This Fast Ethernet Switch utilizes stored-and-forward switching architec-
ture that filters and forwards data after the complete data packet is
received and examined to be free of errors. With one set of status LEDs
for each individual port, the switch operation status can be easily moni-
tored. Their slim and compact design allows direct placing on the desktop
or conveniently mounted on the wall or the side of a desk to accommo-
date cabling consideration.
