Model FS516/FS524 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide

Rear Panel

The rear panel of the Model FS516/FS524 switch has full-duplex (FDX) and

auto-duplex (AUTO) toggle switches, fans for cooling, and a standard AC power

receptacle for the supplied power cord.

FDX/AUTO Duplex Toggle Switches

Full-duplex mode is supported for all 10/100 Mbps ports and allows a port to

transmit and receive data at the same time. Full-duplex operation applies only to

point-to-point access (for example, when a switch is connected to a PC, a server,

or another switch).

Setting the toggle switch to AUTO on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to

determine duplex mode automatically. In this mode, the 10/100 Mbps port

operates in either full- or half-duplex mode, depending on the operating mode of

the remote port. If supported by the remote node, the port will establish a 100

Mbps full-duplex link as the default. If the remote port cannot provide the

proper signal to indicate its own capability, the 10/100 Mbps port on the switch

defaults to half-duplex mode. Because repeaters and hubs use a common

collision domain for all communications and cannot communicate in full-duplex

mode, the associated 10/100 Mbps port on the switch should be set to auto-

duplex operation when connecting to these types of devices.

Setting the toggle switch to FDX on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to

determine the speed but will set the duplex mode to full-duplex.
