NETGEAR FS 517TS User manual

As switched Fast Ethernet networks grow to serve more users and more
robust applications, the connections between devices can create sluggish
bottlenecks. NETGEAR’s FS517TS Stackable Fast Ethernet Switch
features a copper Gigabit port that alleviates the problem while delivering a
new level of cost-efficiency for Gigabit networks.The FS517TS presents
multiple configuration options with 16 Fast Ethernet ports and a dedicated
Gigabit port on the front panel.The 17th Gigabit port is used to connect to
Gigabit servers or Gigabit switches to provide a high-speed connection from
your stack to the rest of your network.
GIGABIT CONNECTIVITY
A Gigabit port on the front panel provides connectivity to a Gigabit server or switch to
eliminate bottlenecks in high-performance networks.
POWERFUL STACKABILITY
A built-in 2000 Mbps stacking port allows you to stack the switch with NETGEAR
FS524Sswitches for scaling the network up to 224 10/100 Mbps connections.Adding
another Gigabit connection to the network is as simple as putting a second FS517TS
Switch in the stack.
SIMPLIFIED SET-UP
Installation is simple and the equipment required for stacking and/or racking is included.
Auto Uplink™ automatically makes the appropriate link for the configuration.And as with
all of NETGEAR’s unmanaged switches, FS517TS includes automatic speed and full/half-
duplex sensing.
