Chapter 1 Introduction In today’s society, communication and sharing information are essential to our lifestyle. Computer networks have proven to be one of the fastest methods of communication. The FM2008/2009 switches are compact desktop-sized switches that are an ideal solution for the SOHO (Small Office or Home Of- fice) network user. They provide a full wire-speed, Fast Ethernet switching function that allows a high-performance, low-cost connec- tion. Each switch features store-and-forward switching and can auto-learn and store source addresses on an 8K-entry MAC ad- dress table. The switches provide 8 switched, auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports. Each switch will automatically detect the speed of the device(s) connected to it, allowing the use of both 10 and 100Mbps legacy devices. The 10Mbps bandwidth will accommodate 10Mbps workgroup hubs while simultaneously providing the 100Mbps bandwidth needed to accommodate multimedia applica- tions. In addition, each RJ-45 port supports Auto MDI/MDIX func- tion. The FM2009 switch also provides one 100Base-FX fiber port. Four types of fiber connectors are available: SC, MT-RJ, VF-45 (multi- mode), and SC (single-mode). The fiber port can be used to con- nect to a remote site up to 2 kilometers (multi-mode) or 15–60 kilo- meters (SC single-mode) away. With its built-in Web-based Management, managing and configur- ing the switch is easy: From cabinet management to port-level con- trol and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your

ing command strings. However, the switch can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or SNMP Management.

Managing the switch in this method requires a direct connection between the computer and the switch, while Telnet management is done over the network. Once the switch is on the network, you can use Telnet to log in and change the configuration. Note: The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.1, and the default user name AND password is root. Web-based Management The switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory. It offers advanced management features and allows users to manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. SNMP Network Management SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and control network device, and to manage configura- tions, statistic collection, performance, and security.

except that there is no fiber uplink port. The front panel of the switch consists of 8 auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports (automatic MDI/MDIX), one 100Base-FX fiber port, and the LED indicators. Four types of fiber connectors are available for the fiber port: SC, SC single-mode, MT-RJ, and VF-45. LED Indicators The fiber port has two LED indicators (Link/Activity, Full Duplex), and each UTP port has three LED indicators (100Mbps, Link/ Activity, Full Duplex). The following table provides descriptions of the LEDs’ statuses and meanings. These LEDs provide a real-time indication of systematic operation status.
