1. Introduction

Driven by recent advances in desktop computing technology, today’s network applications have increased in speed, power and the ability to process information. To meet the demands of these more bandwidth- intensive applications, this switch device provides significant increase in performance for your Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network. The switch comes with high number of 10/100 Fast Ethernet switched ports, each capable of transferring information simultaneously at full wire speed to control and allocate the network bandwidth. It also provides one Fast Ethernet Fiber slot for uplink to fiber backbone.

The key features of the switch units are:

•Easy Migration : With 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T support, the switch provides a non-disruptive and smooth migration path from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet network.

•Easy Installation : With the functions of auto-speed-sensing and auto-negotiation on each port, the switches support plug-and-play installation by default which eliminates configuration problems.

•Fiber Connectivity : With 100BASE-FX slot support, the switch pro- vides an optional solution for fiber uplink when it is needed.

•Network Management : With the built-in SNMP and web manage- ment software agent, the switch provides network management func- tion for advanced applications remotely.
