Page 4: Introduction
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. -
Page 5: Features
The ProSwitch with its rack size is specifically designed for middle to large workgroups. The Switch provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user- reliable functions. -
Page 6: Unpacking And Installation
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation. Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting. - Page 7 Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.

10Mbps networks and the new 100Mbps networks. Desktop Switching The 16-Port ProSwitch can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to have 100 Mbps access to a file server. -
Page 10: Segment Switching
Segment Switching The 16-Port ProSwitch can segment a network into multiple connected pieces, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.The following diagram illustrates the NetComm 16-Port ProSwitch segmenting networks that are built with the NetComm Swtich.

Page 11: Extending A Network
Ethernet specifications limit the length of cable between hubs and PCs to 100 meters for a total diameter of 200 meters. By adding Fast Ethernet switches between hubs, the network is expanded by 200 Mbps with the addition of each switch. The follow diagram illustrates a network of NetComm Switch. -

Page 15: Twisted Pair Cables
The crossover function is usually implemented internally as part of the circuitry in the device. Computers and workstation adapter cards are usually media- dependent interface ports, called MDI or uplink ports. Most repeaters and switch ports are configured as media-dependent interfaces with built-in crossover ports, called MDI-X or normal ports. -
