Introduction
This device is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet
switch, with all ports capable of 10 or 100Mbps auto-negotiation
operation (NWay), which means this switch could automatically
negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and
duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into
smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling
the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications.
Moreover, the 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an
easy way to migrate 10Mbps to 100Mbps network with no pain.
Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the
switch delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every
attached client with no bandwidth congestion issue. This switch
also supports auto MDI / MDI-X function; each port could be
used to connect to another switch or hub with no crossover
RJ-45 cable.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency
plus eliminates all the network errors, including runt and CRC
error packets. To work under full-duplex mode, transmission and
reception of the frames can occur simultaneously without
causing collisions as well as double the network bandwidth.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and
also fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover,
the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel can provide the
operating status of individual port and whole system.
