The AT-FS718 and AT-FS724 switches are standalone, unmanaged
Fast Ethernet switches that provide 16 or 24 10Base-T/100Base-TX
station ports. The AT-FS718 additionally provides uplink options of
up to two 100Base-TX or 100Base-FX ports for backbone
connectivity.

They are primarily intended for connections to the desktop as well as
workgroup applications. The AT-FS718, when populated with
optional uplink ports, implements direct high-speed server and
backbone connections. Full-duplex capability on all ports eliminate
collisions and provide up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth per port to
servers, routers, and other switches. The auto-negotiating ports
allow connectivity to devices operating at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
