1.1 Features
Designed for resolving congestion problems caused by bandwidth-hun-
gry devices and bandwidth-intensive applications as well as a high num-
ber of users, the switches not only adhere to the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T,
802.3u 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX standards, but also feature:
•
Four 10/100BASE-TX auto-negotiation switched ports and one
100BASE-FX port for flexible connections to desktop PCs, servers
and Fast Ethernet devices.
•
The 10/100BASE-TX switched ports support:
-
auto-negotiation with auto-negotiation devices
-
full-duplex or half-duplex operation
-
automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration
•
For the 100BASE-FX fiber port, the switch series support variety of
fiber connectors for different application needs. The fiber connec-
tors include ST, SC, MT-RJ, and VF-45 types for multimode and
single mode fiber cables.
•
Supports duplex mode selector for the 100BASE-FX fiber port.
•
Self learning for active MAC addresses and address aging
•
Store and forward switching to ensure only good packets are forwarded
•
Forwarding and filtering at full wire speed
•
Supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex operation
•
Supports back-pressure flow control for half-duplex operation
•
Comprehensive LED indicators provide quick, easy to read port
and switch information
