Page 12: Types Of Ethernet Switches
Installation Guide for the Model FS562 and Model FS566 Fiber Switches Ethernet switches provide private, dedicated, 10 Mbps (or 100 Mbps) capacity to each connected PC/server or hub/workgroup segment, which is significantly higher than in a shared environment. The higher bandwidth enables the use of applications such as multimedia, imaging, video, or high- performance client-server functions among users who are spread out over the network. -
Page 13: Features
Installation Guide for the Model FS562 and Model FS566 Fiber Switches The Model FS562/FS566 switch can be used to partition a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps network to enhance the capacity of the network to support advanced applications. In addition, the switch provides a link between traditional 10 Mbps networks and faster 100 Mbps networks. - Page 14 Installation Guide for the Model FS562 and Model FS566 Fiber Switches • Switch-selectable autonegotiating or full-duplex mode of operation for UTP ports Full-duplex mode doubles throughput of point-to-point connections by letting individual ports transmit and receive concurrently when the other end also supports full-duplex mode. The default is half-duplex if the connected device does not support N-way negotiation.
