Network Application
The MIL-S1600 is designed to be used as a segment switch. With its
8000 MAC address table and high performance, it is ideal for
interconnecting networking segments.
You can use the MIL-S1600 to connect PCs, workstations, and servers to
each other by connecting these devices directly to the switch. The switch
automatically learns the address of the attached device, which is
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination
address.
The switch can connect with another switch or hub to interconnect
workgroups to form a larger switched network. You can also use fiber
ports to connect switches together. The distance between two switches
via fiber cable can be up to 2 kilometer with multi-mode fiber or 15 to 60
kilometers with single-mode fiber.
Small Workgroup
The MIL-S1600 can be used as a standalone switch to which personal
computers, servers, and print servers, are directly connected to form
small workgroups.
