bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and new 100Mbps
networks.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the
previous generation of network bridges, which were
characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used
to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router and
the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively
impractical. Today's switches are an ideal solution to most
kinds of local area network congestion problems.

Features

The DES-3624 series of Switches can include one master
(either a DES-3624i or a DES-3624iF) and up to three clients
(DES-3624 or DES-3624F). They are designed for easy
installation and high performance in an environment where
traffic on the network and the number of users increases
continuously.
Switch features include:

Ports

♦ 20 high performance NWay ports all operating at 10/100
Mbps for connection to servers and hubs (19 ports
10/100 fixed Ethernet TP interface and one MDI-II/MDI-
X jack connection are supported) (DES-3624i and DES-
3624iF) or 22 high performance NWay ports all operating
at 10/100 Mbps for connection to servers and hubs (20
ports 10/100 fixed Ethernet TP interface and two MDI-
II/MDI-X jack connections are supported) (DES-3624 and
DES-3624F).
