This section provides an example of network topology in which the Switch is used. In general, the VOL-1081 Mini-switch is designed to be used as a desktop or segment switch. You can use the VOL-1081 Mini-switch to connect PCs, workstations, and servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the Switch.
The fiber port requires a manual setting of the transmission mode by means of the DIP switch. This means the device attached to the fiber port must be similarly configured (i.e., half or full duplex). Remember to cycle the power on the VOL-1081 after the DIP switch is changed.
