Features
The 16/24 Port Fast Ethernet Switches were designed for ease of installation and high
performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users
increase continuously.
The Switch with its 19” standard rack size is specifically designed for middle to large
workgroups. The Switch provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a
wide range of user-reliable functions.
The Switch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for shared bandwidth
10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps full-
duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for
simultaneous access to the server.
The Switch is expandable by cascading two or more switches together. As all ports support
200Mbps, the Switch can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches.
The Switch is a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future.
Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switch now, and change adapters and hubs
anytime later without needing to change the Switch or reconfigure the network.
The Switch combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward switching to
ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow
between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss.
