Installation Guide for the Model FS508 Fast Ethernet Switch
3-6 Applications
High-bandwidth File Servers
The Model FS508 switch increases bandwidth for workgroups and strengthens network
throughput when accessing high-volume file servers. The switch provides parallel communication
between each of the ports. This method of communication allows multiple conversations to occur
concurrently, expands overall throughput, and allows key servers or other heavily used devices to
be available to more users.
Figure 3-5 illustrates the NETGEAR Model FS508 Fast Ethernet
switch integrated with two NETGEAR Model FE108 Fast Ethernet hubs. A full-duplex
configurable adapter card installed in the server provides up to 200 Mbps maximum data
throughput.
