CHAPTER 3: APPLICATIONS
The FS517TS and FS524S Switches are designed to provide flexibility in configuring
your network connections. Both switches can be used as stand-alone devices or used
with 10 Mbps hubs, 100 Mbps hubs, or 10/100 Mbps switches.They can also be
stacked to create one large virtual switch.This chapter shows how the FS517TS and
FS524S Switches can be used in various network environments.
Topics include:
• Desktop switching
• Segment switching and bridging from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps
Desktop Switching
The FS517TS and FS524S Switches can be used as desktop switches to build a small
network that enables users to have 100 Mbps access to a file server. If a full-duplex
adapter card is installed in the server or PC, the switch port connected to the server or
PC can provide 200 Mbps full-duplex connection.
