Asante FriendlyNET GX5-424W User Manual

Setting up a network to connect 28 network devices is
easy with the powerful FriendlyNET GX5-424W. Just
plug in the network connections and you'll be up and
running within minutes.

Gigabit Performance with Unmatched Flexibility

With two dozen legacy computers running 10/100 Fast Ethernet,
the GX5 is the switch you'll want. As file sizes increase to many
megabytes (MB), you'll appreciate how easily you can add newer
Gigabit-equipped workstations, servers and backbone uplinks. At
the heart of the GX5 is a sophisticated chipset that forms an
impressive 12.8 Gbps wire-speed switch fabric.
The versatile GX5 uses its on-board CPU to take the complexity out
of configuring a workgroup. Using any popular web browser, you're
only a few clicks of your mouse away from enabling high-end
services, like trunking, mirroring, virtual LANs (VLANs) and quality
of service (QoS).

Gigabit Speeds with No Compromises

Does Gigabit Ethernet run better over copper or fiber cables? With
this GX5, you have 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports to run 2 of each media
types simultaneously. For short distances (up to 100 meters), the
dual 10/100/1000BaseT ports are the least expensive route to
Gigabit speeds. Trunk the two 1000BaseT ports together for even
more throughput and reliability. For longer distances with greater
security, add fiber modules (sold separately).
