  • Page 8 The switch performs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. SWITCH This allows wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low ARCHITECTURE latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data integrity.

  • Page 11: Network Planning

    NETWORK PLANNING INTRODUCTION A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple TO SWITCHING packets; it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. Therefore the switch has been recognized as one of the most important device for today’s networking technology. When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the network access point such as file server, the device can be connected directly to a switched port.

  • Page 29: Cable Labeling And Connection Records

    CABLE LABELING AND CONNECTION RECORDS When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. This will allow user to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.

  • Page 30: A Troubleshooting

    Because the SM4T4DPA behave in this way (in compliance with the IEEE802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch.
