Introduction
The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch is an ideal device for linking Ethernet
LANs without impacting available bandwidth or for integrating 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet with 10Mbps Ethernet networks. The speed migration design
will bridge a bandwidth-intensive Fast Ethernet network and a traditional
10Mbps Ethernet network.
The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch complies with IEEE802.3u, 100BASE-TX,
IEEE802.3 and 10BASE-T standards. The switch has two ports, one of
which is a 10/100Mbps, N-Way, RJ-45 port. The other is a 3-in-1 combo
port with twisted pair (10/100Mbps, N-Way), BNC coaxial, and AUI
connectors. The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch provides a store-and-forward
passing scheme with filtering and forwarding rates running at wire-speed,
reducing latency within and across segments.
The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch provides an easy, affordable, high-
performance, seamless, and standard-based migration path to a 100BASE-TX
LAN while preserving your initial investment and use of 10Mbps Ethernet
LANs.
