High-bandwidth File Server

The switch increases bandwidth for workgroups and strengthens network throughput when accessing
high-volume file servers. The Model SW507 switch provides parallel communication between the
high-speed 100 Mbps port and each of the 10 Mbps station ports. This method of communication
allows multiple conversations to occur concurrently. This method also expands overall throughput and
allows key servers or other heavily used devices to be available to more users. Figure 5-3 illustrates
the NETGEAR Model EN516 10BASE-T hubs integrated with the Model SW507 switch.
