Features

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, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.

The ProSwitch is designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of user increase continuously.

The ProSwitch with its rack size is specifically designed for middle to large workgroups. The Switch provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user- reliable functions.

The ProSwitch is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps full- duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.

The ProSwitch is expandable by cascading two or more switches together. As all ports support 200Mbps, the Switch can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches.

The ProSwitch is a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switch now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switch or reconfigure the network.

The ProSwitch combine dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss.

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

■16-port 10/100BASE EthernetProSwitch with RJ-45 connectors

■Support Auto-negotiation for speed and duplex modes for each port

■Supports Auto-MDI/MDI-X for each port

■Wire speed reception and transmission

■Store-and-Forward switching method

■Integrated address Look-Up Engine, supports 8K absolute MAC addresses

■Supports 512Kbytes RAM for data buffering

■Front-panel diagnostic LEDs

■Broadcast storm protection

■IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex

■Back pressure flow control for half-duplex

■Standard 19" Rack-mountable size
