About This Manual

This manual describes the complete line of FriendlyNET 7000 Series Gigabit Switches. The manual often focuses on two models:

FS7108 — eight-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch plus one-port Gigabit module

FS7016 — sixteen-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch with two expansion slots

The FS7108 model is fixed in a single configuration. The FS7016 is an base unit which may be configured in a variety of ways by adding expansion modules.

Because the addition of an expansion module to the FS7016 base unit effectively changes the model number of the unit (as described in “Model Numbering Convention” on page 1-2), this manual refers to all configurations deriving from the FS7016 (all models that are 1.5 rack-units high).

Unless otherwise noted, all information provided in this manual is applicable to all configurations within the 7000 Series family of FriendlyNET Switches.

This manual also describes three optional slide-in modules:

Gigabit SX XP Module — one-port 1000Base-SX expansion module

10/100 8-Port XP Module — eight-port 10/100Mbps expansion module

100 FX MII Module — one-port 100Base-FX Media Independent Interface module
