Shared Features
The FS517TS and FS524S Switches share the following key features:
•Support wire-speed filtering and forwarding of the traffic on all ports
•Scale to meet your growing network needs, enabling performance to keep pace with port density
•Boast high-speed bandwidth over stacking connections
•Provide easy Plug-and-Play installation with no software to configure, for quick and easy connection to new or existing 10 and 100 Mbps users and services
•Support store-and-forward intelligent processing to remove erroneous packets from the network
•Support automatic address-learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The table contains up to 8,000 media access control (MAC) addresses (that is, the switch can support networks with as many as 8,000 devices).
•Autosense link speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) to optimize connectivity and allow companies to migrate to Fast Ethernet one port at a time
•Support full-duplex mode to double throughput of point-to-point connections by enabling individual ports to transmit and receive data concurrently.
•Support IEEE 802.3x-compliant flow control to prevent dropped packets due to net work back-ups and bottlenecks
•Comply with the IEEE802.3 Ethernet, IEEE802.3u Fast Ethernet standards, and IEEE802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet
•Provide LED indicators to show current switch status and simplify troubleshooting
•Rack Mount Kit provided for installing the switch in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or for mounting on the wall
