upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet
workgroups can connect to the Switches now, and change
adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change
the Switches or reconfigure the network.
The Switches combine 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.
The Switches are an unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet
Switch offering solutions in accelerating small Ethernet
workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are:
Auto-MDI function supports automatic MDI/MDIX
crossover detection function gives true ‘plug and play’
capability without the need of confusing crossover
cables or crossover ports.
Store and forward switching scheme capability. As
the result of complete frame checking and error frame
filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from
transmitting among segments.
NWay Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for
auto-sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing
you with automatic and flexible solutions in your
network connections.
Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped
packets by sending out collision signals when the
port’s receiving buffer is full. Note that flow control
