1. Introduction
Driven by recent advances in desktop computing technology, today’s
network applications have increased in speed, power and the ability to
process information. To meet the demands of these more bandwidth-
intensive applications, this switch device provides significant increase
in performance for your Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network. The switch
comes with high number of 10/100 Fast Ethernet switched ports, each
capable of transferring information simultaneously at full wire speed to
control and allocate the network bandwidth. It also provides one Fast
Ethernet Fiber slot for uplink to fiber backbone.
The key features of the switch units are:
• Easy Migration : With 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T support, the switch
provides a non-disruptive and smooth migration path from Ethernet
to Fast Ethernet network.
• Easy Installation : With the functions of auto-speed-sensing and
auto-negotiation on each port, the switches support plug-and-play
installation by default which eliminates configuration problems.
• Fiber Connectivity : With 100BASE-FX slot support, the switch pro-
vides an optional solution for fiber uplink when it is needed.
• Network Management : With the built-in SNMP and web manage-
ment software agent, the switch provides network management func-
tion for advanced applications remotely.
