NTRODUCTION
DES-1200M are multi-speed network devices combining
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet capabilities
in a single compact, rack-mountable cabinet. Combining
10Mbps Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces in one unit allows these switches to
unclog existing LANs and provide a path to efficient,
high-speed networking.
DES-1200M is a combination of a 4-slot host cabinet
which accepts more than 15 different media modules. A
maximum configuration of 32 x 10/100Base-TX switched
ports can be achieved using 4 X 8 port 10/100Base-TX
modules. In the same way, a maximum configuration of
32 10/100Base-TX or 8/16/32 100Base-FX ports, or 4
x 1000Base-SX/LX can be accommodated in the host
cabling. Any of the above modules can be integrated to
give up to many different configurations.
