10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

impractical. Today’s switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local
area network congestion problems.
Features
The Switches were designed for easy installation and high performance in an
environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase
continuously.
The Switches with their small, compact size were specifically designed for
small to large workgroups (the 4-port switch for smaller workgroups and the
8-port for larger workgroups). These Switches can be installed where space
is limited; moreover, they provide immediate access to a rapidly growing
network through a wide range of user-reliable functions.
The Switches are ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for
shared bandwidth 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps workgroups. In 200 Mbps full-
duplex mode, any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data
pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
The Switches are expandable by cascading two or more switches together.
As all ports support 200 Mbps full duplex, the Switches can be cascaded
from any port and to any number of switches.
The Switches are a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast
Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switches
now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change
the Switches or reconfigure the network.
The Switches combine dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward
switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port;
while, data flow is controlled between the transmiting and receiving nodes to
guarantee against all possible packet loss.
