Page 5: Quick Installation
Quick Installation The Fast SwitcHub-2se contains 2 Ethernet ports that can operate at full-duplex or half-duplex. One of these ports supports 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T (twisted- pair) connection, while the other port supports 100BASE-FX (fiber optic) connection. The smart design built into the front display panel and configure options, provides a friendly interface that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. - Page 6 (Refer to Full/Half Duplex Mode Selection in Chapter 2). If you encounter any problems in installing the Fast SwitcHub-2se, refer to Chapter 2 for a detailed description of installation procedures, or to Appendix A for help in troubleshooting.

Page 11: Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction Switching Technology The Ethernet Switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data channel. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The Ethernet Switch is therefore fast being recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology. -
Page 12: Accton's Smart Extender
Fast SwitcHub-2se User’s Guide Accton’s Smart Extender Accton’s Fast Switch-2se can boost network bandwidth fourfold (i.e., if running at 100Mbps and using full-duplex operation for both ports). It provides one 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX media attachment (which is automatically detected by the switch), and one 100 Mbps fiber optic port for 100BASE-FX media attachment via an SC or ST type connector. -
Page 13: Switching Methods
Although cut-though switching is recommended as the fastest method for most applications, the other methods mentioned above are also supported by the Fast SwitcHub-2se to guarantee flawless performance. To ensure that you can manage any kind of network load, the Smart Extender uses adaptive cut- through switching based on Accton’s smart algorithm. -
