Figure 1-2 FriendlyNET 7016 Gigabit Switch

Each Switch features full plug-and-play installation. LED indicators include power, MII power, 100/10Mbps, full- or half-duplex, and link/data, for easy monitoring of Switch operation.

For network expansion, each Switch has an uplink port that makes it easy to connect to another Fast Ethernet switch or to the network backbone.

The FS7016 has two expansion slots built in to the front panel. A Gigabit SX XP module or a 10/100 8-port XP module can be easily plugged in to either or both of the expansion slots. Each Asanté Gigabit SX expansion module adds a 1,000Mbps port, for connection to a high-speed server or the corporate backbone. Each Asanté 10/100 8-port expansion module adds another 8 ports to the Switch.
