Easy Migration to Workgroup Computing

Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch serves primarily as a concentrator to converge your
workgroup traffic, and as a highly efficient switching device to forward the incoming data
to destination network segments. With its auto-sensing and negotiating functions, it makes
your mixed Ethernet/Fast Ethernet networking environment as efficient and compatible.
Not only can you expand or upgrade to 100 Mbps bandwidth of Fast Ethernet without
virtually no effort, but also your existing Ethernet hardware investment are saved for your
leverage. It is a perfect solution to cater to your network expansion needs. With its Uplink
Port, Live-FSH16T is also extremely flexible in network configuration. Through
uplinking multiple switches, hubs or other devices, plenty of flexibility and expandability
is left for the network administrator to apply in future LAN configuration and expansion.
Whether you have just set up your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet environment or you have already
got an existing Ethernet network, Live-FSH16T Fast Ethernet Switch is your best choice
for gaining the benefits and resources of workgroup computing. Since Live-FSH16T Fast
Ethernet Switch provides such a cost-effective way to gear up your network performance
toward workgroup computing, you will appreciate the easy plug-and-play function of its
installation within your network.
In fact, we can envision a workgroup environment as complex as what is shown in Fig. 4-5.
Often challenged with a heavy traffic load generated by workgroup applications, you need
a device such as Live-FSH16T to act as a concentrator and central switching device to take
care of the traffic flow. With its 16-port capacity, it can adopt as many end stations and
servers or even connect to other network devices. Through uplinking and cascading with
other devices, you can even expand this capacity in a very easy and cost-effective way.
