Overview

The AT-FS705E FC Series and the AT-FS706E FC Series Fast Ethernet switches are unmanaged Layer 2 switches. They can be used in a variety of network configurations and topologies. You can use the switches to create small workgroups with dedicated 10/100 Mbps links to your network devices, such as workstations, servers, printers, and routers. You can also use the switches to interconnect Ethernet hubs to provide a bridge between the different workgroups of your network. Finally, you can connect the switches to other Ethernet switches so that they can be part of a larger Ethernet network.

Common features of the switches include:

Four 10/100 Mbps (10Base-T / 100Base-TX) twisted pair ports with RJ-45 connectors

One (AT-FS705E FC) or two (AT-FS706E FC) 100 Mbps fiber optic ports with a maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers (1.25 miles)

Full- or half-duplex operation on both the twisted pair ports and the fiber optic ports

Automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration on the twisted pair ports

Store and forward Ethernet packet handling

GMAC address table with a capacity of 4,000 addresses

The AT-FS705E FC Series and the AT-FS706E FC Series Fast Ethernet switches are easy to operate. They require no software management.

The switches are available with a variety of fiber optic connectors. For a complete list of the available models, contact your Allied Telesyn International sales representative.

Note

The AT-FS705E FC Series and the AT-FS706E FC Series switches are functionally identical. The only difference is the addition of the second fiber optic port on the AT-FS706E FC Series switch.
