Nortel Networks introduces the next
generation of the most successful
workgroup switches ever. Completely
redesigned for faster throughput, support
for high-speed uplink options, and leading-
edge software features, new BayStack* 350
Switches carry on the Nortel Networks
tradition of affordable, high-performance
workgroup switching.
BayStack 350 Switches support 10/100
autosensing on all UTP ports, for seamless
migration to 100 Mbps connections without
time-consuming trips to the wiring closet
whenever end stations are upgraded to
Fast Ethernet. To further simplify network
setups, all ports also automatically sense
half- or full-duplex connections for
high-speed server or switch-to-switch
configurations.
BayStack 350-12T and BayStack
350-24T Switches feature 12 and
24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
ports respectively (see Table 1).
For high-bandwidth traffic
to the network core, both switches offer
a Media Dependent Adapter (MDA) slot
for Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet fiber,
10/100 autosense Ethernet, and future
ATM ports.
