Switching Technology
To ensure network reliability, a switch monitors each of its ports for signal quality. The switch automatically disconnects stations transmitting excessive noise, then reconnects them when the problem is resolved. A switch also automatically drops data packets that exceed the maximum allowable length. This prevents a device from blocking the network by transmitting continuous data streams or
The FriendlyNET 7000 Series Switch supports
The FS7000 Series utilizes an advanced third generation switching engine. It features high port count in a high integration package. For wire speed performance, the 7108 features a 2.4Gbps bus, while the 7016 base unit has a 9.6Gbps
Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Technology
As the volume of network traffic increases, the bandwidth offered by a typical 10Mbps Ethernet network quickly becomes inadequate to maintain acceptable performance for a growing number of desktop/server computing environments. Fast Ethernet, or
The growing use of Fast Ethernet connections to servers and desktops is creating a clear need for an even
All of today’s internetworking technologies are fully compatible with Gigabit Ethernet, just as they are with Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. All three Ethernet speeds use the same IEEE 802.3 frame format,
Asanté FriendlyNET 7000 Series Switches support not only traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, but also Gigabit Ethernet, and are ideal for bridging them without the need for a separate device.
