Instant Internet 10/100 Ethernet switch overview

The seven-port switch on the front of the Instant Internet unit has seven 10/100
autosensing ports. Each port automatically senses and adapts to the operating
environment, regardless of the type of cable (straight-through or crossover)
plugged into the port, or whether the device at the other end of the cable is an
Ethernet card, such as in a PC, or another hub or switch.
The seven-port switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your
network connections. You can use the switch to:
•
•
•
•
Add hardware to your LAN.
Network several computers together.
Connect your Instant Internet unit without purchasing additional hardware.
Replace your existing 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T hub to save space.
