1. Introduction
In today’s society, the ability to communicate quickly and share important data is essential to our lifestyle. Computer networks have proven to be one of the fastest methods of communication.
The MIL-SM801XX series are compact desktop size switches that are ideal solutions for small, medium and enterprise networks. The switch provides wire- speed switching with high-performance, and low-cost connections. Using the store- and-forward switching method, this switch can auto-learn and store up to 8K worth of MAC addresses.

The MIL-SM801xx switch provides eight-switched auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports plus one 100Base-FX fiber port. The switch will automatically detect the speed of the device that you plug into, allowing you to use both 10 and 100Mbps devices. The 10Mbps bandwidth will accommodate 10Mbps workgroup hubs while simultaneously providing the 100Mbps bandwidth needed to accommodate multimedia applications. In addition, each RJ-45 port supports Auto MDI/MDIX for easy installation.
The MIL-SM801XX switch provides one 100Base-FX fiber port. There are 4 types of fiber connectors available on the switch. These fiber connectors are SC, ST, MT- RJ, VF-45 (multi-mode) and SC (single-mode). The fiber port can be used to connect to a remote site up to 2 kilometers (multi-mode) or 15~60 kilometers (SC single- mode).
The MIL-SM801XX includes built in Web-based Management. You can easily configure and monitor the switch through your web browser. You can also use our text base console program through Telnet, Serial Console, or any SNMP management system.
