time. It also provides a less expensive and more flexible
bandwidth solution directly to local workgroups where the
majority of work load is generated, instead of using much more
expensive and management-intensive routers that usually cater to
the backbone network.
Overview of the TE-100/S14 Ethernet
Switch
The TRENDnet TE-100/S14 Ethernet Switch supports:
•
One 100Mbps Fast Ethernet (100Base-TX) port and four
10Mbps Ethernet (10Base-T) ports, with each port supporting
dedicated full duplex LAN segments.
•
Store-and-forward Ethernet packet switching.
•
The IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Algorithm for network loop
detection and prevention, and topology re-configuration.
•
One RS-232 port allowing local terminal access to
comprehensive setup and management functions.
•
The EEPROM (flash memory) implementation allowing in-
field upgrade through the Out-of-Band RS-232 port.
•
Comprehensive LED display of the System and individual
LAN segment status.
•
Self-test during power on to ensure system integrity.
These features ensure that the TE-100/S14 Switch is suitable for
simple workgroups, and for large networks.
