2. Introduction
2.1
General Description
The device is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet switch, with all 16
ports capable of 10 or 100Mbps auto-negotiation operation (NWay), which
means the switch could automatically negotiate with the connected partners on
the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large
networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling
the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications. Moreover, the
10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy way to migrate 10Mbps to
100Mbps networks with no pain. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps
networks, the switch delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every
attached client with no bandwidth congestion issue.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all
the network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under
full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of the frames can occur
simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double the network
bandwidth.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully
compliant with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs
on the front-panel provide the operating status of individual port and whole
system.
The switch can use the following types of cabling:
10BASE-T Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP
100BASE-TX Category 5 UTP/STP
Category 5 cable is preferred to use with this product in structured wiring
environments. This will ensure correct operation of all ports at 10Mbps or
100Mbps.
