a network more efficiently than bridges or routers in most environments.

In the following sections, the term “Switch” will represent Planet’s FSD-800, and “switch” for third part Ethernet switches. This Switch is a highly reliable network switch and is the ideal device for bridging Ethernet to Fast Ethernet workgroups or networks. Simple and cost-effective, the Switch complies with IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3, 100Base-TX, and 10Base-T. Therefore, the Switch will be the fast being recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today networking technology.

Compact in size and designed for Plug and Play installation, the Switch allows the network administrator to simply connect the network and power cables and the switching/bridging functions begin automatically. No hardware or software configurations are required.

The front panel of the Switch provides LED indicators for easy recognition of the switch operation status and for troubleshooting. These LED indicators display the power status for the system and link, speed, full duplex, and receive status for each port.
