1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of this eight ports Gigabit
Smart Switch. This high performance Gigabit switch provides
eight 1000/100/10Mbps Gigabit Ports to allow simultaneous
transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data
channel.

The built in console interface can be used to configure
the switch’s settings for priority queuing, VLAN,
Trunking, Port Monitoring and Port speed.

This Gigabit switch utilizes store-and-forward switching
architecture that filters and forwards data after the complete data
packet is received and examined to be free of errors. The front
panel of this switch provides LEDs for easy recognition of the
switch operation status and for troubleshooting.

All the Gigabit ports support both Full and Half duplex which
are able to provide up to 2000Mbps of bandwidth to the
connected devices, with auto-negotiation providing the
capability to connect to 1000/100/10Mbps network devices. It
also supports backpressure and IEEE 802.3x advanced flow
control capabilities that can reduce congestion and prevent
packet loss.

In addition, all the ports support the MDI/MDI-X auto-detect
function. That is to say, you can connect any device (including
PC, Switch, Hub) to a port of this switch using a regular cable.
The RJ-45 port will auto-detect and auto-switch to the correct
MDI/MDI-X mode (do not need to use a specific uplink port or
cross-over cable).
