Hawking Technology 10 - Manual (Page 5)

Thank you for choosing the Hawking HGS5T 5-Port
10/100/1000M Auto-sensing Gigabit Switch. This switch is
designed to integrate 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T networking environments with a standard
UTP (unshielded twisted-pair) Ethernet cable connection in
your Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) or Home
environment. Simply plug in the networking cable and the
HGS5T will automatically detect the maximum speed of the
network connection to offer smooth network migrations and
easy upgrades to network capacity. This switch also
provides a set of diagnostic LEDs for easy recognition of
network status and trouble-shooting issues.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of the IEEE 802.3 standard,
and can deliver up to a tenfold increase in throughput over
100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and up to a hundredfold increase
over 10-Mbps Ethernet. It utilizes the same packet structure
and format, as well as support for CSMA/CD protocol, full
duplex, flow control, and management objects. Because
Gigabit
Ethernet is compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps
Ethernet environments; it provides a seamless upgrade
without wasting existing investments in hardware, software,
and/or trained personnel.
