    Introduction The FSD-401ST/FSD-401SC, 5-port 10/100Mbsp Ethernet Switch is designed to allow simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data channel including 100Base-FX fiber-optic.
  • Page 8 In the following sections, the term “Switch” will represent Planet’s FSD-401, the both model, and “switch” for third part Ethernet switches. This Switch is a highly reliable network switch and is the ideal device for bridging Ethernet to Fast Ethernet workgroups or networks. Simple and cost-effective, the Switch complies to IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3,...

    device like repeater hub, switch or workstations. Be noted for the duplex mode. For Hub, only Half-Duplex mode can be selected, at the mean time, the cable distance cannot exceed 412 meters. For Switch or end-node, the maximum distance cannot exceed 2 kilometers. The pair of the connectors must be crossed, i.e.
  • Page 17 The Ethernet Switch will lookup the address table for the destination address. If not found, this packet will be forwarded to all the other ports except the port which this packet comes in. And these ports will transmit this packet to the network it connected. If found, and the destination address is located at different port from this packet comes in, the Ethernet Switch will forward this packet to the port where this destination address is located according to the information from...

Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switch, the source address and corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently used to filter packets whose destination address is on the same segment as the source address.
