Features - AOpen AOW-605 User Manual

The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge
between the individual segments. Without interfering
with any other segments, it automatically forwards traffic
that needs to go from one segment to another. By doing
this the total network capacity is multiplied, while still
maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards.
For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way
of eliminating problems of chaining hubs beyond the
"two-repeater limit." A switch can be used to split parts of
the network into different collision domains, making it
possible to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond
the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX
networks. Switches are also ideal for bridging between
the existing 10Mbps networks and the new 100Mbps
networks.
Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of
local area network congestion problems.

Features

AOpen SOHO Switch was designed for easy installation
and high performance in a SOHO environment where
traffic on the network and the number of users increases
continuously.
With its small, compact size was specifically designed for
small to middle workgroups. This AOpen SOHO Switch
can be installed where space is limited; moreover, they
provide immediate access to a rapidly growing network
through a wide range of user-reliable functions.
