Description

The AT-FS201, AT-FS202, and AT-FS203 Series of Fast Ethernet Switches
are designed to interconnect LAN devices and subnetworks over large
distances into an integrated network. These dual-port switches can also be
used to improve the performance of your network by dividing it into smaller,
more manageable segments.

The AT-FS201 and AT-FS202 Switches feature one 10/100Base-TX twisted
pair port with an operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet), and a
100Base-FX fiber optic port with an operating distance of 2 kilometers (1.2
miles) to 75 kilometers (46.5 miles), depending on the model.

The AT-FS203 Switch features two 10/100Base-TX ports, each with a
maximum distance of 100 meters (328 feet).

These Fast Ethernet switches can be installed either as standalone units,
such as on a table, or in an AT-MCR12 or AT-TRAY4 Chassis. They are easy
to install and do not require software configuration or management. The
following figures illustrate the front and rear panels of each switch.
