FCC STATEMENT The Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. [. . . ] A 10Mbps interface is also required for cable and DSL connections, which are quickly becoming very popular ways to access the Internet. The Switch provides your 10BaseT equipment and cable and DSL lines with a 10Mbps interface while still running your Fast Ethernet devices at 100Mbps or your Gigabit devices at 1000Mbps. · Strengthen Data Transfers through Signal Regeneration The Switch functions as a repeater, which regenerates data signals as they pass through it. This feature acts as a safeguard to deter data loss and ensure that transmissions arrive at their destination intact. Switches positioned between hubs can preserve your data's integrity and eliminate your need to buy and use repeaters in your Fast Ethernet or Gigabit network. 4 5 Instant Gigabit® Series Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch Appendix A: 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 and full-duplex 1000Mb/s 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-T. Category 5 link lengths are limited to 100 meters by the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A cabling standard. Adapter - Printed circuit board that plugs into a PC to add to capabilities or connectivity to a PC. In a networked environment, a network interface card is the typical adapter that allows the PC or server to connect to the intranet and/or Internet. It includes the network's topology, transmission technologies and communications protocols, management and security systems, and any other attributes that give a network a particular set of capabilities and functionalities. Auto-MDI/MDIX - On a network hub or switch, an auto-MDI/MDIX port automatically senses if it needs to act as a MDI or MDIX port. The auto-MDI/MDIX capability eliminates the need for crossover cables. For example, Ethernet 10/100 cards, hubs and switches can determine the highest speed of the node they are connected to and adjust their transmission rate accordingly. DSL provides "always-on" operation, eliminating the need to dial in to the service. Ethernet - IEEE standard network protocol that specifies how data is placed on and retrieved from a common transmission medium. Forms the underlying transport vehicle used by several upper-level protocols, including TCP/IP and XNS. Fast Ethernet - A 100 Mbps technology based on the 10Base-T Ethernet CSMA/CD network access method. Full Duplex - The ability of a device or line to transmit data simultaneously in both directions. 7 6 Instant Gigabit® Series Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch Half Duplex - Data transmission that can occur in two directions over a single line, but only one direction at a time. Hardware - Hardware is the physical aspect of computers, telecommunications, and other information technology devices. The term arose as a way to distinguish the "box" and the electronic circuitry and components of a computer from the program you put in it to make it do things. [. . . ] Since some telephone sets or desktop locations require multiple connections, twisted pair is sometimes installed in two or more pairs, all within a single cable. Workgroup - Two or more individuals that share files and databases.
