Overview
The AT-FS709FC Series device is an unmanaged, Layer 2 Fast Ethernet
switch. The switch can be used in a variety of network configurations and
topologies. You can use the switch to create small workgroups with dedicated
10/100 Mbps links to your network devices, such as your workstations,
servers, printers, and routers. You can also use the switch to interconnect
Ethernet hubs to provide a bridge between the different workgroups of your
network. Finally, you can connect the switch to other Ethernet switches to
make it part of a larger Ethernet network.
