Chapter 1 Introduction
The 4-Slot Modular Switch are multi-speed network devices combining Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet capabilities in a single compact, rack-mountable cabinet. Combining 10Mbps Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in one unit allows these switches to unclog existing LANs and provide a path to efficient, high-speed networking.
The 4-Slot Modular Switch is a combination of a 4-slot host cabinet which accepts more than 15 different media modules. A maximum configuration of 32 x 10/100Base-TX switched ports can be achieved using 4 X 8 port 10/100Base-TX modules. In the same way, a maximum configuration of 32 10/100Base-TX or 8/16/32 100Base-FX ports, or 4 x 1000Base-SX/LX/TX can be accommodated in the host cabling. Any of the above modules can be integrated to give up to many different configurations.
