LMS8-A
Mini Switch
The Lantronix LMS8-A Mini Switch brings the
performance advantages of Ethernet switching
to the workgroup. The advantages include:
1. Separate Ethernets on each port - where
hubs provide only a single shared 10 Mbps
segment, the LMS8-A provides up to 8 sep-
arate Ethernets, each capable of support-
ing a full 10 Mbps of throughput
2. Collision domain separation - reduces
unnecessary traffic on each segment and
filters out bad packets
3. Full duplex capability for each port
4. Optional AUI port allows compatibility with
other 10 Mbps Ethernet media
The LMS8-A has 8 10 Mbps RJ45 ports with an
optional AUI interface available on Port 1. Each
port is capable of supporting half or full duplex
mode LMS8-A is a self-learning bridge, capable
of supporting 8,192 addresses and performing
wirespeed filtering and forwarding. All bridging
functions are automatic - no management soft-
ware is required. Simply install the LMS8-A into
your workgroup network and you can immediate-
ly enjoy the benefits of Ethernet switching.
