Example 2. ES-CUTP-8
The ES-CUTP-8 fits very well in a small business, classroom or lab experiencing a need to scale
its LAN quickly and cost effectively. With its half/full duplex switching capability, the ES-CUTP-8 provides
a very economical high bandwidth solution at each copper port. The dual-speed functions support a
mixed environment of 10Mbps and 100Mbps users, and the switching full/half duplex capability on all
eight ports provides bandwidth for high performance. The uplink on Port #1 enables easy expansion.
Figure 2.6.1: Two ES-CUTP-8 connected together to provide 10Mbps and100Mbps network with
Fast Ethernet backbone.
In this example, two of the ES-CUTP-8 switches cascaded together to serve a small office with
multi-servers, print server, Internet access and mixed-speed requirements. The users operate at
100Mbps as well as at 10Mbps, and utility devices (such as print servers) run at 10Mbps. High
performance users need a high bandwidth uplink for access to a central LAN and central file servers.
Any attached node can change speed at any time without affecting network operation or impacting other
users.
3.0 INSTALLATION
This chapter provides instructions for installing ES-series units.
3.1
Location of the Switch
The location of the switch is dependent on the physical layout of the network. The enclosed
compact housing makes it ideal to be conveniently mounted on a wall in an office, classroom or lab area.
It can also be mounted or set on a shelf, desk or table.
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended switch location. The
rugged metal enclosure of the switch will normally protect it from accidental damage in a classroom, lab
or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front surface to visually monitor the status LEDs.
3.2
Connecting Ethernet Media
The switch can be connected to 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T and 100BASE-FX. CAT5 cables
should be used when making 100BASE-TX connections. When the ports are used as 10BASE-T ports,
CAT3 may be used. In either case, the maximum distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100
meters (328 ft). For fiber port 100BASE-FX multi-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns cabling can be
used. Fiber cabling supports much longer cable distance and higher bandwidths as compared to copper
wiring.
