Product Overview  
Introduction  
Windows Remote Management software  
Conventionally, configuring a switch's smart management will require users to attach the computer  
(serial or printer port) directly to the switch's console port. With ECOM-ES24F2G's in-band  
management capability, users can configure the switch through the Ethernet network. The included  
Windows management software provides a very simple point-and-click interface to set all the  
functions. Users can even backup settings to be restored in the future. Best of all, the management  
utility can configure several switches using the same utility.  
Management Features  
The ECOM-ES24F2G is equipped with many practical management functions.  
Per-port bandwidth control  
allow limiting the outgoing and incoming bandwidth separately for each port .  
Central Switch management:  
Configure several switches at the same time.  
802.1Q tag VLAN  
enables VLAN assignment across different switches.  
VLAN filter  
provide controls to let single-cast, multi-cast, or broadcast traffic to pass between  
VLANs.  
Quality of Service  
for multimedia applications: the 802.1p compliance provide priority traffic  
management based on port, vlan-tag, or TCP/IP TOS information.  
Link aggregation  
The LACP(Link Aggregation Control Protocol) increase the uplink speed by allowing  
several ports(Trunk Group) to link between the switches. The switch allows up to 7  
trunk groups in 2 or 4 ports. Please make sure that switches on both side are setup for  
the trunking function.  
IGMP Snooping  
for IP multicast group management

Authentication Keys  
The switch support authentication key feature for the management function. This will  
prevent unauthorized users from changing the switch’s settings.  
For Detail information on management functions, please refer to Chapter 5 “Management  
Software Guide”.  
In-Band and Out-of-Band Management  
In-Band and Out-of-Band managements are the two distinct methods for switch management.  
In-Band management that includes WinSmart, Web, Telnet, and SNMP allows users to configure  
the switch through the Ethernet network.  
Out-of-Band management means managing the switch outside of the switch’s Ethernet network.  
Console Port management is the most common type of out-of-band management. Out-of-Band  
management requires the switch to be physically attached to a computer through a RS-232, USB, or  
Parallel port.  
The ECOM-ES24F2G is equipped with WinSmart In-band management. It uses the unique RRCP  
protocol that enables the included Windows utility to manage the switch inside the LAN. However;  
since it does not use IP protocol, it cannot be managed remotely from the Internet.  
What is VLAN?  
Defining VLAN  
What is VLAN? Since VLAN solutions and implementations are still very vendor-specific, to define  
precisely what VLANs will certainly arouse controversy. Nevertheless, most would agree that a  
VLAN can roughly be equated as a broadcast domain. More specifically, VLANs can be seen as a  
group of end stations, perhaps on multiple physical LAN segments, which are not constrained by  
their physical location and can communicate as if they were on a common LAN.  
There are several ways to define VLAN membership: port grouping, frame tagging, MAC-layer  
grouping, network-layer grouping, IP multicast grouping, etc. ECOM-ES24F2G utilizes  
port-grouping (port-based VLAN) for the implementation of VLAN in your network.

1 Product Overview  
Port-based VLAN  
ECOM-ES24F2G Fast Ethernet Switch fulfills the initial VLAN implementation as defining  
VLAN membership by groups of switch ports. Port grouping is the most common method of  
defining VLAN membership, and its configuration is straightforward. But, when a user moves from  
one port to another, it takes a network manager to manually reconfigure VLAN membership.  
With manual VLAN configuration, both the initial setup and all subsequent moves and changes are  
controlled by the network administrator, enabling a high degree of control. Also moving users  
manually with VLANs may actually be easier than moving users across router subnets.  
Table Maintenance via Signaling  
When an end-station broadcasts its first frame, the switch resolves the end-station’s attached port  
with its VLAN membership in cached address tables. As VLAN membership changes, these address  
tables can be manually updated by a system administrator at a management console.  
802.1q VLAN Standard  
In March, 1996, the IEEE 802.1 Internet-working Subcommittee completed the initial phase of  
investigation for developing a VLAN standard. The standard, known as 802.1Q, represents a major  
milestone in enabling VLANs to be implemented. Since the rapid deployment of LAN switching  
from around 1995, the shift toward LAN switching as a replacement for local/departmental routers,  
or even shared media devices (hubs) is just accelerating for now.  
What is Priority Queuing?  
Priority Queuing is a method of ensuring that high priority traffic gets delivered efficiently, even  
when during bursts of high traffic load. In this way, traffic such as voice data and video (services  
which are streaming) are prioritized, helping steady picture and sound quality.  
ECOM-ES24F2G allows 2-level (High/Normal) Priority setting by any of the three types of  
priority frames operations: TCP/IP TOS, VLAN tag or per Port priority frame operation.  
The QoS setting for priority per port means that all packets received by the port will be priority  
frames; ECOM-ES24F2G can also judge the priority of frames by checking the specific bits of  
VLAN tag or TCP/IP TOS/DS included in the frame format. ECOM-ES24F2G will judge the  
priority of frames by checking the specific bits recorded in the type field of packet format to ensure  
the VLAN or TCP/IP TOS/DS status of packets, then set the threshold of VLAN or TCP/IP TOS/DS  
to declare the priority of packet.  
If you have any plans to implement network telephony or any sort of video conferencing, streaming  
video/audio or any real-time applications on your network you will need ECOM-ES24F2G for  
priority queuing. Its benefit is to dramatically improve the quality of priority services on the network.  
If priority queuing is not implemented then the quality of these services will depend entirely on the  
loads on your network. If network traffic is high, the service will not work properly.

The distance between the RJ-45 port and the standard network interface should not exceed 100  
meters.  
Adequate space should be allowed in front of all the ports, so that each port is easily accessible  
for cable connections.  
Cabling Guide  
For 100BASE-TX and 1000Base-T ports  
The 24 10/100Mbps and 2 Gigabit station ports require Cat. 5 twisted-pair UTP/STP cable for  
connection. When configuring within the 10/100BASE-TX cabling architecture, the cable distance  
should be within 100m.  
The following table summarizes the cable requirement for 10/100/1000BASE-T connection:  
10BASE-T

Making your own UTP/STP cable  
The twisted-pair cable provided an eight-pin plug at each end that mate with the twisted-pair port on  
the adapter and with a RJ-45 wall jack. If you are marking your own interface cables to use as  
dedicated network wiring or as extension cables, please follow the guideline below:  
Each UTP/STP cable contains eight wires in either 568A or  
568B color scheme (please see Fig 2-7). The wires are  
twisted in pairs to reduce cross talk and various signal  
noises.  
Each pairs composed of one positive wire and one negative  
wire. The positive are marked by stripe color while the  
negative are marked by solid color. A pair of wires is  
composed of one stripe and one solid wire of the same color.  
There are four pairs of wires, they are in group of {1 and 2},  
{3 and 6},{4 and 5},{7 and 8}. Please see Fig 2-8 for  
diagram.  
When making a cable, make sure the correct pairs of wire are  
twisted together before inserting into the jack. Incorrect  
twisted pair will cause the cable to malfunction or signal  
degradation over short distance.  
Fig 2-3 Twisted Pair  
Color Scheme  
A straight-thru cable have jacks on both end following  
the same color scheme.  
A cross-over cable have jacks on both end following the  
opposite color scheme (one 568A and one 568B)  
While 10/100Base-TX only use the first 2 pairs of wires  
(1+2, 3+6). However, please still make sure all 4 pairs  
are twisted and insert into the jack in correct order.  
The 1000Base-T Gigabit port use all 4-pairs of wires.  
Fig 2-4 Pair Wires  
Connecting to Power  
ECOM-ES24F2G Fast Ethernet Switch features a universal auto-select power supply unit, which  
allows a power connection to a wide range of input voltages from 90 to 240VAC @ 50 ~ 60Hz.  
To establish its power connection, simply plug the female end of the power cord into the power  
connector on the rear of the switch and the male end of the power cord into a suitable power outlet.

Appendix B Troubleshooting  
This appendix contains specific information to help you identify and solve problems.  
If your switch does not function properly, please make sure it is set up according to  
the instructions on the manual.  
If you suspect your switch is not connected correctly to your network, check the  
following points before you contact your local dealer for support.  
Make sure the Power is ON (Check the Power LED).  
Make sure the cable is connected properly on both ends.  
Make sure that the maximum cable length between switch and end node  
does not exceed 100 meters (for 10/100/1000BASE-T connection).  
Make sure that the maximum switch-to-hub/switch cable distance does not  
exceed 100 meters (for 10/100/1000BASE-T connection).  
Verify that the cabling type used is correct.  
Check the corresponding Link/Act, FDX/Col, 100M, 1000M for signs of  
faulty connection. Check the status of the cable attachment. If the problem  
persists, try a different cable.  
Try another port on the Switch.  
Turn off power supply to the Switch. After a while, turn it on again to see if  
it resumes to its normal function.  
If you find out where the problem is but cannot solve it by yourself, or you  
simply cannot locate what is at fault, please contact your local dealer for  
technical support.
