Switches Versus Hubs
Chapter 4: Installing the
The Gigabit Ethernet Switch boosts your network performance several times
over, conserving your time, money and resources. The Switch’s feature gives
you a key advantage over other forms of networking by upgrading speed-criti-
cal network segments to 1000Mbps while allowing existing 10BaseT and
100BaseTX networks to operate with the Switch. Allowing 10BaseT and
100BaseTX hardware speeds to run alongside each other eliminates the need to
purchase new hardware, rewire, and reconfigure an entire site all at once. This
ensures that Fast Ethernet will not fall obsolete to upgrades in speed standards
and maintains use of all your old equipment until you decide to buy speedier
replacements.
EtherFast® Gigabit Ethernet
Switches
Overview
Installing the EtherFast® Gigabit Ethernet Switch may involve installing both
an adapter and the Gigabit Ethernet Switch. If you are integrating these items
into an existing nework, some additional steps may be necessary involving set-
tings for your existing equipment. Consult your network administrator for
more information about how the Gigabit Ethernet Switch will interface with
your existing network components.
Switches also feature full-duplex data transfer, meaning that all computers on
the Switch can “talk” to the Switch at the same time. Plus, switches can send
and receive data simultaneously to all connections, whereas a hub cannot. A
hub simply works with one computer at a time and only sends or receives data,
since it cannot handle two-way communication.
Installing the Gigabit Ethernet Switches
The Switch’s front panel has eight or twelve RJ-45 ports. Each 10/100/1000
port automatically detects the speed and duplex of the attached cabling to a net-
work card, switch, hub, etc. The ports operate in either full or half duplex,
which lets you run at speeds of 2000Mbps, 200Mbps, 100Mbps, or 10Mbps.
In addition to full-duplex transfer, the Switch provides your network with ded-
icated bandwidth to each node. For instance, if you connect eight computers to
the EtherFast 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, then each computer will get a
dedicated bandwidth of 2000Mbps at full duplex transfer. If you run eight
computers from a 100Mbps hub, then each computer will share only a part of
the 100Mbps bandwidth.
Each 10/100/1000 port on your Switch can connect to workstations, file
servers, hubs, repeaters, bridges, routers or other switches. Connections to the
switch require Category 5 Ethernet network cabling (Category 5e for Gigabit
connections.
A network without a switch is called a shared network because every node on
the network competes for a fraction of the total bandwidth. In a shared network,
data packets are randomly broadcasted to all stations until they discover their
intended destination. Consequently, considerable time and bandwidth is wast-
ed on data packets swimming along network lines before they find their correct
address. A switch, on the other hand, looks at the address for each data packet
and delivers it directly to the correct destination.
To connect a computer directly to the Switch, plug one end of a standard net-
work cable into the switch, and then plug the other end of the cable into the
computer’s network adapter.
Connecting Your Hardware Together and Booting Up
Plug in the Gigabit Ethernet Switch’s power cable. The Power LED will light
up. As devices make connections to the Switch’s ports, each port’s correspon-
ding FDX or ACT LED will light up. The remaining LEDs will also light up
according to how your connection is made, e.g. full or half duplex, 10Mbps,
100Mbps, or 1000Mbps.
Gigabit Ethernet is ideal for deployment as a backbone interconnect, and as a
connection to high-performance servers. With the addition of Gigabit Ethernet,
Ethernet delivers scalable solution (10/100/1000 Mbps) for the LAN from the
desktop to the workgroup, and the backbone.
If the Switch experiences excessive data collisions, verify that your network
cabling is securely crimped and installed properly.

Tips on Switching Your Network
Tips on Switching Your Network
Appendix A: Twisted-Pair Cabling
Here are some of the ways the new EtherFast® 8-Port or 12-Port Gigabit
Ethernet Switch can help you optimize your network speed.
There are different grades, or categories, of twisted-pair cabling. Category 5 is
the most reliable and is highly recommended. Straight-through cables are used
for connecting computers to a hub or switch. Crossover cables are used for con-
necting a hub or switch to another hub or switch (there is an exception: some
hubs and switches have a built-in uplink port that is crossed internally; this
allows you to link or connect hubs or switches together with a straight-through
cable instead).
• Speed up Nodes from Your 10BaseT Network
In a 10BaseT network, connect your hubs, file servers, and key users, such as
network administrators, directly to your Switch to channel dedicated bandwidth
in full-duplex mode (if operating in full-duplex) to each station. The Switch
will have dedicated communication with all its connections simultaneously,
whereas a hub will only communicate in half-duplex transfer mode and broad-
casts information to all ports.
You can buy pre-made Category 5 or
5e cabling, or cut and crimp your own.
Category 5 or 5e cables can be pur-
chased or crimped as either straight-
• Conserving Bandwidth with 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps Segments
through or crossover. Inside
a
10BaseT and 100BaseTX hardware are not readily compatible, but the Switch
can designate network segments of different speeds. This allows you to run one
100Mbps segment to serve users without a need for considerable speed, and a
faster 1000Mbps segment devoted to users who depend heavily on graphics,
multimedia, database, or other speed-intensive applications. With switched
segmentation, your 1000Mbps users will not be slowed down by the users on
the 10/100Mbps segment.
Category 5 or 5e cable are eight thin,
color-coded wires that run from one
end of the cable to the other. All eight
wires are used. In a straight-through
cable, wires 1, 2, 3, and 6 at one end of
the cable are also wires 1, 2, 3, and 6
at the other end. In a crossover cable,
the order of the wires change from one
end to the other: wire 1 becomes 3,
and 2 becomes 6. See the diagrams on
the next page for more
• Run 10/100Mbps Peripherals in a 1000Mbps Network
Most of the network peripherals in place today run at 10/100Mbps, since
100BaseTX has been the standard network speed to date. These peripherals,
designed to operate at 100Mbps, cannot readily communicate with
1000BaseTX equipment. A 10Mbps interface is also required for cable and
DSL connections, which are quickly becoming very popular ways to access the
Internet. The Switch provides your 10BaseT equipment and cable and DSL
lines with a 10Mbps interface while still running your Fast Ethernet devices at
100Mbps or your Gigabit devices at 1000Mbps.
detailed information on
straight-through and
crossover cabling.
To determine which wire is wire number 1, hold the cable so
that the end of the plastic RJ-45 connector (the part that goes
into a wall jack first) is facing away from you. Face the clip
down so that the copper side faces up (the springy clip will
now be parallel to the floor).When looking down on the cop-
per side, wire 1 will be on the far left.
• Strengthen Data Transfers through Signal Regeneration
The Switch functions as a repeater, which regenerates data signals as they pass
through it. This feature acts as a safeguard to deter data loss and ensure that
transmissions arrive at their destination intact. Switches positioned between
hubs can preserve your data’s integrity and eliminate your need to buy and use
repeaters in your Fast Ethernet or Gigabit network.

Crimping Your Own Network Cables
Appendix B: Glossary
10BaseT - An Ethernet standard that uses twisted wire pairs.
100BaseTX - IEEE physical layer specification for 100 Mbps over two pairs of
Category 5 UTP or STP wire.
1000BASE-T - Provides half-duplex (CSMA/CD) and full-duplex 1000Mbps
Ethernet service over Category 5e links as defined by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A.
Topology rules for 1000BASE-T are the same as those used for 100BASE-TX.
Category 5e link lengths are limited to 100 meters by the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-
A cabling standard. Only one CSMA/CD repeater will be allowed in a collision
domain.
Adapter - Printed circuit board that plugs into a PC to add to capabilities or
connectivity to a PC. In a networked environment, a network interface card
(NIC) is the typical adapter that allows the PC or server to connect to the
intranet and/or Internet.
Auto-MDI/MDIX - On a network hub or switch, an auto-MDI/MDIX port
automatically senses if it needs to act as a MDI or MDIX port. The auto-
MDI/MDIX capability eliminates the need for crossover cables.
Auto-Sensing - To automatically determine the correct settings. The term is
often used with communications and networking. For example, Ethernet
10/100 cards, hubs and switches can determine the highest speed of the node
they are connected to and adjust their transmission rate accordingly.
Backbone - The part of a network that connects most of the systems and net-
works together and handles the most data.
Bandwidth - The transmission capacity of a given facility, in terms of how
much data the facility can transmit in a fixed amount of time; expressed in bits
per second (bps).
CAT 3 - ANSI/EIA (American National Standards Institute/Electronic
Industries Association) Standard 568 is one of several standards that specify
“categories” (the singular is commonly referred to as “CAT”) of twisted pair
cabling systems (wires, junctions, and connectors) in terms of the data rates
that they can sustain. CAT 3 cable has a maximum throughput of 16 Mbps and
is usually utilized for 10BaseT networks.

CAT 5 - ANSI/EIA (American National Standards Institute/Electronic
Industries Association) Standard 568 is one of several standards that specify
“categories” (the singular is commonly referred to as “CAT”) of twisted pair
cabling systems (wires, junctions, and connectors) in terms of the data rates
that they can sustain. CAT 5 cable has a maximum throughput of 100 Mbps
and is usually utilized for 100BaseTX networks.
Hub - The device that serves as the central location for attaching wires from
workstations. Can be passive, where there is no amplication of the signals; or
active, where the hubs are used like repeaters to provide an extension of the
cable that connects to a workstation.
IEEE - The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The IEEE
describes itself as “the world’s largest technical professional society – promot-
ing the development and application of electrotechnology and allied sciences
for the benefit of humanity, the advancement of the profession, and the well-
being of our members.”
CAT 5e - The additional cabling performance parameters of return loss and far-
end crosstalk (FEXT) specified for 1000BASE-T and not specified for
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX are related to differences in the signaling imple-
mentation. 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX signaling is unidirectional-signals
are transmitted in one direction on a single wire pair. In contrast, Gigabit
Ethernet is bi-directional-signals are transmitted simultaneously in both direc-
tions on the same wire pair; that is, both the transmit and receive pair occupy
the same wire pair .
The IEEE fosters the development of standards that often become national and
international standards. The organization publishes a number of journals, has
many local chapters, and several large societies in special areas, such as the
IEEE Computer Society.
Data Packet - One frame in a packet-switched message. Most data communi-
cations is based on dividing the transmitted message into packets. For example,
an Ethernet packet can be from 64 to 1518 bytes in length.
LAN - A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated
devices that share a common communications line and typically share the
resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area (for
example, within an office building).
Dynamic Routing - The ability for a router to forward data via a different route
based on the current conditions of the communications circuits. For example, it
can adjust for overloaded traffic or failing lines and is much more flexible than
static routing, which uses a fixed forwarding path.
Latency - The time delay between when the first bit of a packet is received and
the last bit is forwarded.
Ethernet - IEEE standard network protocol that specifies how data is placed on
and retrieved from a common transmission medium. Has a transfer rate of 10
Mbps. Forms the underlying transport vehicle used by several upper-level proto-
cols, including TCP/IP and XNS.
MAC (Media Access Control) Address - A unique number assigned by the
manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such as a network adapter,
that allows the network to identify it at the hardware level.
Mbps (Megabits Per Second) - One million bits per second; unit of measure-
ment for data transmission.
Fast Ethernet - A 100 Mbps technology based on the 10BASE-T Ethernet
CSMA/CD network access method.
MDI (Medium Dependent Interface) - On a network hub or switch, a MDI
port, also known as an uplink port, connects to another hub or switch using a
straight-through cable. To connect a MDI port to a computer, use a crossover
cable.
Full Duplex - The ability of a device or line to transmit data simultaneously in
both directions.
Half Duplex - Data transmission that can occur in two directions over a single
line, but only one direction at a time.
MDIX (Medium Dependent Interface Crossed) - On a network hub or switch,
a MDIX port connects to a computer using a straight-through cable. To connect
a MDIX port to another hub or switch, use a crossover cable.
Hardware - Hardware is the physical aspect of computers, telecommunications,
and other information technology devices. The term arose as a way to distinguish
the “box” and the electronic circuitry and components of a computer from the pro-
gram you put in it to make it do things. The program came to be known as the soft-
ware.
Network - A system that transmits any combination of voice, video and/or data
between users.

wiring. Twisted pair is the ordinary copper wire that connects home and many
business computers to the telephone company. To reduce crosstalk or electro-
magnetic induction between pairs of wires, two insulated copper wires are
twisted around each other. Each signal on twisted pair requires both wires.
Since some telephone sets or desktop locations require multiple connections,
twisted pair is sometimes installed in two or more pairs, all within a single
cable.
