Network Topologies

The AT-FS708LE switch can be used in a
variety of network topologies, such as a
standalone or cascade. Both topologies are
described below.

Standalone Topology

Figure 3 illustrates the standalone topology
where each end-node is directly connected
directly to a 10/100Base-TX port on an
AT-FS708LE switch. This gives each end-node
a dedicated 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps link.
