Page 4: About This Guide
BOUT Congratulations on your purchase of the DSS-8+. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible desktop package. Purpose The purpose of this manual is to show you how to install and configure your DSS-8+. Overview of this User’s Guide Chapter 1, Introduction. -
Page 5: Introduction
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges... - Page 6 Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by dividing a local area network into different segments, which don’t compete with each other for network transmission capacity.

Page 7: Features
The DSS-8+ is expandable by cascading two or more DSS-8+s together. As all ports support 200Mbps, the DSS-8+ can be cascaded from any port and to any number of DSS-8+s. - Page 8 Store and forward switching scheme capability. As the result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments. NWay Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto- sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing you with automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections.
