2.1 Product Description
The ProSwitch
®
-2600M is a high performance 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation switch
with SNMP/RMON web-based management capability. From a departmental backbone
managing lower-level switches, hubs and workstations to high-speed switch-to-switch and
switch-to-server links, the 2600M delivers outstanding performance in every environment.
With IGMP and VLAN functions, the 2600M ensures maximum bandwidth by reducing
multicast transmissions and distributing data over the most efficient media and pathway.
With Quality of Service (QoS) support, the 2600M provides the capability to prioritize
certain tasks on the network. This is particularly useful for sending voice or video over a
switched network. The modular design of the 2600M provides increased flexibility so you
can customize up to 26 usable ports to meet your network requirements.

3.1 Location of the ProSwitch
®
- 2600M
The 2600M can be place on a flat surface (your desk, shelf or table) or mounted onto a
rack. As you consider the location for the 2600M, consider the following connection issues:
 The switch is accessible and the cables can be connected easily to the switch.
 The cables connected to the switch are away from sources of electrical interference
such as radio, computer monitor, and light fixtures.
 There is sufficient space surrounding the switch to allow for proper ventilation (the
switch may not function according to specifications beyond the temperature range of 0
to 50 degrees C).
