Normal/Uplink Push Button
All ports (1 through 4) are configured for normal wiring to connect to
a PC. When the push button is pressed in, port 5 is configured for
uplink wiring to connect to another switch or to a hub, using a
straight-through twisted pair cable. When the push button is out, port
5 is configured for normal wiring to connect to a PC.
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Model FS105 switch has a power adapter
receptacle for the supplied power adapter.
Applications
PC Workgroup
The Model FS105 switch is used as a desktop switch to build a small
network that enables users to have 100 Mbps access to a file server.
Compared with a hub, where the network bandwidth is shared among
all users, the model FS105 switch provides dedicated 10 or 100 Mbps
(megabits per second) bandwidth to each PC.
If a full-duplex adapter card is installed in the server or PC, a 200
Mbps connection is possible on the port where the server or PC is
connected.
