CHAPTER 3: APPLICATIONS
This chapter presents an overview of the levels of service provided by incorporating the technology of the Model FS518T Fast Ethernet Switch into your network.
The Model FS518T switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your network connections. Each switch can be used as a stand-alone device or can be used with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps hubs or other interconnection devices in various configurations. The configuration examples in this chapter illustrate the integration of the NETGEAR Model FS518T Fast Ethernet Switch with Gigabit uplinks in network environments of all sizes and types. These examples include a network of a few workstations connected to a printer or a segmented network with multiple users or workgroups and other networking devices.
