The LNES24 is a 24-port Fast Ethernet switch. The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
ports deliver dedicated 10/100 Mbps links to each attached LAN segment – all
with conventional cabling and adapters.
Auto-negotiation is used to select the optimal communication mode for
each connection. Auto-sensing is used to select the optimal transmission
speed for each connection. With store-and-forward switching and flow
control, maximum data integrity is always maintained, even under heavy
loading. Easy installation and reliability make this plug-and-play switch an
ideal choice for smooth Fast Ethernet integration.
Features and Benefits
• Auto-negotiation of half or full duplex, and auto-sensing of
transmission speed, on all ports
• Auto configuration for MDI/MDI-X cable connection allows
connections to servers, workstations, hubs or switches to be made
with straight-through cabling
• ANSI/IEEE 802.3u compliance ensures compatibility with
standards-based hubs, switches and cards from any vendor
• Store-and-forward switching ensures error-free transmission
• Half- and full-duplex flow control prevents packets from being
dropped under heavy loading
• Plug-and-play
• “At-a-glance” LEDs for port and system status monitoring
• Desktop and rack mountable
