IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: Warnings contain directions that you must follow for your personal safety. Follow all directions carefully.

You must read the following safety information carefully before you install or remove the unit:

Exceptional care must be taken during installation and removal of the unit.

Only stack the OfficeConnect hub with other OfficeConnect units.

To ensure compliance with international safety standards, only use the power adapter that is supplied with the unit.

The socket outlet must be near to the unit and easily accessible. You can only remove power from the unit by disconnecting the power cord from the outlet.

This unit operates under SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions according to IEC 950. The conditions are only maintained if the equipment to which it is connected also operates under SELV conditions.

There are no user-replaceable fuses or user-serviceable parts inside the hub. If you have a physical problem with the unit that cannot be solved with problem solving actions in this guide, contact your supplier.

Disconnect the power adapter before moving the unit.

WARNING: RJ-45 ports. These are shielded RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot be used as telephone sockets. Only connect RJ-45 data connectors to these sockets.

3Com 3C16721A, 3C16722A, 3C16723A manual Important Safety Information

3C16723A, 3C16721A, 3C16722A specifications

The 3Com 3C16722A, 3C16721A, and 3C16723A are part of a series of networking devices designed to enhance network performance, reliability, and management capabilities in various environments. These devices are primarily used in enterprise networks, catering to different sizes and types of network infrastructures.

The 3C16722A is a high-performance Ethernet switch featuring 24 ports that support 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. Its main features include auto-MDI/MDI-X capabilities, which automatically detect connections and configure the ports accordingly, facilitating seamless integration. This switch supports VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) functionality, enabling network segmentation and improved security. With robust forwarding capabilities, the 3C16722A ensures efficient data transfer within a network, making it ideal for organizations that require high bandwidth for data-intensive applications.

The 3C16721A, while similar to the 3C16722A, is designed for users who require fewer ports but still demand high-speed connectivity. Offering 16 ports, the 3C16721A also operates at 10/100/1000 Mbps and incorporates advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) settings. QoS prioritizes critical network traffic, ensuring that voice and video data are transmitted with minimal latency, which is essential for businesses that depend on real-time communication tools.

Lastly, the 3C16723A combines the functionalities of both its counterparts but extends the port offerings to cater to larger networks. Featuring 48 ports, this switch can support multiple devices simultaneously, providing extensive connectivity options. Additionally, it offers stacking support, allowing multiple switches to operate as a single unit. This capability enables network administrators to manage larger systems more efficiently and simplifies the overall network architecture.

Each of these devices utilizes advanced technologies such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for loop prevention and link aggregation to enhance throughput by combining multiple connections. Security features, including port security and access control lists, are also integrated to protect sensitive data and maintain network integrity. Overall, the 3Com 3C16722A, 3C16721A, and 3C16723A are versatile networking solutions that deliver performance, scalability, and security for modern enterprise networks.
