TRENDnet TEG-S4000I Switch User Manual


 
When the network needs expansion, you can simply daisy-chain the
switch to any IEEE 802.3 ( Ethernet ), IEEE 802.3u ( Fast Ethernet ),
IEEE 802.3z ( Gigabit Ethernet ) compliant hub. This switch can also
cooperate with a wide range of networking devices (e.g., firewall
routers and printer servers) added to the network.

Departmental Bridge
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly
processed, this switch is an ideal solution for department users to
connect to the corporate backbone. The Modular Switch used as
segment switch can alleviate user contention for bandwidth and
eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All ports can connect to
high-speed department servers that need high bandwidth. This
switch provides parallel communications between each of its ports,
which can run up to 200 or 2000Mbps at full duplex.
The Switch makes key servers available to more users by allowing
multiple conversations to occur concurrently, thereby significantly
expanding overall network throughput. Moreover, this switch eases
supervision and maintenance by allowing network manager
centralize multiple servers in a single location.
