1: PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.1 Product Introduction
The XGS-1024 Gigabit Ethernet Switch is designed to resolve data transfer bottle-
necks in Small to Medium sized networks. It provides 24 10/100/1000Mbps ports
with Auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX capability. All ports can be used for
ordinary network traffi c as well as for uplinks to connect with other networking
devices (i.e. routers, switches, etc.). The XGS-1024 provides 10X the performance
of a standard 10/100Mbps switch and can be a simple upgrade replacement for
resolving performance bottleneck issues associated with the use of legacy Ethernet
switch hardware. Each port within the XGS-1008 can deliver up to 2000Mbps in
full-duplex mode, making it an excellent choice as a core switch for improving
performance between devices on the local network. With easy XenConnect™
plug-and-play setup and no network management you will benefi t from a seam-
less installation, whether you are setting up a new network or upgrading a legacy
10/100 switch.
