Sample Application

The optimal application for the NOVASwitch, no matter with the
extension module or not, is as a "big pipe" backbone
interconnecting file servers with bandwidth-hungry workgroups,
departments, and offices.
In the figure, the first FNSW-1601(or FNSW-2401) links to
another hub's Uplink (MDI-II) port, some ports connect to
100Mbps Workstations, and attached to file servers at
200Mbps.
