Introduction
General Description
This Switch will instantly boost your networking throughput because it provides
you with 8 Gigabit ports that enable true Gigabit connectivity. Users are now
able to transfer large and bandwidth-hungry files faster and hence get a real
efficiency improvement. This efficiency is further enhanced by the user-friendly
Web-based management interface. In addition to the 8 copper ports, the
Switch offers 1 fiber port that can be used in the place of the nr. 8 copper
port (these are interchangeable or ‘combo’ ports). This mini-GBIC slot
offers the option of a long-distance, fiber-based connection. Use of the
mini-GBIC port automatically disables its corresponding copper port.

The management functions enable efficient network usage. VLAN reduces the
collisions caused by broadcasting. Port Aggregation enlarges the bandwidth of
the backbone connection. QoS secures the bandwidth for some
bandwidth-hungry applications like VoIP and video conferencing. The Switch
also supports 802.3x and backpressure flow control mechanisms to ensure
the correctness of data transmission.
