Quick Installation Guide
•See if your cable is functioning properly by using it for another port and attached device that displays valid indications when connected to the network.
•Be sure no
Applications
This switch segments your network, significantly increasing both bandwidth and throughput. Any port on the switch can be attached to a hub (a shared collision domain) or provide a dedicated link to a single network device (such as a workstation or server). When a port on the switch is connected to a hub (a 10 or 100 Mbps repeater), the bandwidth provided by that port is shared by all the devices connected to the attached hub. However, when a port is connected to an end node or to a device that breaks up the collision domain (e.g., another switch, bridge or router), the attached device has access to the full bandwidth provided by that port.
Bridging Functions - This switch provides fully transparent bridging functions. It automatically learns node addresses, that are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address. When traffic passes between devices attached to the same shared collision domain, those packets are filtered from the switch. But when traffic must be passed between unique segments (i.e., different ports on the switch), the
Switching Functions -
Flexible Configuration - This switch is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. It can be used as a simple
Media Expansion Options - You can use a Fast Ethernet fiber module to connect to remote sites up to 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) away, or a Gigabit module to support applications such as
