Network Topologies

The AT-FS717FC/SC switch can be used in a variety of network
topologies, such as a stand alone, Ethernet hub, and backbone. Each type
of topologies is described below.

Topology

Figure 3 illustrates the Standalone topology where each end-node is
connected directly to a 10/100Base-TX port on an AT-FS717FC/SC
switch. This gives each end-node a dedicated 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps link.
