Applications
PC Workgroup
Both the
Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch
and the
can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to
have 100 Mbps access to a file server. Compared with a hub, where the network
bandwidth is shared among all users, the
switch
provides dedicated 10 or 100 Mbps bandwidth to each PC.
