3. Network Application   

 

 

This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the 

Switch is used. In general, the LB-FEA800M is designed to be used as a 

desktop or segment switch. 

 

 

Desktop Application                   

 

The LB-FEA800M series are designed to be a desktop size switch that is an 

ideal solution for small workgroup. The Switch can be used as a standalone 

switch to which personal computers, server, printer server are directly 

connected to form small workgroup. 

 

 

Figure 3-1. Desktop Application 

 

 

Segment Application                   

 

For enterprise networks where large data broadcast are constantly processed,
