Model FS308 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide

Normal/Uplink Push Button

The Normal/Uplink push button on the front panel of the switch allows you to

select uplink (MDI) or normal (MDI-X) wiring for port 8 on the Model FS308

switch. These ports are configured for normal wiring to connect to a PC when

the push button is in the out position. When the push button is pressed in, these

ports are configured for uplink wiring to connect to another switch or to a hub,

using a straight-through twisted pair cable.

Rear Panel

The rear panel of the Model FS308 switch has eight autosensing 10/100 Mbps

Ethernet ports. The rear panel also has full-duplex (FDX) and auto-duplex

(AUTO) toggle switches and a power adapter receptacle for the supplied power

cord.

FDX/AUTO Duplex Toggle Switches

One full-duplex (FDX) and auto-duplex (AUTO) toggle switch is assigned to

each 10/100 Mbps port, enabling the communication mode to be set to either

full-duplex or auto-duplex mode. Full-duplex mode doubles throughput of

point-to-point connections by letting individual ports transmit and receive

concurrently when the connecting device also supports full-duplex mode.

Setting the toggle switch to AUTO on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to

determine duplex mode by coordinating with the remote port. In most cases, the

toggle switch should be set to AUTO. If the remote port is a repeater or hub or

cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its duplex capability, the port

defaults to half-duplex mode.

Set the port to full-duplex mode only if the remote device is full-duplex capable

but cannot provide the proper signal to indicate so.
