Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The 16 10/100TX + 2 10/100/1000T/ 100/1000 Mini-GBIC Combo Managed Switch is a
cost-effective solution and meets the high reliability requirements demanded by
industrial applications. The 16 10/100TX + 2 10/100/1000T/ 100/1000 Mini-GBIC Combo
Managed Switch can be easily managed through the Web GUI. Using fiber port can
extend the connection distance that increases the network elasticity and performance. It
also provides the X-Ring function that can prevent the network connection failure.
The MINI-GBIC Advantage
The MINI-GBIC fiber slots provide a lot of flexibility when planning and implementing a
network. The slot can accept any SFP-type fiber module and these modules are
designed for transmitting over distances of either 550m (multi-mode), 10km, 30km, 50km,
70km or 110km (single-mode)—and the slot supports SFP modules for WDM single-fiber
transmissions. This means that you can easily change the transmission mode and
distance of the switch by simply pulling out the SFP module and plugging in a different
module. The SFP modules are hot-swappable and plug-and-play.
High-Speed Transmissions
The 16 10/100TX + 2 10/100/1000T 100/1000 Mini-GBIC Combo Managed Industrial
Switch includes a switch controller that can automatically sense transmission speeds
(10/100/1000 Mbps). The RJ-45 interface can also be auto-detected, so MDI or MDI-X is
automatically selected and a crossover cable is not required. All Ethernet ports have
memory buffers that support the store-and-forward mechanism. This assures that data is
properly transmitted.
