Chapter 1. Introduction

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. Expensive routing

equipment was used in the past to reduce the congestion

under heavy loads.

The new wave of object-oriented client and server

applications demands higher bandwidth and tighter

integration of client work stations with servers. The old

shared-access Ethernet technology provides neither

enough bandwidth nor predictable response time for this

new wave of workgroup computing.

Fast Ethernet switching not only satisfies both technical

and business requirements, but also preserves the user’s

existing investment in the huge 10BASE-T Ethernet

installed base.

This compatibility ensures a path for users to add, change,

and migrate to Fast Ethernet as demands emerge. It also

provides a low cost and flexible bandwidth solution directly

to local workgroups where the majority of work is

generated, reducing the need for expensive network

equipment.

NOVASwitch Series

Eight Ports Fiber-Optic Ethernet Switch

The FNSW-8088F has eight multi-mode fiber ports. And

for FNSW-8086F, it has 6-port 100BASE-FX ports and 2-

port 10/100BASE-TX ports.

This switch makes it possible to join a 100Mbps Fast

Ethernet network to an existing 10Mbps Ethernet network

(FNSW-8086F). Its internal cache buffers the traffic from

the higher bandwidth 100Mbps segment to the 10Mbps

segment. If you later decide to make both segments

100Mbps Fast Ethernet, the ports of the switch will

automatically sense the change and adjust to 100Mbps

operation.

In addition to the benefits of integrating 10Mbps and

100Mbps networks through TP ports, this switch is also

useful for segmenting networks that is bogged down with

excess traffic as a fiber-optic switching backbone. By

splitting a network into several segments and bridging

them, you can cut the traffic load on your network and

reduce collisions on each segment, especially if you can

minimize intersegment traffic by placing users and devices

that normally talk to each other on the same segment.

This switch fully complies with IEEE802.3u, 100BASE-TX,

100BASE-FX, and IEEE802.3, 10BASE-T standards. It

features "wire-speed”switching mechanisms as well as

the ability to filter local traffic, collisions, and error packets

to maximize network performance.

This eight-port switch also facilitates an affordable and

efficient migration path to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and can

continue to enhance your network's performance even if

FNSW-8086 / 8088F User's Manual 7

you upgrade your existing network with standard Ethernet

applications, internetworking systems and client-side

adapters to minimize migration costs.

Product Features

This eight-port switch provides the following features:

♦ FNSW-8088F provide eight 100BASE-FX switching

ports (ST Interface)

♦ FNSW-8086F provide two-port 10/100BASE-TX,

with six-port 100BASE-FX for multiple choice of TP

wiring

♦ Full-duplex support on each port (default) for up to

2Km wiring

♦ DIP Switch for Full- and Half-Duplex setting on

Fiber ports.

♦ Designed in compliance with IEEE 802.3,

10BASE-T and IEEE802.3u, 100BASE-TX and

100BASE-FX standards.

♦ Comprehensive array of LED indicators that

communicate the status of the switch and

troubleshooting information.

♦ Dynamic learning mode that automatically adjusts

to the network configuration.

♦ Runt and CRC filtering eliminates erroneous

packets to optimize network bandwidth.

♦ Full compatibility with standard Ethernet

applications, internetworking systems and

client-side adapters to minimize migration costs.

Front Panel

The front panel of the switch has eight ports and an array

of LED indicators to provide you with instant feedback on

the status of the switch.

Ports

Ports of this switch are capable of accepting 100BASE-FX

with ST interface connections. For FNSW-8086F, the two

TP ports support 10/100BASE-TX with Cat. 3, 4, 5

(100Mbps) twisted pairs connection.

FNSW-8086 / 8088F User's Manual 9

When connects to a 100BASE-TX network, the ports

operate at 100Mbps in half-duplex mode and 200Mbps in

full-duplex mode. When connects to a 10BASE-T network,

the ports operate at 10Mbps in half-duplex mode and

20Mbps in full-duplex mode. With the fiber-optic port ,

when it connects to a 100BASE-FX network, the ports

operate at 100Mbps in half-duplex mode and 200Mbps in

full-duplex mode (default).

The maximum range of a 100BASE-TX network

connected to the switch is 100 meters with Category 5

shielded twisted-pair and unshielded twisted-pair

(STP/UTP) cable. A 10BASE-T network may range up to

100 meters with Category 3, 4, or 5 STP/UTP cable.

As for the length of FX fiber link between a switch and

Data Terminal Equipment, FX is capable to span at most 2

Kilometers using 62.5/125-micron fiber-optic cable.

specifications for this switch.

LED Indication

The array of LED indicators on the front panel conveys

status and configuration information to help you monitor

and troubleshoot the switch.

nPort Status

Each port has an array of three LEDs to show status

information. The LEDs are identified by a corresponding

array of captions located below the LEDs on the front

panel.

LNK/ACT: The link indicator is the top-left LED. it is

illuminated whenever the port is connected

to another working networked device.

The LED flashes when the port is

transmitting or receiving data.

100: The middle LED shines whenever the

switch detects that the corresponding port

is connected to a 100BASE-TX or

100BASE-FX segment.
