Introduction

This switch is a low-cost, easy-to-use, high-performance, standard switch to upgrade your old 10 Mbps network to a 100 Mbps network. It boosts your net- work performance up to full duplex data transfer, and it can forward packets as fast as the packets are delivered to the switch. Each port can be used as a general port or as an uplink port for another switch, and will automatically switch its con- figuration appropriately.
