Introduction
The MIL-S1600 is a 16 port 10/100Base-TX switch that can be used to
build high-performance switched networks. The store-and-forward
architecture offers low latency for high-speed networking for workgroups
or departments in any business.

The MIL-S1600 has 16 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX Ethernet RJ-45
ports plus one extension slot for an optional one port 100Base-FX fiber
module enabling long-distance connectivity. The optional fiber modules
support single mode and multi-mode connectors to provide a way to
connect remote sites up to 2 Km (multi-mode) or 15 to 60Km (single-
mode). Automatic MDI/MDIX enables connection to another switch or
workstation without changing cabling.
The MIL-S1600 is basically an unmanaged switch but it does supports a
few basic management functions using the console port. The switch does
not support SNMP or an IP address. The console management functions
include trunking, VLANs and port configuration.
