1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of FSW-1621/2421.
The FSW-1621/2421, 16/24-port 10/100Base-TX Switch, is a multi-port
Switch that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup
networks. This switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency
for high-speed networking. The Switch is targeted at workgroup,
department or backbone computing environment at SME (small, medium
enterprise) business.
The 16/24-port 10/100Base-TX Switch features a “store-and-forward
“switching scheme. This allows the switch to auto-learn and store source
address on 8K/4K-entry MAC address table.
