Model SW502 and Model SW507 switches deliver a major improvement in the performance of your network. As a device functioning on the media access control (MAC) layer, the Model SW502 and Model SW507 switches are protocol-independent, and are compatible with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, TCP/IP, NetWare, DECnet, and XNS protocols. -
Page 7: Features
Improves network productivity by segmenting network traffic or providing private 10 Mbps access to the desktop or server, with no changes to the software or network interface. − One 10 Mbps Ethernet port on the Model SW502 switch provides Bayonet-Neil Councelman connector (BNC), attachment unit interface (AUI), or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) interfaces. - Page 8 Installation Guide for the Model SW502 and Model SW507 Ethernet Switches • Non-blocking cross-bar switching matrix allows concurrent operation of up to seven Ethernet segments on the Model SW507 switch in full-duplex mode. • Backpressure to alleviate congestion. Reduces network congestion by slowing down incoming traffic from other segments, when appropriate, by generating collision signals to those segments.

Page 20: Verifying Installation
UTP port for either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connection that is detected by auto-sensing. The 10 Mbps ports on the Model SW502 switch support full duplex if the network is connected to the UTP port. If the network is connected to the AUI or BNC interface, half duplex is supported. -
Page 21: Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
For UTP connection, if the Link LED does not light up after making a connection, there may be a defective network adapter, cable, or port. Check for defects and replace the defective component. For AUI or BNC network connection on the Model SW502 switch, the Link LED will not light until there is data going through the port. -
