10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
Introduction
3
Features
The Switch is designed for easy installation and high performance in an
environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase
continuously.
The Switch with its rack size is specifically designed for network workgroups.
The Switch provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through
a wide range of user-reliable functions.
The Switch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for
shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. In 200Mbps full-duplex
mode, any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for
simultaneous access to the server.
The Switch is expandable by cascading two or more switches together. As all
ports support 200Mbps full duplex, the Switch can be cascaded from any port
and to any number of switches.
The Switch is a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in
the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switch now, and change
adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switch or
reconfigure the network.
The Switch combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward
switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while
controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee
against all possible packet loss.
Other key features are:
♦
Twelve N-Way UTP/STP ports all come with auto-negotiation and
operate at 10/100 Mbps for connection to servers and hubs. All ports can
be configured for full or half-duplex operation.
♦
Uplink/MDI-II (media dependent interface) port for uplinking to
another switch, hub or repeater. Please note that if you are using the
