1. Introduction
Driven by recent advances in desktop computing technology, todays
network applications have increased in speed, power and the ability to
process information. To meet the demands of these more bandwidthintensive applications, this switch device provides significant increase
in performance for your Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network. The switch
comes with high number of 10/100 Fast Ethernet switched ports, each
capable of transferring information simultaneously at full wire speed to
control and allocate the network bandwidth. It also provides one Fast
Ethernet Fiber slot for uplink to fiber backbone.
The key features of the switch units are:
Easy Migration : With 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T support, the switch
provides a non-disruptive and smooth migration path from Ethernet
to Fast Ethernet network.
Easy Installation : With the functions of auto-speed-sensing and
auto-negotiation on each port, the switches support plug-and-play
installation by default which eliminates configuration problems.
Fiber Connectivity : With 100BASE-FX slot support, the switch pro-
vides an optional solution for fiber uplink when it is needed.
Network Management : With the built-in SNMP and web manage-
ment software agent, the switch provides network management function for advanced applications remotely.

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 switches not only adhere to the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T,
IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX, and 100BASE-FX standards, but also feature:
Nine of 10/100BASE-TX auto-negotiation switched ports for
flexible connections to desktop PCs, servers and hubs.
The 10/100BASE-TX switched ports support:
-auto speed sensing for 100Mbps or 10Mbps connection
-auto configuration with auto-negotiation devices
One 100Mbps Fast Ethernet fiber slot supports:
-100BASE-FX ST fiber module for MM fiber
-100BASE-FX SC fiber module for MM and SM fiber
-100BASE-FX MT-RJ fiber module for MM and SM fiber
-100BASE-FX VF-45 fiber module for MM fiber
