Instant Gigabit Series The LED Indicators The 10/100/1000 Workgroup GigaSwitch’s Front Panel EtherFast® 10/100/1000 8+1 Workgroup GigaSwitch Planning Your Network Overview Building a Gigabit network involves more topology rules in addition to the 10BaseT/100BaseT network rules. These rules specify distance limitations and cabling specifications. Data loss, collisions, and other network problems causing down time are likely to occur if the rules below are not followed. Power Amber.
Instant Gigabit Series nates the need to purchase new hardware, rewire and reconfigure an entire site all at once. This scalability factor ensures that Fast Ethernet will not fall obsolete to upgrades in speed standards and maintains use of all your old equipment until you decide to buy speedier replacements. Scalability allows you to budget for your networking needs over time. Now networks can run fast and slow segments at the same time for different users and departments.

The Power LED will light up. As devices make connections to the Switch’s ports, each port's corresponding Link/Act LED will light up. The remaining LEDs will also light up according to how your connection is made, e.g. full or half duplex, 10Mbps or 100Mbps.
Instant Gigabit Series Glossary 10BaseT - An Ethernet standard that uses twisted wire pairs. 100BaseTX - IEEE physical layer specification for 100 Mbps over two pairs of Category 5 UTP or STP wire. 1000BASE-T - provides half-duplex (CSMA/CD) and full-duplex 1000Mbps Ethernet service over Category 5 links as defined by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A. Topology rules for 1000BASE-T are the same as those used for 100BASE-TX. Category 5 link lengths are limited to 100 meters by the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568A cabling standard.
Instant Gigabit Series Unlike e-mail programs in which graphics and program files have to be "attached," FTP is designed to handle binary files directly and does not add the overhead of encoding and decoding the data. Full Duplex - The ability of a device or line to transmit data simultaneously in both directions. Half Duplex - Data transmission that can occur in two directions over a single line, but only one direction at a time.
