1. Introduction
The MIL-SM801P, MIL-SM801G and MIL-SM800P managed series of compact desktop switches are ideal solutions for network users. They provide wire-speed, Fast Ethernet switching providing high- performance data transfer. The switches feature a store-and-forward architecture with auto-learning of source addresses with an 8K-entry MAC address table.

The switches provide 8 switched auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports. The MIL-SM801P provides one additional 100BASE-FX fiber port and the MIL-SM801G provides one additional 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet port. The switch automatically detects the speed of the device attached allowing use of both 10 and 100Mbps devices. In addition, each RJ-45 port supports Auto MDI/MDIX.
There are 4 types of fiber connectors available on the MIL-SM801P switch. These fiber connectors include SC, MT-RJ, and VF-45 in multi- mode and SC in single-mode. The fiber port can be used to connect to remote sites up to 220 meters using multi-mode or 15 kilometers with SC single-mode.
With built-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring the switch is simplified. The Web Browser may be used to configure and manage the network, from cabinet level management to port level control and monitoring. Use of a mouse replaces typing of command strings. The switch can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or SNMP Management.
