1. Introduction

Driven by recent advances in desktop computing technology, today’s
network applications have grown speed, power and the ability to pro­cess information. To meet the demands of these more powerful applica­tions, the switch has been developed to alleviate congestion and im­prove performance on your Ethernet network. The switch comes with
multiple ports, with each capable of transmitting or receiving informa­tion simultaneously at full wire speed to control and allocate the net­work bandwidth.

Figure 1-1 Switch Unit

The key features of this switch unit are:

• Combining one fixed 10/100Mbps-based fast Ethernet switched
port, the switch provides a non-disruptive and smooth migration
path from Ethernet to a Fast Ethernet network.

• With one expansion slot, the switch allows you to connect an
additional 10/100Mbps auto sensing port or an optional 100Base­FX fiber optic port module to connect to a Fast Ethernet fiber optic
backbone.

• Combining multiple speeds and multiple media support in the
same unit, the switch can meet your diversified application
requirements.

1.1 Features

Designed for resolving congestion problems caused by bandwidth-hun­gry devices and bandwidth-intensive applications as well as a high num­ber of users, the switch not only adheres to the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T
and 100BASE-T standard, but also features:

• Various TP ports for flexible connection to servers and hubs.

- eight 10BASE-T ports

- one 10/100BASE-TX port

- one expansion port slot for optional high-speed

10/100BASE-TX module or 100BASE-FX module

• The 10/100BASE-TX port and module support:

- auto speed sensing for 100Mbps or 10Mbps connection

- auto configuration with NWay devices

• Self learning for network configuration

• Store and forward switching to ensure only good packets are forwarded

• Full-duplex or half-duplex operation support for all switched ports

• Support manual settings for the connection with non-NWay devices

• Forwarding and filtering at full wire speed

• User-friendly designs

- comprehensive LED indicators provide quick, easy to

read port and hub information

- rack mount kit provided

- crossover switches for port #8 and #9 allow connection to

different types of devices with a straight cable instead
of a modified crossover cable

- expansion port slot for adding another 100BASE-TX segment

or a 100BASE-FX fiber segment to a Fast Ethernet fiber

backbone.
