1. Introduction

The MIL-SM808G managed compact desktop switch is an ideal solution for a Fiber network infrastructure. It provides wire-speed, Fast Ethernet switching providing high-performance data transfer. The switch features a store-and-forward architecture with auto-learning of source addresses with an 8K-entry MAC address table.

The switch provides eight switched 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Fiber ports and one GBIC slot for a GBIC transceiver. The fiber port connectors are available in either SC (single mode or multi-mode) or ST (multi-mode).

With built-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring the switch is simplified. The Web Browser may be used to configure and manage the network, from cabinet level management to port level control and monitoring. Use of a mouse replaces typing of command strings. The switch can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or SNMP Management.
