1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this Fast Ethernet Switch. This high
performance switch provides Fast Ethernet ports to segment network traffics, extend
Fast Ethernet connection distance, and convert data packets between different
transmission speeds.
This switch utilize stored-and-forward switching architecture that filters and forwards
data after the complete data packet is received and examined to be free of errors.
With one set of status LEDs for each individual port, the switch operation status can
be easily monitored.
It’s rackmount design that can be mounted on the industrial standard 19 inches rack
in the enterprise wiring center.
All of UTP ports support full & half duplex which are able to provide 200Mbps of
bandwidth, The auto-negotiation function providing smooth migration from Ethernet
to Fast Ethernet. It also supports backpressure and IEEE 802.3x advanced flow
control capability that can reduce congestion and prevent packet loss. Importantly it
provide Auto-MDI/MDI-X function on all UTP port, so you don’t need to worry
about whether the cable is normal or cross over type.
And it offers the best way to relieve bandwidth bottlenecks and provide faster
response times for networked users.
This switch is typically used to segment network traffics that can improve the
network performance by increasing the total bandwidth as illustrated in Figure 1-1.
