3. Introduction to 14+2G.E. Gigabit Clustering Switch

3.1 General Description

The device is a 14+2-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Clustering switch with
fourteen Gigabit RJ-45 ports and two Gigabit slide-in slots on the rear panel for
optional fiber/copper Gigabit modules.
Compare to the traditional 10/100Mbps Ethernet, the switch delivers a dedicated
Gigabit connection to every attached client with no congestion issue. The gigabit
ports also provide the fat pipe to the server or backbone connectivity for boosting
the total system performance. Moreover, the NWay auto-negotiation operation
automatically negotiates with the connected partners on the network speed and
duplex mode; that provides an easy way to integrate 10/100/1000Mbps networks
with no pain. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into smaller,
connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the bandwidth
demanding multimedia and imaging applications.
Out of the ordinary dumb switches, the 14+2G.E. Gigabit Clustering Switch
embedded advanced management capability; that the device can be remote
managed by Telnet, SNMP manager and Internet browser. This is much useful for
system manager to monitor and control the system efficiently.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all
the network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under
full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of the frames can occur
simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double the network
bandwidth.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully
compliant with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic
LEDs on the front-panel provide the operating status of individual port and
whole system.
