Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.
Features
The DSS-5+ was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where network traffic and the number of users increases continuously.
Designed with the small and medium network in mind, the DSS-5+ comes in a small and compact size. Whether used to connect 10Mb and 100Mb network segments and servers together, or to extend an existing switched network, it has the necessary speed to do the job.
The DSS-5+ is expandable by cascading two or more switches together. All ports support up to 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 DSS- 5+ is a perfect choice for sites planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the DSS-5+ now, and upgraded Fast Ethernet adapters and hubs can be added anytime later without requiring any change to the Switch or network configuration.
The Switch combine dynamic memory allocation with store- and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss.
