Model FS102, Model FS104, Model FS108 Fast Ethernt Switch Installation Guide
Bridging from 10BASE-T to 100BASE-TX Networks
The Model FS108 switch can function as a two-port bridge connecting traditional 10BASE-T
Ethernet networks to 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks. Users requiring increased network
bandwidth can be upgraded to 100 Mbps while remaining connected to the rest of the network by
integrating the Model FS108 Fast Ethernet Switch with the NETGEAR Model EN108 Ethernet
Hub and the NETGEAR Model FE108 Fast Ethernet Hub.
High-Bandwidth File Servers
The Model FS104 switch increases bandwidth for workgroups and strengthens network
throughput when accessing high-volume file servers. The switch provides parallel communication
between each of the ports. This method of communication allows multiple conversations to occur
concurrently, expands overall throughput, and allows key servers or other heavily used devices to
be available to more users. The Model FS104 Fast Ethernet Switch can be integrated with a
NETGEAR Model FE108 Fast Ethernet Hub and a NETGEAR Model DS108 Dual Speed Hub. A
full-duplex configurable adapter card installed in the server provides up to 200 Mbps maximum
data throughput.
