About This Manual
This manual describes the complete line of FriendlyNET 7000 Series Gigabit
Switches. The manual often focuses on two models:
❑ FS7108 — eight-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch
plus one-port Gigabit module
❑ FS7016 — sixteen-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch with two
expansion slots
The FS7108 model is fixed in a single configuration. The FS7016 is an base
unit which may be configured in a variety of ways by adding expansion
modules.
Because the addition of an expansion module to the FS7016 base unit
effectively changes the model number of the unit (as described in “Model
Numbering Convention” on page 1-2), this manual refers to all configurations
deriving from the FS7016 (all models that are 1.5 rack-units high).
Unless otherwise noted, all information provided in this manual is applicable to
all configurations within the 7000 Series family of FriendlyNET Switches.
This manual also describes three optional slide-in modules:
❑ Gigabit SX XP Module — one-port 1000Base-SX expansion module
❑ 10/100 8-Port XP Module — eight-port 10/100Mbps expansion
module
❑ 100 FX MII Module — one-port 100Base-FX Media Independent
Interface module
