Provides 1.5M bytes Packet Memory Buffer.

Provides Flow-Control mechanism to ensure zero packet loss. They are IEEE802.3x for Full-Duplex operation and Back-Pressure for Half-Duplex operation.

Provides Store-and-Forward forwarding scheme.

Provides 1 DB9 RS-232C console interface configured as DTE for operation, diagnostics, status, and configuration information.

Provides Menu-Driven console interface from the console port by VT-100 compatible terminal. Provides Port-Mirroring function on port 8.

Provides Link Aggregation function (2,3 or 4 ports per link). Supports up to 4 Trunk groups.

Supports IEEE 802.3ac frame extension for VLAN Tagging. Supports Tag-Based VLAN as in IEEE 802.1Q.

Supports up to 32 Port-Based VLANs. Provides 4-level priority for switching.

￿Supports 19Gbps backbone bandwidth.

Gigabit Ethernet Switch (19 inches case)

2.3.11000BASE-T

The switch is primarily used for network backbone connections.

For the 1000BASE-T TP port, it provides an Auto-Negotiation function that senses for the attached device's maximum operating speed and automatically sets the Switch to operate at that speed. Users only need to connect a network cable into any TP port, and the Auto-Negotiation function will do the rest.

2.3.2Cabling

1000Mbps - To transmit at 1000Mbps requires Category 5 TP cabling that must use all Four (4) pairs twisted-pair wire for RJ-45 connector.

100Mbps - To transmit at 100Mbps requires Category 5 TP cabling.

10Mbps - When transmitting at 10Mbps Category 3, 4 or 5 TP cabling with RJ-45 sockets can be used.

Port Type	Cable Type	Connector
1000BASE-T	Cat.5 TP	RJ-45
100BASE-TX	Cat.5 TP	RJ-45
10BASE-T	Category 3, 4 or 5 TP	RJ-45

Note: Category 5 TP cable recommended whenever installing new cabling.

To transmit at 1000Mbps requires Category 5 TP cable using Four (4) pairs Twisted-Pair wire.
