PES-100 Phoneline Ethernet Switch
2 Introduction
2.1 General
Description
The PES-100 is a powerful and innovative phoneline networking switch with
twelve 1 Mbps phoneline networking ports and two 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
ports. It is ideal for delivering a dedicated 1 Mbps bandwidth for each attached
phoneline networking device.
The 1 Mbps phoneline networking is a new technology that provides network
connectivity over existing telephone wires without any impact on the voice service.
With a rich set of management features, you can easily manage the switch by any
SNMP manager or web browser. This is useful for system administrators to
remotely manage and monitor the connections. The user-friendly graphical
interface makes the management as straightforward as possible.
The switch’s store-and-forward architecture provides low latency and filters the
error, including runt and CRC error, packets. The switch is also fully compliant
with all network protocols. Moreover, the LED indicators on the front-panel allow
you to monitor the operating status of the individual ports and the system as a
whole.
For network connections, you can use the following types of cables:
·
Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP for 10Base-T
·
Category 5 UTP for 100Base-TX
·
Telephone twisted-pair wires for 1 Mbps phoneline networking
