1. Introduction 
Congratulations on your purchase of this Fast/Gigabit 
Ethernet Smart Switch. This high performance smart switch 
provides Ethernet ports to segment network traffics, extend 
Ethernet connection distance, and convert data packets between 
different transmission speeds. 
 
This switch utilizes stored-and-forward switching 
architecture that filters and forwards data after the complete data 
packet is received and examined to be free of errors.    With one 
set of status LEDs for each individual port, the switch operation 
status can be easily monitored. 
 
All the Fast Ethernet ports support both Full and Half 
duplex mode which are able to provide up to 200Mbps 
(2000Mbps for Gigabit Ports) of bandwidth to the connected 
devices, with auto-negotiation providing the capability to 
connect to 100/10Mbps(1000/100/10Mbps for Gigabit ports) 
network devices. It also supports backpressure and IEEE 802.3x 
advanced flow control
 capabilities that can reduce congestion 
and prevent packet loss. 
 
And it offers advance features: 
  VLAN: Port-based and Tag-based VLAN allow you to set 
virtual LANs within your network 
  Trunking: Reduce the bottleneck between switches 
  QoS: Two priority queues per port allow you to define 
which port has higher priority. 
  Expansion Slot Option: Provides copper or fiber 
(multi/single mode) module option 
In addition, all the ports support the MDI/MDI-X 
auto-detect function. That is to say, you can connect any device 
(including PC, Switch, Hub) to a port of this switch using a 
regular cable. The RJ-45 port will auto-detect and auto-switch to 
the correct MDI/MDI-X mode (do not need to use a specific 
uplink port or cross-over cable).
