DES-1008M User’s Guide

RODUCT

The Switch is a modularized 10/100Mbps Ethernet switch that offers users the ability to configure the number of network ports and port types, and to meet all media requirements and servers’ high throughput.

The Switch provides four expansion slots, each of which supports one slidein port module with two network ports. Ports can vary from ordinary twisted-pair ports to BNC or fiber-optic ports depending on the installed modules. With these modules, you can configure the Switch to provide a maximum of eight switched Ethernet ports connecting to various network media.

By adding the Switch to your existing bandwidth-constricted Ethernet network, you can dramatically increase your available Ethernet bandwidth.

The following lists the other features of the Switch:

♦ Bandwidth Boost

The Switch segments up a workgroup to eliminate unnecessary traffic, multiply the available bandwidth, and relieve congestion on server paths.

VERVIEW

♦ Eight User-Configurable Ports

The Switch provides four expansion slots for installation of up to eight switched network ports, which can be any combination of 10BASE2, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX N-Way, 10BASE-FL, and 100BASE-FX.

DES-1008M User’s Guide

♦ Easy Installation

Supporting all media types, auto-learning of network configuration, and requiring no configuration setting, the Switch allows workgroups to implement performance enhancement quickly and easily anywhere on the network.

♦ Powerful Performance

The Switch supports wire-speed data filtering and forwarding rates, and large per-port MAC address routing table for efficient packet switching.

♦ Comprehensive LED Indicators

LED indicators are provided to report on the status of power and port status (speed, Link/Act, FDX/Col) on the connected segments. The BNC module also provides an additional indicator for reporting on port status.
