bridges, other switches and routers. It can also acting as a bridge between 10Mbps and 100Mbps
networks segments. Thanks to the switching technology, it supports 10Mbps and 100Mbps
dedicated bandwidths in each port. The device is built with plug & play, auto-negotiation on all ports,
as well as half and full-duplex operations, store-and- forward transmission scheme, IEEE802.3x flow
control and back pressure operation for easy installation and smooth transition from legacy 10Mbps
