Introduction 

The 

Dyna-Switch/16

and 

Dyna-Switch/24

(Auto MDI/MDIX) are Fast

Ethernet switches that provide wire-speed, a Fast Ethernet switching
function which allows high-per formance, low-cost connections to Full-
duplex, Half-duplex, 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet networks. The
Switches are targeted at workgroup, depar tment, or backbone computing
environments in SME (small, medium enterprise) businesses.

These Switches provides auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 por ts
which automatically detect the speed of the device that you plug into them.
This switching function allows 10Mbps, 100Mbps, Full-duplex and Half-
duplex devices to communicate on the same network without having to
replace any infrastructure. This flexible feature allows your network a
timely, economical migration to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet.

Key Features

Automatic MDI/MDIX crossover for all por ts

N-Way Auto-negotiation for 10/100Mbps transmissions

Auto-MDIX suppor ted on all por ts

Store-and-For ward switching architecture

Auto-detection of full/half-duplex mode in all por ts

3.2Gbps switch backplane

Embedded 1.25Mbits memor y buffer

4K-entr y MAC address table

LED indicators for Power, Link/activity, and Full Duplex/Collision

19” Standard Rack Size

Conforms to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x standard

Troubleshooting

The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in
identifying problems. This section describes common problems you may
encounter and possible solutions.

Power

If the power indicator does not light when the power cord is plugged
in, you may have a problem with the power outlet or cord.  However, if
the power LED goes off after running for a while, check for loose power
connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. Turn off
power, wait 30 seconds and turn power on again.  If problem is still
not resolved, call for dealer’s assistance.

Cabling

Verify that the cabling type is correct.  Make sure all cable connectors
are securely seated in the required por ts.  Use only standard
Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP), Categor y 3, 4, 5, or 5e cables.  Use
only Categor y 5 or 5e when connecting with Fast Ethernet.  Make
cer tain the maximum distance between the Switch and what it’s
connected to is 100 meters or less.

NOTE:

Do not plug a standard telephone cord into an RJ-45 por t. 
This may damage the switch or phone system.
