Quick Installation v
Quick Installation
The SwitcHub-2s contains 2 Ethernet ports, each of which supports 100BASE-TX
or 10BASE-T connections, operating at full or half-duplex. The smart design
built into the front display panel and configure options, provides a friendly
interface that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. If you are
already familiar with basic network operations, you should be able to install this
switch as described below:
1. Unpack the SwitcHub-2s.
2. Find a location close to the network devices you need to connect, and within
easy reach of an electrical outlet.
3. Connect workstations or servers to the MDI-X station ports.
4. Connect to other hubs via the MDI port.
5. Set the transmission mode for each port to full or half-duplex.
6. Verify network communications by ensuring that -
• you have made all the necessary connections
• you can access any connected resources
• the hub’s indicator LEDs are functioning properly
Note: For devices connected directly to either port on the switch, it will
automatically detect transmission speed (10/100 Mbps). However, unless
the connected devices are operating at half-duplex (i.e., system default), you
will have to manually set the transmission mode via the configure button.
(Refer to Full/Half Duplex Mode Selection in Chapter 2).
If you encounter any problems in installing the SwitcHub-2s, refer to Chapter 3 for
a detailed description of installation procedures, or to Appendix A for help in
troubleshooting.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Switching Technology
The Ethernet Switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via
an internal high-speed data channel. This means that it can partition a network
more efficiently than bridges or routers in most environments. The Ethernet
Switch is therefore fast being recognized as one of the most important building
blocks for today’s networking technology.
The learning function in the switching hub stores the address and
corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing packet in a routing
table. This information is subsequently used to filter packets whose destination
address is on the same segment as the source address. This confines network
traffic to its respective domain, reducing the overall load on the network.
The switch scans the destination address from the packet header, searches the
routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet only if
required, often before fully received. This fast forwarding makes the switch
attractive for connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing
throughput and availability. However, the switch is most commonly used to
segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall performance. A
switching hub can be easily configured in any Ethernet network to significantly
boost bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.
