high speed connection to a local server, and one additional slot for a High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) which can provide FDDI, ATM, Gigabit Ethernet, or WAN connectivity depending on the type of HSIM installed. The only difference between the two devices is that the 2E43-51 supports a single power supply, and the 2E43-51R supports dual, redundant power supplies.

•The 2H23-50RSmartSwitch is a 48 port MicroLAN 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch (4 separately repeated MicroLANs of 12 ports each, via four RJ21 Telco connectors). The 2H23-50R also provides two FEPIM slots for uplinks, and features redundant internal power supplies.

•The 2H33-37RSmartSwitch is a 36 port MicroLAN 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch (3 separately repeated MicroLANs of 12 ports each, via RJ21 Telco connectors). A single HSIM slot is also provided, as are redundant internal power supplies.

•The 2E48-27and 2E48-27RSmartSwitches, which have a total of 27 ports consisting of 24 built-in front panel 10Base-FL multimode fiber ST ports, two front panel slots for optional Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules (FEPIMs) to support an uplink to 100 Mbps Ethernet backbones or a high speed connection to a local server, and one additional slot for a High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) which can provide FDDI, ATM, Gigabit Ethernet, or WAN connectivity depending on the type of HSIM installed. The only difference between the two devices is that the 2E48-27 supports a single power supply, and the 2E48-27R supports dual, redundant power supplies.

•The 2E49-27and 2E49-27RSmartSwitches, which have a total of 27 ports consisting of 24 built-in front panel 10Base-FL single mode fiber ST ports, two front panel slots for optional Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules (FEPIMs) to support an uplink to 100 Mbps Ethernet backbones or a high speed connection to a local server, and one additional slot for a High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) which can provide FDDI, ATM, Gigabit Ethernet, or WAN connectivity depending on the type of HSIM installed. The only difference between the two devices is that the 2E49-27 supports a single power supply, and the 2E49-27R supports dual, redundant power supplies.

•The 2H252-25RSmartSwitch, which provides 24 10/100 Ethernet ports via RJ45 connectors, as well as a VHSIM slot, which can accept any oHSIMs or the VHSIM-G6Gigabit Ethernet High Speed Interface Module.

•The 2E253-49RSmartSwitch, which provides 48 Ethernet ports via 4 RJ21 Telco connectors, redundant internal power supplies, and a single VHSIM slot.

•The 2H22-08RSmartSwitch, which has a total of eight ports consisting of six built-in front panel 10/100BaseTX RJ45 ports and two front panel slots for optional Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules (FEPIMs) to support an uplink to 100 Mbps Ethernet backbones or a high speed connection to a local server. The 2H22-08R supports dual, redundant power supplies.
