1. Introduction
Driven by recent advances in desktop computing technology, today’s network applications have increased
in speed, power and the ability to process information. To meet the demands of these more bandwidth-
intensive applications, this switch device provides significant increase in performance for your Ethernet
and Fast Ethernet network. The switch comes with 24 10/100 Fast Ethernet switched ports,
each capable of transferring information simultaneously at full wire speed to control and allocate the net
work bandwidth. It also provides two optional Gigabit Ethernet slots for Gigabit access.
The key features of the switch units are:
• High Port-count and High Bandwidth:
Combining large number of 10/100Mbps based Fast Ethernet switched ports and two Gigabit ports, the
switches deliver a tremendous aggregated bandwidth for your network.
• Easy Migration:
With 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-X support, the switch provides a
non-disruptive and smooth migration path from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet, and to Gigabit
Ethernet network.
• Easy Installation:
With the functions of auto-speed-sensing and auto-negotiation on each port, the switches support plug-
and-play installation by default which eliminates configuration problems.
• Network Management:
With the built-in SNMP and web management software agent, the switch
provides network management function for advanced applications. It allows you to control and monitor
the switch remotely from anywhere in the network.
