General
Information
Overview
This manual will help you install and maintain the
Amphenol Industrial Ethernet
Unmanaged switches
. These products are extremely easy to install and operate because
little or no user configuration is required. Once the Ethernet connections are made and the
unit is powered up it will immediately begin to operate.
Operation
Unlike an Ethernet hub that broadcasts all messages out all ports, these witches will
intelligently route Ethernet messages only out the appropriate port. The major benefits of
this are increased bandwidth and speed, reduction or elimination of message collisions, and
deterministic performance when tied with Unmanaged systems.
These switches support both 10BaseT (10 Mbps) and 100BaseTx (100 Mbps) on their
RJ45 ports. Each of these ports will independently auto-sense the speed, allowing you to
interface to regular or fast Ethernet devices. Some models also have 100BaseFX (100
Mbps) fiber optic port(s).
Refer to Section 6 for more information on operation and features.
