In the following sections, the term “Switch” will represent Planet’s
FSD-401, the both model, and “switch” for third part Ethernet switches.
This Switch is a highly reliable network switch and is the ideal device
for bridging Ethernet to Fast Ethernet workgroups or networks. Simple
and cost-effective, the Switch complies to IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3,
100Base-FX, 100Base-TX, and 10Base-T. Therefore, the Switch will
be the fast being recognized as one of the most important building
blocks for today networking technology.
Compact in size and designed for Plug and Play installation, the Switch
allows the network administrator to simply connect the network and
power cables and the switching/bridging functions begin automatically.
No hardware or software configurations are required.
The front panel of the Switch provides LED indicators for easy
recognition of the switch operation status and for troubleshooting.
These LED indicators display the power status for the system and link,
speed, full-duplex, and receive status for each port.
With 4-port Fast Ethernet Switching designed specifically for
connecting workgroup devices and desktops, companies no longer
have to invest in expensive and inflexible switches engineered
primarily for backbone implementations. Instead, companies can
deploy scaleable, affordable switches that increase the aggregate
bandwidth of the network by boosting throughput to the workgroups
