LevelOne FSW-2409TFX, FSW-1609TFX user manual

upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switches now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the network.

The Switches 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.

The Switches are an unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch offering solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup bandwidth. Other key features are:

Auto-MDI function supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function gives true ‘plug and play’ capability without the need of confusing crossover cables or crossover ports.

Store and forward switching scheme capability. As the result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments.

NWay Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing you with automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections.

Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port’s receiving buffer is full. Note that flow control
