Chapter 3: Hardware Reference
The Fast SwitcHub-2se is a highly reliable network switch that complies with IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T) and IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX) specifications. This switch delivers superior performance compared to the bridge and router solution, and at a much lower cost. By confining local traffic to the originating segment, and only forwarding cross-segment traffic to the other port, this switch meets the requirements for Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 networks.
This chapter describes the hardware features of the Fast SwitcHub-2se. For easier management and control of the switch, familiarize yourself with the display indicators, ports and configure button. Front and rear panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit’s LED indicators, configure button and ports.
Front Panel
The unit’s front panel provides a simple interface for configuring or monitoring the switch. It includes a configure button, power indicator, display mode indicators, port status indicators, and a statistical display for network traffic as shown below.
