[. . . ] Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet adapters are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time. Switching Technology Another key development pushing the limits of Ethernet technology is in the field of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by making it possible for a local area network to be divided into different segments which don't compete with each other for network transmission capacity, giving a decreased load on each segment. The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. The switch automatically forwards traffic 3 that needs to go from one segment to another without interfering with any other segments. This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied, while maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards. Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router and the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today's switches are an ideal solution to most local area network congestion problems. Features The 4-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Copper Gigabit Ethernet Switch with External Power Supply was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously. 4 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports ??Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDIX for each port ??Supports Full/Half duplex transfer mode for 10 and 100Mbps ??S upports Full duplex transfer mode for 1000Mbps ??Wire speed reception and transmission 4 ???? Store-and-Forward switching method S upports 8K MAC addresses entities per device Supports 256 Kbytes RAM for data buffering Extensive diagnostic LEDs on the front panel IEEE 802. 3x flow control for full-duplex Back pressure flow control for half-duplex 5 UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: One 4-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch Four rubber feet with adhesive backing One external power adapter This User's Guide If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Setup The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps: 6 ???? Install the Switch at a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specification for the acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges. Install the Switch at a site free from direct sunlight, dust, electromagnetic source, and vibration.
