Section 1 - Product Overview
Features
•The DES-1108 is a high performance switch designed specifically for environments where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously.
•The DES-1108, with its small, compact size, was specifically designed for small to mid-sized workgroups. The DES-1108 can be installed where space is limited; moreover, it provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions.
•The DES-1108 is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for 10Mbps or 100Mbps shared- bandwidth workgroups. With the highest bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
•The DES-1108 is scalable, allowing two or more DES-1108 switches to be cascaded together. Since all ports support 200Mbps, any one of its five ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to open a Full-Duplex Fast Ethernet pipe.
•The DES-1108 is the perfect choice for a department or office planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet. The DES-1108 can accommodate 10Mbps or 100Mbps devices, providing a flexible solution for existing (10Mbps) Ethernet workgroups.
•The DES-1108 combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port; and it controls the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against possible packet loss.
•The DES-1108 is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch that offers solutions for the accelerating bandwidth needs of small Ethernet workgroups.
