Abocom Manageable 14-port HomePNA Plus 2 Fast Ethernet Switch - Manual (Page 7)

INTRODUCTION
The manageable 14-port HomePNA Switch
The manageable 14-port HomePNA Switch is a device utilizing the existing telephone
wiring within a building to deliver data and does not interrupt regular voice services.
Data and voice run simultaneously on the same pair of wire without any rewiring. It is
suitable for hotel/motel, multi-tenant apartment, multi-tenant commercial, multi-tenant
student dorm, campus and local loop. This switch supports a concentrator mode, where
each of the ports is dedicated to directly communicate with the Uplink/downlink ports.
This mode ensures that data from any of ports 1-14 cannot be directly seen by another port.
This feature, therefore, provides data privacy to subscribers.
The manageable 14-port HomePNA Switch is designed to eliminate unnecessary
network traffic, and relieve congestion by delivering dedicated bandwidth for each of the
ports. Able to begin operating after power-up, the switch will learn addresses
automatically, and begin forwarding packets at full wire-speed to any of the outputs.
Additionally, this switch comes with the full network management functions such as
SNMP, Web-browser, Telnet, Windows GUI tool and Local Console management.
Moreover, the switch can be operated stand-alone or can be cascaded to stack up with
multiple units to provide low cost network solutions.
