Introduction
General Description
Easily boost your networking throughput; the product equips 16/24 Gigabit ports that
lead you to a real Gigabit connection. Users are now able to transfer large and high
bandwidth-needed files faster and hence get a real efficiency improvement. In addition to
the cooper ports, four of these ports support fiber connection with the equipped Mini-GBIC
ports for obtaining long-distance communication.
This product offers users with fast and reliable network. The store-and-forward
architecture filters errors and forwards packets in a non-blocking environment. Flow
control prevents data loss while transmitting. The 802.3x and backpressure flow control
mechanisms work respectively for full and half duplex modes.
The switch features with easy installation and maintenance. It supports N-way
auto-negotiation protocol that detects the networking speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and the
duplex modes (Full/Half) automatically. Auto-MDI/MDI-X function alleviates the effort to
use crossover cables. Also, rich diagnostic LEDs are provided for users to get real-time
information of the connection status.
