CHAPTER 1 Introduction

1.1 Product Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Lantronix 10/100Mbps 10- port or 18-port switch. The LSW2F8 and LSW2F16 10/100 Ethernet Switches are designed to give you the ultimate in performance, flexibil- ity, ease-of-use, and reliability.

The LSW 10/100 switches can increase performance on your network by bringing full Ethernet bandwidth to individual workgroups or straight to the desktop instead of requiring all stations to share the bandwidth of a single network. The LSW switchÕs 100Mbps Fast Ethernet capability can eliminate bottlenecks in connection to servers, or can link 10Mbps workgroups to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network backbone.

For straight-through 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections to servers and workstations, the LSW switches support full-duplex connections, effectively doubling the total throughput on individual links. The LSW switchÕs store-and-forward switching architecture forwards packets to their destination with a minimum of delay and eliminates bad packets from the network.

The LSW2F8/LSW2F16 switch can be placed on a tabletop or rack- mounted, and provides the ideal solution for your small, medium, or large Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network. These devices are designed to comply fully with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and 802.3u Fast Ethernet standards.
