Transmission Modes
Station Ports (10/100BASE-TX Transmission)
All 10/100Mbps station ports of
Ether-FSH2400N
Fast Ethernet Switch utilize auto-negotiation to
determine the transmission mode for any new connection. This means, if auto-negotiation is
supported on both ends of the connection, the Switch is initiated to negotiate for one of the following
transmission modes:
•
200Mbps/FDX
•
100Mbps/HDX
•
20Mbps/FDX
•
10Mbps/HDX
LAN Micro segmentation through Switching Technology
Ether-FSH2400N Fast Ethernet Switch
can effectively segment your network, significantly
increasing both bandwidth and throughput. Any port on the Switch can either be attached to a hub
(i.e., shared collision domain) or serve as a dedicated link to a single network device (e.g., a
workstation). When a port on the Switch is connected to an Ethernet hub (i.e., a 10 or 100 Mbps
repeater), the bandwidth provided by that port is shared by all the devices connected to the attached
hub. However, when a port is connected to an end node or to a device that breaks up the collision
domain, e.g., another Switch, bridge or router, the attached device will have access to the full
bandwidth provided by that port.
Micro segmentation of an existing LAN can improve network latency and increase overall
performance.
Ether-FSH2400N Fast Ethernet Switch uses Store-and-Forward switching to control network traffic,
thus ensuring data integrity under heavy load.
