16Port 24Port Gigabit Switch User Manual
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Welcome
The 16- or 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch provides non-blocking, wire speed switching for
your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients. Drop this switch in place of your current
workgroup hub or switch, and you can upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit
speeds as necessary, while continuing to service other clients at their current speeds. Or build your
network from the ground up, with appropriate link speeds for each user’s requirements. Either way,
it’s perfect for graphics, multimedia, and other applications that have to move large files across the
network quickly. With the 16- or 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch, you can connect your
existing 10/100 Ethernet network to a Gigabit server backbone without any additional equipment.
All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't have to worry about the
cable type. Each port independently and automatically negotiates for best speed and whether to
run in half- or full-duplex mode.
