standards for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) local area networks
(LANs).

A 100 Mb/s extension to Ethernet, also referred to as
100BaseT. Fast Ethernet uses ISO 802-3 ANSI/IEEE
Standard 802.3, but implements the protocol at 100
Mb/s. MAC frame formats and sizes are identical to
those used by 10 Mb/s Ethernet.
Hot-swappable

DIGITAL MultiSwitch 900 without disrupting power
to the unit or affecting the connectivity to other

Do not simultaneously hot-swap more than one
module. Simultaneously inserting or removing more
than one module can cause problems with the
operation of other installed modules.
