    Warranty Statement A. Five Year Warranty Transition Networks, Inc. (TN) warrants, for a period of five years, that TN products (with the exception of power supplies and fans that TN warrants for two years) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, and will be in conformity with TN’s specifications.

    (ISO). IEEE 802.3u is the extension of IEEE 802.3 to 100BASE-X. Protocol Compatible As devices functioning on the OSI MAC layer, Transition Networks’ pocket switches are protocol independent and therefore totally compatible with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, TCP/IP, NetWare, DECnet and XNS protocols.

    4. OPERATION The Transition Networks’ pocket switch requires no operator intervention beyond occasionally monitoring LED status indicators. Power LED Indicator Port 1 LED Indicators POWER Steady green LED indicates connection to external AC power. NOTE: The port LED indicators provide separate data for each port.
  • Page 8: Increasing Bandwidth By Segmenting 10Base-T Collision Domain

    Increasing Bandwidth by Segmenting 10BASE-T Collision Domain The Transition Networks’ pocket switch adapts to the fact that each Ethernet network device (station) is connected independently to the shared Ethernet signaling system, called the network medium. Each station transmits serially over the shared medium to every other attached station.

    MAC Address Table The dynamic internal routing table of the Transition Networks’ pocket switch provides self learning capabilities for up to 8192 MAC addresses of incoming and outgoing packets. Once a network node address is stored in the MAC address table, data packets addressed to that node are sent directly.
