Network Topologies
This section illustrates two network topologies that you can create with the
AT-FS708/POE Fast Ethernet switch: a power workgroup and collapsed
backbone. Both types of topologies are described below.

Topology
The topology shown in Figure 3 is commonly referred to as a power
workgroup topology. Each workstation or end node is connected directly to
a port on the switch. Each end node has a dedicated data link to the
switch for best performance and reliability. The devices can operate at
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
