Modes of Operation
NOTE: Product label may show RESERVED for the UP UP position, however the UP UP position is as indicated in the table above.
Switch Mode
When configured for Switch Mode (factory default), the switch operates as a standard layer 2 switch. Data flow will follow MAC address mapping.
Directed Switch Mode When configured for Directed Switch Mode, traffic from the user ports and uplink port F2 is only forwarded to the uplink port F1, preventing the broadcast traffic from flooding other network ports. Incoming traffic from uplink port F1 is flooded to all user ports and uplink port F2.
Page 5
Directed Switch Mode When configured for Directed Switch Mode and Uplink Redundancy (per DIPswitches 3 and 4), traffic is forwarded to both the primary and secondary uplink ports. The secondary port will block all traffic while the primary port is active. When the primary port goes down, the secondary port will be active and all traffic will be forwarded out the secondary port (F2).
Directed Switch Mode with Uplink Redundancy Dual Device Mode Dual Device Mode is only supported on models with two uplink ports. When configured for Dual Device Mode, the switch is configured as two logically independent Layer 2 switches. Port F1 is associated with ports P1 and P2 and Port F2 is associated with ports P3 and P4. Data flow will follow MAC address mapping.
Dual Device Mode When configured for Dual Device Mode and Directed Switch Mode, the traffic from ports P1 and P2 is only forwarded to uplink port F1 and ports P3 and P4 are only forwarded to uplink port F2. This prevents broadcast traffic from flooding other network ports. Incoming traffic from F1 and F2 follows MAC address mapping.

Function Switch Mode (factory default) Switch Mode (factory default) Uplink Redundancy Mode – no return to primary (F1) Uplink Redundancy Mode – return to primary (F1)
Uplink Redundancy
When configured for Uplink Redundant Mode “no return to primary”, the uplink ports operate as redundant links. A fault on the primary Port F1, will cause a fail over to the secondary Port F2 within 50msec. Port F1 will become the secondary port once the failure condition has been restored because “no return to primary” has been selected.
Redundant Uplink When configured for Uplink Redundant Mode “return to primary”, a fault on the primary Port F1, will cause a fail over to the secondary Port F2 within 50msec. The switch will return to the primary Port F1 after the failure condition has been restored. SW5: MAC Learning – “ON/OFF” When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN “ON” position (factory default), all ports on the switch will learn the source MAC address of each received packet and store the address so packets destined for the stored addresses can be forwarded to the appropriate port on the switch. When the DIP-switch is in the UP “OFF” position, learning is turned off and all received unicast packets are forwarded to all ports.

SW6, SW7 and SW8: Reserved Pause Pause frames will be configured to advertise Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Pause capability on all ports. L2CP All Layer 2 Control Protocol (L2CP) frames will be tunneled. 2) Installing the Switch Wall Mounting The wall mounting height of the switch should be less than or equal to 2 meters (6.6 feet) from the floor. Use the four mounting holes on the switch to secure the switch to the wall. The mounting holes can accommodate #6 screws (not included). Installation of the switch should be such that the air flow in the front, back, side and top vents of the switch are not compromised or restricted. The accessory cables should have their own strain relief and do not pull down on the switch. Rack Mounting The switch can be rack mounted using the optional Rack Mount Shelf (8260-0). Refer to the Rack Mount Shelf user manual (040-08260-001x) for the proper installation guidelines. 3) Apply Power AC Power Secure the ground wire to the ground screw. See the figure below for the location of the grounding screws. Route the power cord through the provided strain relief for additional support and connect the barrel connector at the end of the wire on the AC/DC adapter to the barrel connector on the switch. Connect the AC/DC adapter to the AC outlet. Confirm that the switch has powered up properly by checking the Power LED located on the front of the switch.
