CHAPTER 1
ABOUT THE
TIGERACCESS EE SWITCH
Overview
This Ethernet-over-VDSL system consists of end-user CPEs (Customer
Premise Equipment) connected to a VDSL switch by standard telephone
cable. The VDSL connection delivers an Ethernet data link while
simultaneously supporting standard telephone services. The system can be
deployed in any multi-dwelling/multi-tenant environment (apartment
blocks, hotels, or office complex) to provide both high-speed Internet
access and telephone services without any need for re-wiring.
The VDSL switch has a built-in POTS splitter that combines both the data
and phone signals coming from your Internet and telephone service
providers, and passes these signals directly over standard telephone wiring
to multiple users in the same building. A CPE is then used to separate
these signals and pass them on to a customer’s computer and telephone
equipment. Using the pre-defined profiles, in-building connections can
operate up to 100 Mbps upstream and downstream for runs up to 200
meters (656 ft).
Note: Type-1 26 AWG (100 ohm)/0.4 mm, or Type-2 24 AWG (100

ohm)/0.5 mm cable may be installed to achieve the maximum
distance. However, typically 24 AWG (100 ohm)/0.5 mm wire
provides better performance than 26 AWG (100 ohm)/0.4 mm wire.
Note the distance may be limited by factors such as how the cable is
bundled, and the interference and noise on the link.

1-1

ABOUT THE TIGERACCESS EE SWITCH
The VDSL switch is typically located in a wiring closet or other central
location of a multi-dwelling/multi-tenant unit, campus or enterprise. An
Internet connection is provided from the ISP to the customer’s building
over fiber optic cable, running Ethernet directly over a 1 Gbps connection.
(Trunking both uplink ports together can provide a 2 Gbps connection.)
This kind of WAN connection is referred to as fiber To The Building
(FTTB). The data and phone signals for each user are combined in the
switch, and passed over VDSL lines to individual customers.
The CPE at the other end of the VDSL line connects to any PC or
Macintosh equipped with a 10/100BASE-TX network interface card. Your
existing telephone, modem, or fax machine simply plugs into the CPE’s
phone port. There is no need for special terminators or filters. In fact,
there is no need to modify your wiring at all. Since the VDSL connection is
based on Ethernet, no further complex software configurations are
required.

OVERVIEW
VDSL Technology
VDSL2 (Very High Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line) is at the high-end of
all the DSL technologies, offering the best combination of fiber optic and
copper to provide high-speed broadband Internet access. VDSL’s primary
application is in providing a broadband data service to multi-tenant
residential or commercial buildings. In this implementation, fiber optic
cable carries data from an Internet Service Provider to the building; then
the installed telephone copper wires take the data and deliver it to
individual units within that building.

Figure 1-1 VDSL Application
VDSL provides high-speed Internet access over existing phone lines by
making use of previously unused frequency bandwidth above the voice
band (i.e., up to 30 MHz with VDSL2). By placing VDSL signals above the
frequency of the voice signal, a VDSL service can coexist on the same line
as other telephone services. VDSL can operate symmetrically, providing the
same data rate in both directions, or asymmetrically, providing a higher data
rate in the downstream (receive) direction than in the upstream (transmit)
direction.

1-3

ABOUT THE TIGERACCESS EE SWITCH
VDSL can deliver high-performance online applications, such as
high-quality video and other switched multimedia services. This
Ethernet-over-VDSL system provides robust performance, with a
maximum symmetric data rate of 100 Mbps for runs up to 200 meters
(656 ft). This system is based on advanced VDSL2 Multi-Carrier
Modulation (MCM) technology with adaptive channel equalization that
overcomes bridge taps and other line distortions. Reed-Solomon Forward
Error Correction and interleaving protect against errors due to impulse
noise and enable recovery from signal interruptions. Frequency Division
Duplexing (FDD) separates downstream and upstream channels and
allows VDSL signals to coexist with regular telephone services. A power
back-off mechanism is also implemented to reduce noise from crosstalk in
line bundles.

Switch Architecture
The VDSL Switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric.
This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low
latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all
ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
For communications between different VLANs, this switch uses IP
routing. For communications within the same VLAN, the switch uses
store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With
store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be received into a
buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents
errors from being propagated throughout the network.

Network Management Options
This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance”
monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management
agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its
embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage
the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port
(out-of-band), or you can manage the switch through a network

1-4

DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE
connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or
SNMP-based network management software.
The management port provides a dedicated management channel that
operates outside of the data transport network. This makes it possible to
re-configure or troubleshoot the switch over either a local or remote
connection when access via the data channel is not possible or deemed
insecure.
For a detailed description of the switch’s advanced features, refer to the
Management Guide.

Description of Hardware
This device is an intelligent Layer 2 VDSL2 switch with 16 VDSL ports for
subscriber access to the data network, and two Gigabit Ethernet
combination ports* for uplink traffic. The uplink ports are implemented as
10/100/1000BASE-T ports shared with SFP transceiver slots (see Figure
1-1, Ports 17-18). The switch also includes one 10/100BASE-TX port for
dedicated management access (which can be operated outside the data
channel).
The VDSL switch combines data and voice signals for delivery over
standard telephone cable to multiple users in residential or commercial
buildings. Ethernet data signals are received on the switch uplink port(s)
and passed to the 16 VDSL ports on the front panel via 16 internal
Ethernet ports.

*

If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port (17 or 18) is disabled.

Figure 1-2 Front and Rear Panels

RJ-21 Ports
The RJ-21 ports on the switch front panel support 16 twisted-pair
connections. The “Line” port connects to end-user CPEs through a
punch-down box. The “POTS” port connects to the local PBX or directly
to telephone lines from the CO.

1000BASE-T Ports
The switch contains two Gigabit RJ-45 ports shared with alternate Small
Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. The 1000BASE-T RJ-45
ports operate at 10/100 Mbps, half/full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full
duplex. Because all of the RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X
operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections
to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin
Assignments” on page B-3.)
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum
transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000
Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these
ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that
port can be configured manually.

1-6

DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE
Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch
can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.
Note: If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and

has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled.

SFP Slots
The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with
RJ-45 ports (ports 17~18). In its default configuration, if an SFP
transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link
on its port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The
switch can also be configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot,
as required.

1000BASE-SX (SMCBGSLCX1)
1000BASE-LX (SMCBGLLCX1)
1000BASE-ZX (SMCBGZLCX1)

Note that 1000BASE-SX transceivers use multimode duplex fiber cable,
1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX transceivers use single-mode duplex
fiber cable.

Management Port
The 100BASE-TX port labeled “Mgmt” provides a dedicated management
interface which is segregated from the data traffic crossing the other ports.
This port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum data rate and
transmission mode (10/100 Mbps at half/full duplex) can be selected
automatically, if this feature is also supported by the attached device.
However, note that the interface connection parameters of this port
cannot be configured.

1-7

ABOUT THE TIGERACCESS EE SWITCH
Console Port
The console port on the switch’s front panel is a DB-9 connector that
enables a connection to a terminal for performing switch monitoring and
configuration functions. The terminal may be a PC or workstation running
terminal emulation software, or a terminal configured as a Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) connection. A null-modem wired serial cable is
supplied with the switch for connecting to this interface.

Ethernet-over-VDSL CPE (Optional Equipment)
The VDSL switch is designed to connect to the RJ-11 VDSL Line port on
a CPE. The CPE provides users with a high-speed Internet connection via
the RJ-45 Ethernet port and a standard telephone connection via the
RJ-11 phone jack.

Port and System Status LEDs
The switch includes key system and port indicators that simplify
installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on
the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the

NETWORK PLANNING
Introduction to Switching
A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via
non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more
efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been
recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s
networking technology.
When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the network
access point (such as the network card for a high-volume file server), the
device experiencing congestion (server or power user) can be attached
directly to a switched port. And, by using full-duplex mode, the bandwidth
to the end-user can be doubled to maximize throughput.
A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet network to significantly
boost bandwidth while using conventional cabling and network cards.

Application Examples
VDSL provides significant savings on network installation, equipment and
service fees. Internet services operate over existing phone cabling and a
minimal amount of network equipment. The only changes require
installing a VDSL CPE for each client, and a VDSL switch in the basement
or wiring closet. Internet service can then be provided over a direct Ethernet
connection from your ISP. For non-commercial environments, you can run
the switch through a broadband router at the customer’s site. This will
allow you to use a single-user account and ISP sharing to significantly
reduce network access charges.

2-1

NETWORK PLANNING
This VDSL switch provides Internet connections of up to 100 Mbps
symmetric, or an asymmetric 100 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps
upstream over 200 meters. Cable distances also can run up to 1.5 km at
lower transmission rates. Installation is extremely economical for
multiple-tenant dwellings such as apartment buildings, hotels or school
dormitories, as well as commercial buildings.
VDSL provides multiple-user access to the Internet with benefits
including:
•

Internet services such as e-mail over faster connections than currently
possible with other options such as cable modem or ADSL

•

Multimedia applications such as video and virtual gaming made
available to the broader public for the first time

•

Access to corporate intranets at speeds close to that available in the
office

•

Both local network applications and Internet services are supported
for commercial environments

Internet Connections
The figure below shows a VDSL switch providing a broadband data
service to a multi-tenant residential or commercial building. In this
implementation, fiber optic cable carries data from a telephone company’s
central office to the building; then the installed telephone copper wires
take the data and deliver it to individual units within that building.

Remote Connections with Fiber Cable
Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type.
A 1000BASE-SX MMF Gigabit link can connect to a site up to 550m
away, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 10 km, and a 1000BASE-ZX link
up to 70 km. This allows end-users at two sites to use the same Internet
connection, share server resources, and communicate with each other.
In the figure below, a 1000BASE-SX port on the switch in Building 1 is
providing 1000 Mbps connectivity to the switch in Building 2.

Making VLAN Connections
This switch supports VLANs which can be used to organize any group of
network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine
broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast
storms in large networks. This provides a more secure and cleaner network
environment.
VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly
tagged to identify the VLAN group to which it belongs. Untagged VLANs

2-3

NETWORK PLANNING
can be used for small networks attached to a single switch. However,
tagged VLANs should be used for larger networks, and all the VLANs
assigned to the inter-switch links.
This switch also has a Private VLAN feature. This allows modification of
the default VLAN to provide port-based security and isolation between
ports within the VLAN. Data traffic on these ports can only be forwarded
to, and from, the uplink port. Private VLANs and normal VLANs can
exist simultaneously within the same switch.
In the figure below, ports 1-5 are connected to four end users and a server
in a normal VLAN configuration. The remaining ports are configured into
a private VLAN.

APPLICATION NOTES

Application Notes
1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as
when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch).
When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in
half-duplex mode.
2. To interconnect distinct VLANs or IP subnets, you can attach the
switch to a standard Layer 3 router. For network applications that
require routing between dissimilar network types, you can attach the
switch directly to a router.
3. As a general rule the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched
link should not exceed:
•

1000BASE-SX: 550 m (1805 ft) for multimode fiber.

•

1000BASE-LX: 5 km (3.2 miles) for single-mode fiber.

•

1000BASE-ZX: 70 km (43 miles) for single-mode fiber.

However, power budget constraints must also be considered when
calculating the maximum cable length for your specific environment.

CHAPTER 3
INSTALLING THE SWITCH
Preparing the Site for VDSL/POTS Connections
In multi-tenant buildings, phone lines from the service provider enter the
site and are terminated at a location referred to as the MPOE (Minimum
Point of Entry). The MPOE is the “demarcation” point where the service
provider’s cables end and that of the building’s owner/customer begins.
An MPOE typically consists of two sets of punch-down blocks; one from
the service provider, and the other from the customer. The customer’s
punch-down blocks are connected to PBX or MDF equipment in the
building. A PBX may have either analog or digital cards that provide the
phone lines to individual end users. The PBX lines are usually connected
to the end users through another set of punch-down blocks or patch
panels. The following figure displays the normal wiring before installing
the VDSL switch.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH
Installing Additional Equipment
The VDSL switch should be installed close to the PBX, punch-down
blocks, and patch panels, usually in the basement or wiring closet. You may
also want to install a rack for distribution equipment (switches, routers
etc.), and extra punch-down blocks or patch panels for flexibility and
future applications or expansion.
An optional patch panel can be used to connect the circuits between the
switch and the punch-down blocks. If a patch panel is not used, the switch
connects directly to the PBX for the incoming phone lines and the
punch-down block used for the VDSL lines running up to the end users.
In this case, the punch-down blocks must have an RJ-21 connector.

Verifying Site Requirement
Before you start installing the switch, make sure you can provide the right
operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical
space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. Be
sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.

3-2

INSTALLING ETHERNET CABLING
• The site should:
- be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power
outlet.
- be out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with a
high amount of electromagnetic interference. The temperature should
be within 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F) and its humidity within 5% to 95%,
non-condensing.
- be located in a cool dry place, and have adequate space (approximately
ten centimeters or four inches) on all sides for proper air flow
- be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices
- allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible
• Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines,
fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference,
such as radios and transmitters.
• Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet
that provides 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%), 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz), is within 2
m (6.6 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit
breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is
recommended.

Installing Ethernet Cabling
To ensure proper operation when installing switches into a network, make
sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or
1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current
installation of your network:
• Cable type should be unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted
pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for
10BASE-T, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5, 5e or
6 for 1000BASE-T.

3-3

INSTALLING THE SWITCH
• Protection from radio frequency interference emissions
• Electrical surge suppression
• Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and
electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring
• Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields

repair.

Optional Rack-Mounting Equipment
If you plan to rack-mount the switch, be sure to have the following
equipment available:
• Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install in a rack—these
are not included
• A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used)

Mounting
The switch may be mounted on any flat surface, such as a shelf, or in a
rack. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.

Rack Mounting
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following
factors:
• Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be
higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the
rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating
temperature range. (See page C-2.)
• Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a
rack-mounted unit.
• Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly
is not overloaded.
• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the mains.

To install an SFP transceiver, do the following:
1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate
SFP transceiver type.
2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and
the slot connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed
so they can only be installed in the correct orientation.
3. Slide the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.
Note: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to
be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver.
However, always first disconnect the network cable before
removing a transceiver.

3-8

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
Note: SFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package.

Connecting to a Power Source
To connect a device to a power source:
1. First verify that the external AC power supply can provide 100 to 240
VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1 A minimum.
2. Plug the power cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source.
Note: For international use, you may need to change the AC line
cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for
the socket type in your country.
3. Insert the plug on the other end of the power directly into the socket
located on the front of the switch.

4. Check the front-panel LEDs as the switch is powered on to be sure
the Power LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly
plugged in. The switch will automatically select the setting that
matches the connected input voltage. Therefore, no additional
adjustments are necessary when connecting it to any input voltage
within the range marked on the front panel.
Notes: 1. The switch performs a self-diagnostic test upon power-on.
2. The unit supports a “hot remove” feature which permits you to
connect or disconnect network cables without powering off the unit

CHAPTER 4
MAKING NETWORK
CONNECTIONS
The TigerAccess EE Switch is designed to connect subscriber ports via
VDSL lines, and uplink to the service provider’s network via twisted-pair
or fiber optic cabling. The uplink ports can be connected to network cards
in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. The dedicated
management port is designed for local configuration access outside of the
data network.

Connecting RJ-21 Cables
For incoming phone lines, a switch can connect directly to a PBX or can
be connected via a punch-down block or patch panel. The particular
connection method used will depend on the type of connectors and cables
supported on the PBX, and on the existing cabling in the building.
The RJ-21 cables from the switch are connected to the punch-down block
that connects the phone lines and run up to the end users.
For all connections to the switch, cables with standard Telco RJ-21
connectors must be used. Some punch-down blocks and panels can be
pre-wired with an RJ-21 connector, making the connection simple.
Otherwise, a cable with an RJ-21 on one end and free wiring on the other
end will be required.
Note: RJ-21 Cable is Type-1 26 AWG (100 ohm)/0.4 mm, or Type-2 24
AWG (100 ohm)/0.5 mm cable with male RJ-21 connectors at

4-1

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS
each end. Typically 24 AWG (100 ohm)/0.5 mm wire provides
better performance than 26 AWG (100 ohm)/0.5 mm wire.

Connecting to the Punch-down Blocks
The switch connects directly to the PBX and building’s phone-line
punch-down block with RJ-21 connectors. Follow the steps listed below to
connect the switch.
1. Connect one RJ-21 cable from the PBX/MDF to the RJ-21 connector
on the rear of the switch labeled “POTS.”
2. Connect another RJ-21 cable from the punch-down block to the RJ-21
connector on the rear of the switch labeled “VDSL.” Note that the
connection to the punch down block usually requires punching down
the free wires from the RJ-21 cable.
The RJ-21 ports on punch-down blocks must be wired to match the pin
assignments of ports on the back of the switch. To ensure that your cables
are properly wired, refer to “RJ-21 Port Pin Assignments” on page B-8.
Note: If you are using a patch panel, connect the RJ-21 ports on the back
of the switch directly to the corresponding ports on the patch
panel, and then manually wire each pair (up to 16) from the patch
panel to the punch-down blocks.

CONNECTING RJ-21 CABLES
Using Patch Panels
Follow the steps below to connect a VDSL switch to a building’s
phone-line system using a patch panel:
1. Connect an RJ-21 cable from the patch panel to the RJ-21 connectors
on the rear of the switch labeled “VDSL.” If connecting to a pre-wired
patch-panel with an RJ-21 connector, use a cable with RJ-21
connectors on both ends, otherwise a cable with free wires at one end
will have to be punched down to the back of the patch panel.
2. Connect each port on the front of the patch panel to one end-user
phone-line connection. This connection can be direct to the building’s
phone-line punch-down block or via another patch-panel.
3. Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting.

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Connecting Twisted-Pair Devices
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45
connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T
connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and
Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T connections.

Cabling Guidelines
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout
configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables
to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or
hubs). See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This
will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform to FCC standards.

Network Wiring Connections
Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable to an available uplink port on the
switch in the wiring closet, and the other end to the Internet Service
Provider’s network equipment.

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Connecting Fiber Optic Devices
An optional SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or
1000BASE-ZX) can be used for a backbone connection to your Internet
Service Provider, or for connecting to a high-speed server.
Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber
optic cable with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic
port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling
with an LC connector at both ends. 1000BASE-SX/LX/ZX uses duplex
fiber, operating at a frequency of 1310 nm for both transmit and receive
signals.
Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic
cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a
Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal
operation. However, you should never look directly at a
transmit port when it is powered on.
Note: When selecting a fiber SFP device, considering safety, please make
sure that it can function at a temperature that is not less than the
recommended maximum operational temperature of the product.
You must also use an approved Laser Class 1 SFP transceiver.
1. Remove and keep the LC port’s rubber cover. When not connected to
a fiber cable, the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the optics.
2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable
plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball
moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber cables
will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and
lead to degraded performance on the port.

4-6

CONNECTIVITY RULES
3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the
other end to the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are
keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.

corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid.
The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX fiber optic ports
operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. All of these SFP modules also support
auto-negotiation of flow control. The maximum length for fiber optic
cable depends on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet Cable Lengths” on page 4-8.

Connectivity Rules
When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the
connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. However,
note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into
separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected
cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS
1000BASE-T Cable Requirements
All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections
should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are
connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or
any new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or
Category 6 cable should be used. The Category 5e specification includes
test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5. Therefore,
the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running
1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it
complies with the IEEE 802.3-2005 standards.

MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Cable Labeling and Connection Records
When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing
ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will
enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and
change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.
To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow
these guidelines:

4-10

•

Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.

•

Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all
network-connected equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify
the devices to which it is connected.

•

Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length
supported by the switch ports.

•

For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning
prefixes to your cable labeling.

•

Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same
equipment.

•

Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly.

•

Label each separate piece of equipment.

•

Display a copy of your equipment map, including keys to all
abbreviations at each equipment rack.

POWER AND COOLING PROBLEMS

Power and Cooling Problems
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in,
you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal
power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while,
check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power
outlet, and verify that the fans on the unit are unobstructed and running
prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the internal
power supply may be defective.

Installation
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or
more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or
network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure
that all the other components are functioning properly.

In-Band Access
You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within
the attached network using Telnet, Secure Shell, a web browser, or other
network management software such as SMC EliteView. However, you
must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management
agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify
that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through
which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not
been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your
remote location and the switch.
Also, note that the switch may be configured to prevent management
access from a connection through the data ports (1-16). Refer to the
Management Guide for detailed information on this configuration option.

APPENDIX B
CABLES
Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments
For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have
two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable
must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different
colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with
white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of
the cable.
Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a
specific orientation.
Caution: DO NOT plug an RJ-11 connector into any RJ-45 port. Use
only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform
with FCC standards.
Figure B-1 illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered.
Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the
wires to the pins.

CABLES
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable
for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps
connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps
connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection
does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet)
All RJ-45 ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,
so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs
or servers, or to other switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1,
2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins
1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the cable. When using any RJ-45 port on
this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable.

the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running
1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it
complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.

Cable Testing for Existing Category 5 Cable
Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End
Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable testing
information is specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard.
Additionally, cables must also pass test parameters for Return Loss and
Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These tests are specified in the
ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional Transmission
Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”
Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch
cables between switches and end devices.

Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T
If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test
parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be
applied to try and correct the problem:
1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category
5e or Category 6 cables.
2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.
3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.

FIBER STANDARDS

Fiber Standards
The current TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) 568-A
specification on optical fiber cabling consists of one recognized cable type
for horizontal subsystems and two cable types for backbone subsystems.
Horizontal 62.5/125 micron multimode (two fibers per outlet).
Backbone 62.5/125 micron multimode or single mode.
TIA 568-B will allow the use of 50/125 micron multimode optical fiber in
both the horizontal and backbone in addition to the types listed above. All
optical fiber components and installation practices must meet applicable
building and safety codes.

Auto-Negotiation
Signalling method allowing each node to select its optimum operational
mode (e.g., 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and half or full duplex) based on the
capabilities of the node to which it is connected.

Glossary-1

GLOSSARY
Bandwidth
The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for
network signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the
data transmission along the cable.
Collision
A condition in which packets transmitted over the cable interfere with each
other. Their interference makes both signals unintelligible.
Collision Domain
Single CSMA/CD LAN segment.
Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)
Terminating equipment, such as terminals, phones, and routers, supplied
by the phone company, installed at customer sites, and connected to the
phone company network.
CSMA/CD
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) is the
communication method employed by Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit
Ethernet.
End Station
A workstation, server, or other device that does not forward traffic.
Ethernet
A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC,
Intel, and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical
bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard
provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer
and media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin
coax and twisted-pair cable.

Glossary-2

GLOSSARY
Fast Ethernet
A 100 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the
CSMA/CD access method.
Fibre To The Home (FTTH)
Network where an optical fibre runs from the telephone switch to the
subscriber's premises or home.
Full Duplex
Transmission method that allows two network devices to transmit and
receive concurrently, effectively doubling the bandwidth of that link.
Gigabit Ethernet
A 1000 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the
CSMA/CD access method.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
IEEE 802.3
Defines carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD)
access method and physical layer specifications.
IEEE 802.3ab
Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)
IEEE 802.3u
Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for
100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)

Glossary-3

GLOSSARY

Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for
1000BASE Gigabit Ethernet. (Now incorporated in IEEE 802.3-2005.)
LAN Segment
Separate LAN or collision domain.
Layer 2
Data Link layer in the ISO 7-Layer Data Communications Protocol. This
is related directly to the hardware interface for network devices and passes
on traffic based on MAC addresses.
LED
Light emitting diode used for monitoring a device or network condition.
Local Area Network (LAN)
A group of interconnected computer and support devices.
Main Distribution Frame (MDF)
The hardware at a facility where external and internal lines terminate and
are cross connected.
Management Information Base (MIB)
An acronym for Management Information Base. It is a set of database
objects that contains information about the device.

Glossary-4

GLOSSARY
Media Access Control (MAC)
A portion of the networking protocol that governs access to the
transmission medium, facilitating the exchange of data between network
nodes.
Modal Bandwidth
Bandwidth for multimode fiber is referred to as modal bandwidth because
it varies with the modal field (or core diameter) of the fiber. Modal
bandwidth is specified in units of MHz per km, which indicates the
amount of bandwidth supported by the fiber for a one km distance.
MTU
Multiple Tenant Units
Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)
One of the services using voice band. Sometimes used as a descriptor for
all voice band services.
Private Branch Exchange (PBX)
A telephone exchange local to a particular organization who use, rather
than provide, telephone services.
RJ-45 Connector
A connector for twisted-pair wiring.
Splitter
A filter to separate DSL signals from POTS signals to prevent mutual
interference.
Switched Ports
Ports that are on separate collision domains or LAN segments.

Glossary-5

GLOSSARY
TIA
Telecommunications Industry Association
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Protocol suite that includes TCP as the primary transport protocol, and IP
as the network layer protocol.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
UDP provides a datagram mode for packet-switched communications. It

uses IP as the underlying transport mechanism to provide access to IP-like
services. UDP packets are delivered just like IP packets – connection-less
datagrams that may be discarded before reaching their targets. UDP is
useful when TCP would be too complex, too slow, or just unnecessary.
UTP
Unshielded twisted-pair cable.
Very high data rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL)
A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high
speed data communication at data rates from below 1 Mbps to 52.8 Mbps
with corresponding maximum reach ranging from 4500 feet to 1000 feet
using 24 gauge twisted pair cable over the existing copper telephone lines
between end-users and service providers.
Very high data rate Digital Subscriber Line 2 (VDSL2)
VDSL2 as defined in ITU-T Recommendation G.993.2 is an enhancement
to the first VDSL standard (G.993.1). It supports transmission at a
bi-directional net data rate (the sum of upstream and downstream rates) of
up to 200 Mbps on twisted pair cables using a bandwidth of up to 30 MHz.
VDSL2 includes many enhancements, one of which is the addition of the
US0 band and methods to train echo cancellers and time domain
equalizers.

Glossary-6

GLOSSARY
Virtual LAN (VLAN)
A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same
collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point
in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no physical
barriers, allowing users to share information and resources as though
located on the same LAN.
