Chapter 1 Introduction
MIL-S1000 switches are multi-speed network devices combining Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet capabilities in a single compact, rack-mountable cabinet. Combining 10Mbps Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in one unit allows these switches to unclog existing LANs and provide a path to efficient, high-speed networking.
The MIL-S1000 switch is a combination of a 4-slot host cabinet which accepts 4 different media modules and One RS-232 port for SNMP(Optional). A maximum configuration of 32 x 10/100Base-Tx switched ports can be achieved using 4×8 port 10/100Base-Tx modules. In the same way,
amaximum configuration of 32×10/100Base-TX or 16×100Base-FX ports or 4x 1000Base-SX can be accommodated in the host cabling. Any of the above modules can be integrated to give up to many different configurations.
