1. Introduction to 16/24-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch
1.1 General Description
The device is a 16/24-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Web Smart Switch.
Compare to the traditional 10/100Mbps Ethernet, the switch delivers a dedicated Gigabit
connection to every attached client with no congestion issue. The gigabit ports also
provide the fat pipe to the server or backbone connectivity for boosting the total system
performance. Moreover, the NWay auto-negotiation operation automatically negotiates
with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode; that provides an
easy way to integrate 10/100/1000Mbps networks with no pain. It is ideal for
micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved
performance, enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications.
Out of the ordinary dumb switches, the 16/ 24-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch embedded
advanced management capability; that the device can be managed through console port
or web-based UI. This is much useful for system manager to monitor and control the
system efficiently.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all the
network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under full-duplex mode,
transmission and reception of the frames can occur simultaneously without causing
collisions as well as double the network bandwidth.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with
all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel
provide the operating status of individual port and whole system.
