Speed/Disable:

This setting has six modes—100M Full, 100M Half, 10M Full, 10M Half, Auto and Disable—for speed or port disable selections.

Flow Control:

This setting determines whether or not the Switch will be handling flow control. Set Flow Control to Enable for avoiding data transfer overflow. Or it sets to Disable; there is either no flow control or other hardware/software management.

When the port is set to forced mode, then the flow control will automatically set to Disable.

QoS:

In some ports that need to have a high priority to manage the data transfer, QoS should be change. Set the port’s QoS to high to determine the port will always transfer their data first.

VLAN Settings (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)

A VLAN is a collection of switch ports that make up a single broadcast domain. You can configure a VLAN for a single switch, or for multiple switches. When you create a VLAN, you can control traffic flow and ease the administration of moves, adds, and changes on the network, by eliminating the need to change physical cabling.

On VLAN settings, there are two main settings, VID Table Setting and Port VLAN Setting.

VID Table Setting: Select the VID group that you set.

When you select VID Table Setting, press “Add new VID” to create new VID group, from port 01 ~ port 48 (48F), check on the port to be a member to this VLAN Group, and press “Apply” button to save the setting. To remove the selected VID group, select the VID group and

TEG-448WS specifications

The TRENDnet TEG-448WS is a robust and efficient 48-port Gigabit switch designed to meet the demands of enterprise-class networking. Ideal for businesses seeking reliable, high-speed connectivity, the TEG-448WS streamlines network management while enhancing performance and versatility in data handling.

One of the standout features of the TEG-448WS is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. With support for various Layer 2 protocols, including VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), the switch allows for segmentation of networks, improving both security and performance. Administrators can easily create VLANs to group devices logically, thus optimizing bandwidth usage while reducing congestion.

The switch supports a high-density design, featuring 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which helps businesses expand their local area network without compromising on speed. Additionally, the compact 1U rack-mountable design makes it a perfect fit for data centers and server rooms, maximizing space efficiency while maintaining easy accessibility.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability further enhances the TEG-448WS, allowing it to deliver power and data through the same Ethernet cable to PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. This feature can significantly reduce installation costs and simplify the deployment of network devices.

The device also includes advanced management features such as Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, enabling smoother performance for latency-sensitive applications like video conferencing and VoIP. The switch supports advanced security features like Access Control Lists (ACLs) and port security, providing businesses with the necessary tools to protect their network from unauthorized access.

Another key characteristic of the TRENDnet TEG-448WS is its fanless design, which ensures that the switch operates quietly, making it an excellent choice for office environments. This design also contributes to energy efficiency, helping to reduce operational costs and overall environmental impact.

With its combination of high performance, advanced features, and ease of management, the TRENDnet TEG-448WS stands out as a compelling choice for businesses looking to upgrade their networking infrastructure. Its ability to cater to various network settings while providing reliable performance makes it a valuable asset in any organizational context.
