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 or hub.
Store and forward switching scheme capability. As the
result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering,
this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting
among segments.
NWay Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-
sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing you with
automatic and flexible solutions in your network
connections.
Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped packets
by sending out collision signals when the port's receiving
buffer is full. Note that flow control is only available in half
duplex mode.
Data forwarding rate per port is at wire-speed for 100Mbps
