The optimal application for the Fast Ethernet Switch, no matter
with the extension module or not, is as a "big pipe" backbone
interconnecting file servers with bandwidth-hungry workgroups,
departments, and offices.

In the figure, the first FNSW-1601(or FNSW-2401) links to an-
other hub‘s Uplink (MDI-II) port, some ports connect to
100Mbps Workstations, and attached to file servers at
200Mbps.
