Features
The DSS-8+ was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously.
The DSS-8+ with its small, compact size was specifically designed for small to middle workgroups. The DSS-8+ can be installed where space is limited; moreover, the DSS-8+ provides immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of functions.
The DSS-8+ is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.
The DSS-8+ is expandable by cascading two or more DSS-8+s together. As all ports support 200Mbps, the DSS-8+ can be cascaded from any port and to any number of DSS-8+s.
The DSS-8+ is a perfect choice for sites planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the DSS- 8+ now, and you can change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the DSS-8+s or reconfigure the network.
The DSS-8+ combines 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.
The DSS-8+ is a managed 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch that offers solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are:
Uplink/ MDI-II (media dependent interface) port for uplink to another switch, hub or repeater.
