Fast Ethernet Switch User Guide

ABOUT THE EZ Switch 10/100
The EZSwitch 10/100 SMC108DT is an 8-port Fast Ethernet switch. The
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports deliver dedicated 10/100Mbps links to each
attached LAN segment – all with conventional cabling and adapters.
Auto-Negotiation is used to select the optimal communication mode
for each connection. Auto-sensing is used to select the optimal trans-
mission speed for each connection. With store-and-forward switching
and flow control, maximum data integrity is always maintained, even
under heavy loading. Easy installation and reliability make this plug-
and-play switch an ideal choice for smooth Fast Ethernet integration.
