Overview
Full compatibility with traditional shared hubs
makes the Madge Smart DeskStream ™ a
simple, low-risk solution for enhancing any
simple, low-risk solution for enhancing any
Token Ring workgroup, delivering high-
performance switching at the lowest possible
performance switching at the lowest possible
price.
Desktop Switching
Until now, users have only had shared
access to a 4 or 16 Mbps ring. The Smart
DeskStream changes this, making desktop
switching a realistic and affordable
alternative.
Now every user can have a dedicated 16
Mbps full-duplex connection and low-
latency access to a high-speed backbone,
with additional benefits that include:

Powerful, Scalable Connectivity
The Smart DeskStream employs low-
latency switching and traffic prioritization to
deliver wire-speed bandwidth to every
desk, while the highly-scalable stacking
architecture offers simple expansion up to
200+ ports.
For high-speed backbone connectivity, 100
Mbps Token Ring and 155 Mbps ATM option
modules are available, while the integration
of Ethernet devices is supported with a fast,
layer-2 translational switching 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet option module.

Easy Integration into Existing
Networks
With auto-speed and auto-media sensing
ports and support for various forwarding
techniques, the Smart DeskStream can
replace shared hubs without re-configuring
the network. Gradual migration is facilitated
through a provision for connecting shared
hubs and a fiber option module for
connection to fiber trunks.
