1. Introduction

1.1 General Description

The device is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet switch, with all 24 ports capable of 10 or 100Mbps auto-negotiation operation (Nway) which means the switch could automatically negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications. Moreover, the 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy way to migrate 10Mbps to 100Mbps network with no pain. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the Ethernet Switch delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion issue.
