Introducing the FriendlyNET 7000 Series
Thank you for purchasing an Asanté FriendlyNET 7000 Series Gigabit Switch.
FriendlyNET 7000 products are unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet switches
which provide built-in or optional Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. These
switches are designed to address increasing network bandwidth needs and to
accommodate future network expansion.

Each Switch features full plug-and-play installation. LED indicators include
power, MII power, 100/10Mbps, full- or half-duplex, and link/data, for easy
monitoring of Switch operation.
For network expansion, each Switch has an uplink port that makes it easy to
connect to another Fast Ethernet switch or to the network backbone.
The FS7016 has two expansion slots built in to the front panel. A Gigabit SX
XP module or a 10/100 8-port XP module can be easily plugged in to either or
both of the expansion slots. Each Asanté Gigabit SX expansion module adds a
1,000Mbps port, for connection to a high-speed server or the corporate
backbone. Each Asanté 10/100 8-port expansion module adds another 8 ports
to the Switch.
