Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the switch is used. In general, the ES-5226RS is designed as a segment switch which with its large address table (4k MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with ES-5226RS. The switch automatically learns nodes address, which are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
By using Uplink port, the switch can connect with another switch or hub to interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network. Meanwhile, the user can also use fiber ports to connect switches. The distance between two switches by connecting with fiber cable can be up to 550 m (multi-mode fiber) or 10 kilometer (single-mode fiber).
Small Workgroup
The ES-5226RS can be used as a standalone switch to which personal computers, server, printer server, are directly connected to form a small workgroup.
