User Manual
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY Fast Ethernet Switch. This high performance switch is ideal for small
networks or for segmenting larger networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance.
All 24 ports are capable of 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation, while the 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability
provides the easiest, most hassle-free way to integrate older 10Base-T network devices.
This switch delivers a dedicated 10 or 100Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth
congestion issues. It also supports an auto MDI/MDI-X function - each port can be used to connect to any
other Ethernet device without the need for crossover cables.
Store-and-forward architecture is used to filter and forward data after each packet is received and checked
for errors. All ports support full and half-duplex operation which doubles the network bandwidth and allows
for simultaneous transmission and reception of frames without causing collisions.
The ‘Plug & Play’ switch requires no special software to configure and is fully compliant with the 10Base-T
specifications of the IEEE802.3 Standard and the 100Base-TX specifications of the IEEE802.3u Standard.
Diagnostic LEDs on the front panel show the operating status of both the switch and the individual ports.
