Introduction
General Description
Easily boosting your networking throughput, the Gigabit Web smart switch
provides you 8* 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit ports that lead you to a real
Gigabit connection. Users are now able to transfer high
bandwidth-demanded files faster and hence get a real efficiency
improvement with the user-friendly Web-based management interface.
The management functionalities provide efficient network usage. VLAN
reduces the collisions in network. Port Aggregation enlarges the bandwidth
of backbone connection. QoS is supported to secure the bandwidth for some
bandwidth-demanded services including VoIP or videoconference . Flow
control also co ntributes for ensuring the correctness of data transmitting.
The 802.3x and backpressure flow control mechanisms work respectively
for full and half duplex modes.
Sufficient compatibility enhances easy installation and maintenance. The
switch supports Nway auto-negotiation protocol, which detects the
networking speed (either 10/100/1000 Mbps) and the duplex modes (Full or
Half duplex mode) automatically and do an immediately adjustment to
advance the capability. Auto-MDI/MDI-X function alleviates the effort to use
crossover cables. Users need not to prepare crossover cables for equipment
connectivity. Also, rich diagnostic LEDs are provided for users to get
real-time information of the connection status that helps to do quick
response and correction.
