Topology
The topology shown in Figure 26 is commonly referred to as a power
workgroup topology. Each workstation or node is connected directly to
a port on an AT-8350GB Fast Ethernet switch, giving each node a
dedicated data link to the switch for best performance and reliability.
The devices can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
