Installation and Reference for the BayStack 70 Series 10/100 Ethernet Switches

•Filtering and forwarding incoming and outgoing traffic to the appropriate route without slowing down the traffic

•Store-and-forward forwarding mode to minimize erroneous packets on the network

•Autonegotiation on each port with the following four modes:

—10BASE-T half-duplex

—10BASE-T full-duplex

—100 BASE-TX half-duplex

—100 BASE-TX full-duplex

Note: In order for ports on a BayStack 70 Series 10/100 Ethernet Switch to operate in full-duplex mode, the switch must be connected to a device that supports autonegotiation in accordance with the IEEE 802.3u specification.

•Back pressure in half-duplex mode

•Automatic polarity detection and correction

•Easy plug-and-play installation with no software to configure, which saves time and minimizes the potential for configuration errors

•A comprehensive LED indicator panel for monitoring switching condition and individual port status

•Conformity to the IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX Class II standard

•Conformity to the 802.3 10BASE-T standard

•Per port buffer sizes, as shown in Table 1-3
