DES-2212 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
Switch
Switch
The DES-2212 is an Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switch for networks needing
improved performance, the ability to interconnect between 10Mbps and
100Mbps Ethernet networks, and SNMP network management capability.
improved performance, the ability to interconnect between 10Mbps and
100Mbps Ethernet networks, and SNMP network management capability.
Ports
The DES-2212 has twelve ports, four NWay 10BASE-TX
Ethernet/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports, and eight 10BASE-T twisted-
pair Ethernet ports. Among the Fast Ethernet ports, one of the ports can also
use an industry-standard MII connector, making it possible to interface to
different types of 100BASE-X Fast Ethernet network media, such as
100BASE-FX fiber optic cable or 100BASE-T4 twisted pair.

Another of the 100BASE-TX ports can optionally serve as an uplink port,
making it possible to connect the port to a Fast Ethernet hub without using a
crossover cable.
