1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this Fast/Gigabit
Ethernet Smart Switch. This high performance smart switch
provides Ethernet ports to segment network traffics, extend
Ethernet connection distance, and convert data packets between
different transmission speeds.
This switch utilizes 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.
All the Fast Ethernet ports support both
Full and Half
duplex mode
which are able to provide up to 200Mbps
(2000Mbps for Gigabit Ports) of bandwidth to the connected
devices, with
auto-negotiation
providing the capability to
connect to
100/10Mbps
(1000/100/10Mbps for Gigabit ports)
network devices. It also supports backpressure and
IEEE 802.3x
advanced flow control
capabilities that can reduce congestion
and prevent packet loss.
And it offers advance features:
VLAN
: Port-based and Tag-based VLAN allow you to set
virtual LANs within your network
Trunking
: Reduce the bottleneck between switches
QoS
: Two priority queues per port allow you to define
which port has higher priority.
Expansion Slot Option
: Provides copper or fiber
(multi/single mode) module option
In addition, all the ports support the
MDI/MDI-X
auto-detect function. That is to say, you can connect any device
(including PC, Switch, Hub) to a port of this switch using a
regular cable. The RJ-45 port will auto-detect and auto-switch to
the correct MDI/MDI-X mode (do not need to use a specific
uplink port or cross-over cable).
