1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of this Fast/Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch. This high performance smart switch provides Ethernet ports to segment network traffics, extend Ethernet connection distance, and convert data packets between different transmission speeds.

This switch utilizes stored-and-forward switching architecture that filters and forwards data after the complete data packet is received and examined to be free of errors. With one set of status LEDs for each individual port, the switch operation status can be easily monitored.

All the Fast Ethernet ports support both Full and Half duplex mode which are able to provide up to 200Mbps (2000Mbps for Gigabit Ports) of bandwidth to the connected devices, with auto-negotiationproviding the capability to connect to 100/10Mbps(1000/100/10Mbps for Gigabit ports) network devices. It also supports backpressure and IEEE 802.3x advanced flow control capabilities that can reduce congestion and prevent packet loss.

And it offers advance features:

VLAN: Port-based and Tag-based VLAN allow you to set virtual LANs within your network

Trunking: Reduce the bottleneck between switches

QoS: Two priority queues per port allow you to define which port has higher priority.

Expansion Slot Option: Provides copper or fiber (multi/single mode) module option

In addition, all the ports support the MDI/MDI-Xauto-detect function. That is to say, you can connect any device (including PC, Switch, Hub) to a port of this switch using a regular cable. The RJ-45 port will auto-detect and auto-switch to the correct MDI/MDI-X mode (do not need to use a specific uplink port or cross-over cable).
