Product Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Asanté FriendlyNET FS4016P. These switches were
designed to give you the ultimate in performance, flexibility, ease-of-use, and reliability.
Your Asanté FriendlyNET FS4016P can increase performance on your network by bringing full Ether-
net bandwidth to individual workgroups, or straight to the desktop, instead of requiring all stations to
share the bandwidth of a single network. The switch’s 100Mbps Fast Ethernet capability can eliminate
bottlenecks in connections to servers, or can link 10Mbps workgroups to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet net-
work backbone.
For straight-through 10Base-T/100Base-TX connection to servers and workstations, the switch sup-
ports full-duplex connection, effectively doubling the total throughput on individual links. The switch’s
store-and-forward switching architecture forwards packets to their destination with a minimum of delay.
The switches can be placed on a tabletop or wall-mounted, and provide the ideal solution for your
small, medium, or large Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network. It is designed to comply fully with the IEEE
802.3 Ethernet and 802.3u Fast Ethernet standards.
