Introduction 

 

16-port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch 

 

Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch is a 16-port auto-sensing and auto-negotiating 
Dual-speed Fast Ethernet Switch with 

Port Priority

 function. All of its 16 RJ-45 station 

ports support Dual Speed with auto-sensing and auto-negotiating functions. All 16 station 
ports can automatically adapt to data rates ranging from 10 Mbps (Ethernet half-duplex 
mode) to 200 Mbps (Fast Ethernet full-duplex mode).  
 

Live-FSH16T also features port priority function that is implemented via built in 
priority port (port 5, 6, 7 and 8).

 

You can instantly utilize priority function by 

plugging into these ports without further configuration.

 Priority port can ensure high 

priority traffic to be delivered efficiently, even when during bursts of high traffic load. 
Traffic such as 

voice data

 and 

video

 (services which are streaming) are thus prioritized, 

helping steady picture and sound quality. Please refer to the 

Using Priority Ports 

section in 

Chapter 4. 
 
The Uplink port is provided for connection with another switch with straight-through 
cable. With its Uplink port, you can connect two switches together to reach a maximum of 
48 ports. With auto-sensing function, Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch automatically 
detects the speed of the devices you plug into, and routes the incoming data to its 
destination. Its auto-negotiating function also allows existing devices with different speeds 
to communicate easily within the same network. 
 
With these advantages, you have no further costs for hardware investment in unnecessary 
or expensive upgrade. 
 

Easy Plug-and-Play 

 
Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch fully complies with the IEEE802.3 standard for 
10BASE-T network and the IEEE802.3u standard for 100BASE-TX network. And it takes 
users almost no effort to install. Simply plug in the power and connect devices to its ports 
and you just complete its installation. With its easy Plug-and-Play installation procedure, 
Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch costs you virtually no effort to install and run. 
 

Cost-effective for LAN Users 

 

Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch is your best choice for a cost-effective solution to
