2. INSTALLATION

This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.

In the following section, the term “Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch” means the ISW-511 / ISW-621 series.

2.1 Product Description

The PLANET ISW-511 / ISW-621 series is 4-Port 10/100Mbps + 1/2 100FX Fiber Port Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch with non-blocking wire- speed performance and new slim type with IP 30 metal shape for easily deployment in Heavy Industrial demanding environments.

With a 1/1.2Gbps internal switching fabric, the Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.

The Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch has 2K MAC address table and offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The stable throughput of the device makes it ideal for most Ethernet environments.

All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100Mbps Auto-negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 5, 4 or 3 cables. Support standard for Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or crossover cables.

The flow control function allows Industrial Fast Ethernet Switch supported routers and servers to directly connect to this device for fast, reliable data transfer.
