PLANET NOVASwitch series

5.6 Sample Application
The optimal application for the Switch, no matter with the
extension module or not, is as a "big pipe" backbone
interconnecting file servers with bandwidth-hungry workgroups,
departments, and offices.
In the figure, the first FNSW-2400S links to another switch‘s
Uplink (MDI-II) port, some ports connect to 100Mbps
Workstations, and attached to file servers at 200Mbps. This
example highlight the extra distance provided by 100Base-FX
fiber-optic, using the Port #24 of FNSW-2400S with the rear
module installed.
