Chapter 1: Introduction  
Congratulations on your purchase of the NetComm 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart  
Switch, available in either 16-Port or 24-Port models. This device integrates 1000Mbps Gigabit  
Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible  
package.  
In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) refers to your 16 or 24 Port 10/100/  
1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch, and “switch” (first letter lower case) refers to other  
Ethernet switches.  
This chapter describes the features of your new Switch and some background information about  
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switching technology.  
Gigabit Ethernet Technology  
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format,  
and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a  
tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase  
over 10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environ-  
ments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a company’s existing  
investment in hardware, software and trained personnel.  
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet is essential for coping with  
network bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and get faster and more applications  
generate more traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit  
Ethernet can greatly improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic  
between your subnets.  
Gigabit Ethernet enables fast ethernet connections to support video conferencing, complex imaging,  
and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast  
Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of  
operations in the same amount of time.  
In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective  
method to take advantage of today’s and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing  
internetworking technologies.

Switching Technology  
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of standard Ethernet technology is the development  
of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet  
protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.  
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local  
area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local area  
network into different segments, which don’t compete with each other for network transmission  
capacity.  
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. The switch,  
without interfering with any other segments, automatically forwards traffic that needs to go from one  
segment to another. By doing this the total network capacity is multiplied, while still maintaining the  
same network cabling and adapter cards.  
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network  
bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local  
area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively  
impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion  
problems.

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)  
A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can  
communicate as if a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary reason for using a VLAN is to  
reduce latency and the need for routers. Other VLAN benefits include:  
Security  
Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in  
eavesdropping on a broadcast network, because data will  
only be switched to those confidential users within the  
VLAN.  
Cost Reduction  
VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast  
domains, thus eliminating the need of expensive routers.  
Port-based (or port-group)  
Port-based is the common method of implementing a  
VLAN, and is the one supplied in the Switch.

Chapter 2: Installation  
The location where you install the switch stack may greatly affect its performance, therefore we  
suggest you consider the following before you install your switch:  
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable  
temperature and humidity operating ranges.  
Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors),  
vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.  
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.  
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size  
equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.  
When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each device.  
The rubber feet cushion the switch and protect the switch case from scratching.  
Rack Mounting  
The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring  
closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s front panel (one on each  
side), and secure them with the screws provided.  
Figure 1. Combine the Switch with the provided screws  
Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.

Figure 2. Mount the Switch in the rack  
Connecting Network Cable  
The Switch supports 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet that runs in Auto-negotiation mode, 10Mbps  
Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet that runs both in half and full duplex mode, and 1000Mbps  
Gigabit Ethernet that runs in full duplex mode using four pair of Category 5 Cable.  
Important Note:  
Some Category 5 cables are only prepared with two pairs (4 wires) of  
interconnection wires which are not suitable for Gigabit Ethernet over  
Category 5 cables.  
In order to use the full performance of this switch in Gigabit mode, please  
ensure that your cabling uses four pairs (8 wires). The switch’s RJ-45 ports  
are Auto-MDI and will auto negotiate between 10Mbps, 100Mbps and  
1000Mbps depending on the type of cable and connection. The Switch can  
auto transform to MDI-II or MDI-X, so there is no need to use cross-over  
cables or an up-link port.  
AC Power  
The Switch uses AC power 240V AC, 50 Hz. The power switch is located at the rear of the unit  
adjacent to the AC power connector and the system fan. The Switch may be turned on without  
having any or all LAN segment cables connected.

Mirror Setting  
Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic. Port Mirroring forwards a copy of each  
incoming and/or outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the  
packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if  
necessary.  
Configure port mirroring by assigning a source port from which to copy all packets and a sniffer port  
where those packets will be sent.  
The selection of the sniffer mode is as follow:  
RX (receive) mode: this mode will duplicate the data that send to the source and forward to the  
sniffer port.

Appendix B: Cable Connections  
This cable information is provided for your reference only. Please ensure you only connect the  
appropriate cable into the correct socket on either this product or your computer.  
If you are unsure about which cable to use or which socket to connect it to, please refer to the  
hardware installation section in this manual. If you are still not sure about cable connections, please  
contact a professional computer technician or NetComm for further advice.  
RJ-45 Ethernet Network ports  
For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T (10/100/1000BASE) connections, a twisted pair cable  
with four pairs (8 wires) and RJ-45 connectors must be used.  
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack into any RJ-45 port. Doing so could  
damage the switch. Use only twisted pair cables with RJ-45 connectors.  
RJ-45 plug  
attached to cable  
For twisted pair cables each pair is identified by two different colours. For example, one wire might  
be red, and the other red with a white stripe. An RJ-45 connector must be fitted to both ends of the  
cable.  
Depending on the type of connection, 10Mbps or 100Mbps, use the following Ethernet cable, as  
prescribed.  
10Mbps:  
Use EIA/TIA-568-100-Category 3, 4 or 5 cable.  
Use EIA/TIA-568-100-Category 5 cable.  
Use EIA/TIA-568-100-Category 5e cable.  
100Mbps:  
1000Mbps:  
The 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet standard uses all four pairs of the Cat 5e cable. Each pair is used to  
transmit and receive data simultaneously, known as Dual-Duplex transmission. Basically, this is a  
technique where it is possible to distinguish the direction a signal is travelling.  
Cat 5e cable is an enhanced version of Cat 5 for use with 1000 Base-T networks, or for long-distance  
100 Base-T links (350 m, compared with 100 m for Cat5). It must meet the EIA/TIA 568A-5  
specification.  
Note:  
To prevent loss of signal, make sure that the length of any twisted-pair  
connection does not exceed 100 meters.
