Port 10/100Mbps PalmCon Switch  
One external power adapter  
This User’s Guide  
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your  
local reseller for replacement.  
Setup  
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following  
steps:  
The surface must support at least 1.5 Kg for the Switch.  
The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the  
Switch.  
Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is  
fully secured to the power adapter.  
Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and  
adequate ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy  
objects on the Switch.

IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS  
This section identifies all the major external components of the  
hub. Both the front and rear panels are shown, followed by a  
description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is  
described in detail in the next chapter.

DC Power Jack:  
Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter.  
Check the technical specification section for information about  
the AC power input voltage.  
Since the switch does not include a power switch, plugging its  
power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power it  
on.  
Auto-MDI Jacks:  
These jacks supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover  
detection function gives true ‘plug and play’ capability without  
the need of confusing crossover cables or crossover ports.  
With the Auto-MDI function, you just need to plug-in the  
network cable to the hub directly and no need to care if the end  
node is NIC (Network Interface Card) or switches and hubs.  
LED Indicators  
Power Indicator (PWR)  
This indicator lights green when the hub is receiving power,  
otherwise, it is off.  
14  
 
Full-Duplex/Collision (Full-Duplex/Collision)  
This LED indicator light green when a respective port is in full  
duplex (FDX) mode. Otherwise, it is blinking when collisions  
are occurring on the respective port.  
Link/Activity (100M=green, 10M=amber)  
This indicator light green when the port is connected to a  
100Mbps Fast Ethernet station, if the indicator blinking green  
will be transmit or received data on the 100Mbps network.  
Otherwise, if the indicator light amber when the port is  
connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet station, if the indicator  
blinking amber will be transmit or received data on the 10Mbps  
network.

CONNECTING THE SWITCH  
This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast  
Ethernet network. In each of the following figures, the  
LevelOne 5/8 Port 10/100Mbps PalmCon Switch is shown.  
PC to Switch  
A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category  
3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cables. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45  
10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any of the 5/8  
ports.  
The LED indicators for PC connection dependent on the LAN  
card capabilities. If LED indicators are not light after making a  
proper connection, check the PC LAN card, the cable, the  
Switch conditions and connections.  
The following are LED indicator possibilities for a PC to  
Switch connection:  
1. The “100LINK/ACT,10LINK/ACT” LED indicator  
light green for hookup to 100Mbps speed or light  
amber for hookup to 10Mbps speed.  
2. The “Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator depends  
upon LAN card capabilities for full-duplex or half-  
duplex.

Hub to Switch  
A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the Switch  
via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable. The  
connection is accomplished from the hub to any of the Switch  
RJ-45 ports.  
A. 10BASE-T Hub  
For a 10BASE-T hub, the Switch LED indicators should light  
up as the following:  
“Full-Duplex/Collision” indicator is OFF.  
“100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT LED” indicator is light amber.  
B. 100BASE-TX Hub  
For a 100BASE-TX hub, the Switch LED indicators should  
light up as the following:  
“Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator is OFF.  
“100LINK/ACT,10LINK/ACT” LED indicator is light green.  
Switch to switch (other devices)  
The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices  
(routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP  
cable.  
1. The “100LINK/ACT,10LINK/ACT” LED indicator  
light green for hookup to 100Mbps speed or light  
amber for hookup to 10Mbps speed.  
2. The “Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator depends upon  
LAN card capabilities for full-duplex or half-duplex  
10  
 
Port Speed & Duplex Mode  
After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system  
uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode for  
any new twisted-pair connection:  
If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or  
has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto-sensing process is  
initiated to select the speed and set the duplex mode to half-  
duplex.
