Additional Features
The FS726 and FS750 Switches share the following features:
•Uplink adaptability for either copper gigabit or fiber gigabit modules
•Auto UplinkTM to automatically configure the RJ-45 ports for use with either straight-through or crossover cables to make the right connection
•Non-blocking, wire-speed filtering and forwarding of the traffic on all ports
•Scalability to meet your growing network needs, enabling performance to keep pace with port density
•High-speed bandwidth over uplink connections
•Easy Plug-and-Play installation with no software to configure, for quick and easy connection to new or existing 10 and 100 Mbps users and services
•Store-and-forward intelligent processing to remove erroneous packets from the network
•Automatic address-learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The table contains up to 8,000 media access control (MAC) addresses (that is, the switch can support networks with as many as 8,000 devices).
•Link speed auto-sensing (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode auto-sensing (half- or full-duplex) to optimize connectivity and allow companies to migrate to Fast Ethernet one port at a time
•Full-duplex mode to double throughput of point-to-point connections by enabling individual ports to transmit and receive data concurrently
•IEEE 802.3x-compliant flow control to prevent dropped packets due to network back-ups and bottlenecks
