immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide
range of user-reliable functions.
The Switches are ideal for deployment with multiple
high -speed servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps
workgroups. With the h ighest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps
full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a
congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the
server.
The Switches are expandable by cascading two or more
switches together. As all ports support 200Mbps, the Switches
can be cascaded from any port and to any number of
switches.
The Switches are a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade
to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can
connect to the Switches now, and change adapters and hubs
anytime later without needing to change the Switches or
reconfigure the network.
The Switches combine dynamic memory allocation with
store-and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is
effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data
flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee
against all possible packet loss.
The Switches are an unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch
that offers solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup
bandwidth.
Other key features are:
•
Uplink/ MDI-II (media dependent interface) port for Uplink
to another switch, hub or repeater.
•
Store and forward switching scheme capability. As the
result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering,
