Installation Guide for the Model FS516 Fast Ethernet Switch

1-4 Introduction

• Minimum latency of packet transmission (leading edge to leading edge) less than 80

• Easy Plug-and-Play installation with no software to conﬁgure, which saves time and

minimizes the potential for conﬁguration errors

• Normal/Uplink push button to simplify network extension

The switch can be connected to a hub using a simple, straight-through cable.

• Protocol independence and compatibility with all common protocols such as TCP/IP,

NetWare, DECnet, and Microsoft Networks

• Sixteen vista RJ-45 network ports with built-in LEDs to monitor individual port status

• Microprocessor-based design to monitor network utilization, collisions, and link status

• A comprehensive LED indicator panel for monitoring switching condition and individual

port status
