2. Introduction to 16-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch
2.1 General Description
The device is a 16-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Web Smart Switch.
Compare to the traditional 10/100Mbps Ethernet, the switch delivers a dedicated Gigabit connection to
every attached client with no congestion issue. The gigabit ports also provide the fat pipe to the server
or backbone connectivity for boosting the total system performance. Moreover, the NWay auto-nego-
tiation operation automatically negotiates with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex
mode; that provides an easy way to integrate 10/100/1000Mbps networks with no pain. It is ideal for
micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling
the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications.
Out of the ordinary dumb switches, the 16-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch embedded advanced man-
agement capability; that the device can be managed through console port or web-based UI. This is
much useful for system manager to monitor and control the system efficiently.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all the network errors,
including runt and CRC error packets. To work under full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of
the frames can occur simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double the network band-
width.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of
network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel provide the operating status
of individual port and whole system.
