32-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch User Guide

The Switch is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch that offers solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are:

•Auto MDI/MDIX feature automatically detects and corrects for crossover cables and allows direct switch- to-switch connection.

•Store and forward switching scheme capability. As the result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments.

•Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto- sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) and duplex-mode (half or full-duplex) thereby providing you with automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections.

•IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex.

•Back pressure flow control for half-duplex.

•Data forwarding rate per port is at wire-speed for both 10Mbps and 100Mbps speed.

•Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per port at wire-speed for both 10Mbps and 100Mbps speed.

•4K active MAC address entry table with self-learning and table ageing.

•1,024-KBytes RAM of buffer per device.

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch.
