Description:
As a device functioning on the media access control (MAC) layer, the Model SW502 switches are protocol-independent, and are compatible with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, TCP/IP, NetWare, DECnet, and XNS protocols. They can be easily configured in most environments as a standalone device to form a workgroup consisting of two to seven subnetworks or workstations, as a simple twisted-pair LAN, or as a multiport bridge. With its low port-to-port latency and high-forwarding efficiency, the Ethernet switches can also be connected to other switching hubs.
