Getting to Know Your Switch

Introduction
The Switch refers to all the following models unless a particular model is specified.

• XMG-105HP
• XMG-108
• XMG-108HP

The Switch is a 100 Mbps / 1/2.5/10 Gbps multi-port switch that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. The Switch is a store-and- forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The Switch is designed for workgroups, departments or backbone computing environments for small businesses. All models are referred to as the “Switch” in this guide. The following table describes the hardware features of the Switch by model.

Hardware Feature Comparison

PORT/SWITCH DETAILS| XMG- 105HP| XMG- 108| XMG- 108HP
---|---|---|---
100M/1G/2.5G Base-T Ethernet ports| 1| 8| 0
100M/1G/2.5G Base-T IEEE 802.3bt PoE ports| 4| 0| 8
1G/10G SFP+ port| 1| 1| 1
Desktop Device| Yes| Yes| Yes
Wall-mountable| Yes| Yes| Yes
Power Adapter| Yes| Yes| Yes
Power Cord| Yes| Yes| Yes

The PoE ports can supply power to the connected PoE powered devices (PDs). The SFP+ slot is for uplink connections. Use SFP+ transceivers in these slots for 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps connections to backbone Ethernet switches. The Switch has built-in loop detection. All connected port’s LED will fast blink green/yellow when it detects that packets sent out on that port loop back to the Switch. The Switch has built-in IEEE 802.1p CoS (Class of Service) feature that services queues based on priority only. As traffic comes into the Switch, traffic on the highest priority queue is transmitted first. When that queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority queue is transmitted until it empties, and then traffic is transmitted on the next queue and so on. If higher priority queues never empty, then traffic on lower priority queues never gets sent.

Features

The following are the essential features of the Switch.

• Conforms to IEEE 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3bz, 802.3z, 802.3ae, and 802.3x standards.

Multi-Gigabit
An 2.5 multi-gigabit port supports speeds of 2.5G if the connected device supports 2.5G and a Cat 5e (up to 100 m) is used. The speed drops to 1G if these criteria are not met; it drops to 100M if a Cat 5 cable is used (up to 100 m). Multi-Gigabit ports are also backward compatible with 100 Mbps and 1 Gigabit ports.

Multi-Gigabit Application

See the following table for the cables required and distance limitation to attain the corresponding speed.

Cable Types

CABLE| TRANSMISSION SPEED| MAXIMUM DISTANCE| BANDWIDTH CAPACITY
---|---|---|---
Category 5| 100M| 100 m| 100 MHz
Category 5e| 1G / 2.5G| 100 m| 100 MHz

PoE
The Switch is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) because it provides a source of power through its Ethernet ports. Each device that receives power through an Ethernet port is a Powered Device (PD). The Switch can adjust the power supplied to each PD according to the PoE standard the PD supports.

PoE standards are:

• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) +
• IEEE 802.3bt Power over Ethernet (PoE) ++

The following table describes the PoE features of the Switch by model.

Example Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments. Note that the Switch in the figure is just an example Switch and not your actual Switch.

PoE Example Application
The following example figure shows a Switch supplying PoE (Power over Ethernet) to Powered Devices (PDs) such as an IP camera, a wireless router, an IP telephone and a general outdoor router that are not within reach of a power outlet.

Powered Device Example

Backbone Example Application
The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future. The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and servers directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch. In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers, and so on.

Backbone Application

Bridging or Fiber Optic Uplink Example Application
In this example, the Switch connects different company departments (RD and Sales) to the corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers through the Switch. You can provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a multi-gigabit Ethernet or SFP+ port on the Switch.

Bridging Example Application

Hardware Installation and Connection

Installation Scenarios
This chapter shows you how to install and connect the Switch. See Table 1 on page 7 for a comparison of hardware features for each model. The Switch can be:

• Placed on a desktop.
• Wall-mounted on a wall.

See the following table for a comparison of the hardware installation methods of each Switch:
Mounting Methods

Safety Precautions
Please observe the following before using the Switch:

• It is recommended to ask an authorized technician to attach the Switch on a desk or to the wall. Use the proper screws to prevent damage to the Switch. See the Installation Requirements sections in this chapter to know the types of screws and screw drivers for each mounting method.
• Make sure there is at least 2 cm of clearance on the top and bottom of the Switch, and at least 5 cm of clearance on all four sides of the Switch. This allows air circulation for cooling.
• Do NOT block the ventilation holes nor store cables or power cords on the Switch. Allow clearance for the ventilation holes to prevent your Switch from overheating. This is especially crucial when your Switch does not have fans. Overheating could affect the performance of your Switch, or even damage it.
• The surface of the Switch could be hot when it is functioning. Do NOT put your hands on it. You may get burned. This could happen especially when you are using a fan less Switch.
• The Switches with fans are not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.

To start using the Switch, simply connect the power adapter to turn it on.

Freestanding Installation Procedure

• Make sure the Switch is clean and dry.
• Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
• Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These rubber feet help protect the Switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.

Attaching Rubber Feet Set the Switch on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the Switch and the connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.

Cautions:

• Avoid stacking fanless Switches to prevent overheating.
• Ensure enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation for cooling.
• Do NOT remove the rubber feet as it provides space for air circulation.

Wall Mounting
The Switch can be mounted on a wall (see Table 5 on page 12). You may need screw anchors if mounting on a concrete or brick wall. Do the following to mount your Switch on a wall. See Table 6 on page 13 for how far apart to place the screws.

Distance between the centers of the holes for wall mounting

Installation Requirements

• Distance above the floor: At least 1.8 m (5.9 feet)
• Two M4 screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver
• Two screw anchors (optional)

Screw Specifications for Wall Mounting

1. Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of the Switch.

2. Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.
   WARNING! Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall when drilling holes for the screws.

3. If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do NOT insert the screws all the way in – leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm. If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do NOT insert the screws all the way in – leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.

4. Make sure the screws are fastened well enough to hold the weight of the Switch with the connection cables.

5. Align the holes on the back of the Switch with the screws on the wall. Hang the Switch on the screws.
   Note: Make sure there is enough clearance between the wall and the Switch to allow ventilation.

WARNING: The Switch should be wall-mounted horizontally, and make sure the front panel is facing down. The Switch’s side panels with ventilation slots should not be facing up or down as this position is less safe.

Hardware Panels

This chapter describes the front panel and rear panel of the Switch and shows you how to make the hardware connections.

Front Panel Connections
You can use either crossover or straight-through cables for all the ports. Refer to Section Table 1 on page 7 for more information on hardware differences between models. The following figures show the front panels of the Switch.

XMG-105HP

XMG-108

XMG-108HP

You can use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) Ethernet cables for RJ-45 ports. The following table describes the types of network cable used for the different connection speeds.

Network Cable Types

TRANSMISSION SPEED| NETWORK CABLE TYPE| MAXIMUM DISTANCE| BANDWIDTH CAPACITY
---|---|---|---
100 Mbps| Category 5 UTP/STP| 100 m| 100 MHz
1 Gbps| Category 5e, 6 UTP/STP| 100 m| 100 MHz
2.5 Gbps| Category 5e, 6 UTP/STP| 100 m| 100 MHz

Multi-gigabit Ethernet Ports
The Switch has 2.5G Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In 100 Mbps / 1/2.5 Gbps multi-gigabit, the speed can be 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps and full duplex mode. The 100 Base-TX / 1G Base-T / 2.5G Base-T RJ-45 ports are auto-negotiating and auto-crossover. An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (100 Mbps / 1 Gbps / 2.5 Gbps) and duplex mode (full duplex) of the connected device. An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable. When auto-negotiation is turned on, an Ethernet port negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the Switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable. When the Switch’s auto-negotiation is turned off, an Ethernet port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, then requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer Ethernet port are the same in order to connect.

Auto-crossover
All ports support auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports (Media Dependent Interface Crossover), so you may use either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet cable for all multi-gigabit port connections. Auto- crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to function as crossover or straight ports, so crossover cables can connect both computers and switches or hubs.

SFP+ Slot
Refer to Section 1.1 on page 7 for more information on hardware differences between models. This is a slot for SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) module, such as an SFP transceiver. A transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver to connect a fiber optic cable to the Switch. The Switch does not come with a transceiver. You must use a transceiver that complies with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details. You can change transceiver while the Switch is operating. You can use a different transceiver to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber optic or even copper cable connectors.

• Type: SFP+ connection interface
• Connection speed: 1/10 Gbps

WARNING: To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber optic module’s connectors.
HANDLING: A transceiver is static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is recommended you attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface when you install or remove a transceiver.
STORAGE:   All modules are dust sensitive. When not in use, always keep the dust plug on. Avoid getting dust and other contaminant into the optical bores, as the optics do not work correctly when obstructed with dust.

Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install a transceiver.

1. Attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
2. Align the transceiver in front of the slot opening.
3. Make sure the latch is in the lock position (latch styles vary), then insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.
4. Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.
5. The Switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is functioning properly.
6. Remove the dust plugs from the transceiver and cables (dust plug styles vary).
7. Identify the signal transmission direction of the fiber optic cables and the transceiver. Insert the fiber optic cable into the transceiver.

Transceiver Removal
Use the following steps to remove an SFP transceiver.

1. Attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.

2. Remove the fiber optic cables from the transceiver.

3. Pull out the latch and down to unlock the transceiver (latch styles vary).
   Note: Make sure the transceiver’s latch is pushed all the way down, so the transceiver can be pulled out successfully.

4. Pull the latch, or use your thumb and index finger to grasp the tabs on both sides of the transceiver, and  carefully slide it out of the slot.
   Note: Do NOT pull the transceiver out by force. You could damage it. If the transceiver will not  slide out, grasp the tabs on both sides of the transceiver with a slight up or down motion and carefully slide it out of the slot. If unsuccessful, contact Zyxel Support to prevent damage to your Switch and transceiver.

5. Insert the dust plug into the ports on the transceiver and the cables.
