General Description

The device is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet switch, with all 16 ports
capable of 10 or 100Mbps auto-negotiation operation (Nway) which means the switch
could automatically negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and
duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected
subnets for improved performance, enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and
imaging applications. Moreover, the 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy
way to migrate 10Mbps to 100Mbps network with no pain. Compared to the shared
10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the Ethernet Switch delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps
connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion issue.
