16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch (Desktop) User Guide

Features
This high-performance Switch was designed for a network environment where traffic and the number of users increase continuously.
The Switch, with their small, desktop size, was specifically designed for small to middle-sized workgroups. It provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions.
The Switch is ideal for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups with multiple high-speed servers. With the highest bandwidth at 200 Mbps (100 Mbps full- duplex mode), each port can provide workstation with congestion-free data-pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
The Switch is expandable by cascading two or more switches together. Since all ports support 200 Mbps, the Switch can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches.
The Switch is a perfect choice for a 10Mbps network site that might be upgraded to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switch now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without changing the Switch or reconfiguring the network.
The Switch combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward switching method to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port. It also controls the data flow between transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss.
