Network Size (per each TDM pipe)

For ring networks:
For linear networks:

Spanning-Tree Networks Compatibility

Transparent to spanning-tree frames ("BPDU" packets).
Supports new topologies:
a) As soon as new frames are received from devices.
b) After MAC address table entries age out (user-configurable time). Unicast
traffic is then broadcast.

Multicast Networks Compatibility

Transparent to Multicast Frames (multicast frames are broadcast).
Transparent to Multicast Routing Frames (transports IGMP and GARP frames).
Does not "sniff" IGMP frames (debatable utility for multi-camera multicast
networks).

MAC Security

Secured mode of operation (MAC
learning disabled, no MAC aging,
unknown MACs blocked):
Port disable on disconnect:
Intruder detection:

Unit Security

High Security mode (only VistaNET
administrators are allowed to configure
non-SONET path related settings)
