The FX-16NW 16 Port Fast Ethernet Switching Hub features sixteen

10/100BASE-TX auto-negotiation switch ports. The Switch is rack-

mountable, and fully supports IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and IEEE 802.3u

100BASE-TX standards. All of the 16 STP ports support RJ-45 twisted-

pair cables, and the Auto-Negotiation feature automatically detects the

appropriate data transfer speed (10/100Mbps) as well as the duplex mode

(full/half duplex). Each port is also equipped with LED indicators that

display the latest status of the hub and the network.

The FX-16NW Switching Hub supports the VLAN and Trunking features.

One or more ports can make up one VLAN group, and the user may utilize

up to sixteen of such VLAN groups in the Switch. Thanks to the Trunking

t e c h n o l o g y, the Switch achieves a data transfer speed of up to 800Mbps

when linked to another hub with Trunking support. Four ports are

“bundled” into one high-throughput “trunk” to achieve this speed.

Furthermore, the Switch supports Spanning Tree Protocol that provides

redundancy to the entire network.

※The Switch does not support Trunking connection to devices other than

FX-16NW.

To ensure maximum safety and good performance, please read carefully and

follow all the directions in this manual. It is assumed that you have some

basic understanding of Local Area Networking (LAN) concepts as bridging,

IEEE802.3 10BASE-T Ethernet, and IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast

Ethernet.
