Linksys EG005W - Instant Gigabit Workgroup Switch User manual

Gigabit 5-Port
Workgroup Switch
he Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch provides non-block-
ing, wire speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000
megabit network clients. Drop this switch in place of your
current workgroup hub or switch, and you can upgrade your
high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit speeds as neces-
sary, while continuing to service other clients at their current
speeds. Or build your network from the ground up, with appro-
priate link speeds for each user's requirements.
Apply this switching power to your current hub-based Ethernet
network, and your data traffic efficiency will improve several
times over. Connect your Gigabit-equipped workstations to the
Switch's 10/100/1000 ports for full-duplex, dedicated bandwidth
of up to 2000Mbps! It's perfect for graphics, multimedia, and
other applications that have to move large files across the net-
work quickly.
With the Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch, you can connect your
existing 10/100 Ethernet network to your Gigabit server back-
bone without any additional equipment. All ports are auto-nego-
tiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so
you don't have to worry about the cable type. Address learning
and aging is supported, as well as 802.3x flow control with
head-of-line blocking prevention to keep your high-speed clients
from bogging down in lower-speed traffic.
The Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch from Linksys is the perfect
solution for your desktop Gigabit and 10/100 networking needs.
