NETGEAR FS 726 - Manual (Page 12)

1-3 introduction
Additional Features
The FS726 and FS750 Switches share the following features:
• Uplink adaptability for either copper gigabit or fiber gigabit modules
• Auto Uplink TM to automatically configure the RJ-45 ports for use with either
straight-through or crossover cables to make the right connection
• Non-blocking, wire-speed filtering and forwarding of the traffic on all ports
• Scalability to meet your growing network needs, enabling performance to keep pace
with port density
• High-speed bandwidth over uplink connections
• Easy Plug-and-Play installation with no software to configure, for quick and easy
connection to new or existing 10 and 100 Mbps users and services
• Store-and-forward intelligent processing to remove erroneous packets from
the network
• Automatic address-learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table.
The table contains up to 8,000 media access control (MAC) addresses (that is, the
switch can support networks with as many as 8,000 devices).
• Link speed auto-sensing (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode auto-sensing (half- or
full-duplex) to optimize connectivity and allow companies to migrate to Fast Ethernet
one port at a time
• Full-duplex mode to double throughput of point-to-point connections by enabling
individual ports to transmit and receive data concurrently
• IEEE 802.3x-compliant flow control to prevent dropped packets due to network
back-ups and bottlenecks
