Rosewill RFS-105 User manual

The RFS-105 / RFS-108 is a high-performance Fast Ethernet
switch, with all ports capable of 10 or 100Mbps
auto-negotiation operation.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency
plus eliminates all the network errors, including runt and CRC
error packets. To work under full-duplex mode, transmission
and reception of the frames can occur simultaneously without
causing collisions as well as double the network bandwidth.
The switch is plug-n-play with no required software to
configure and fully compliant with all kinds of network
protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the
front-panel can provide the operating status of individual port
and whole system.
RFS-105 Features:
5x 10/100Mbps RJ-45 Nway ports
Supports 802.3az Green Ethernet: Detecting port
usage power saving and cable length power saving
Supports NWay protocol for speed (10/100Mbps)
and duplex mode (Half/Full) auto-detection
Supports MDI/MDI-X auto crossover
Supports full and half duplex operation on all ports
Supports back-pressure (half duplex) and flow
control (IEEE 802.3x)
Wire-speed packet filtering and forwarding rate
Store-and-forward architecture filters fragment &
CRC error packets
Supports 1K MAC address entries in whole system
384K bits (48KB) buffer memory
FCC Class B, CE

Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable.
Plug one RJ-45 connector into a RJ-45 port of the switch,
and plug the other RJ-45 connector into the station’s network
adapter. Power on the switch and then system is ready.
For cable selection, refer to the following table.

In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to
connect another switch with straight or crossover cable. As
all the ports support auto MDI / MDI-X function, using a
straight cable to make a switch-to-switch connection is
allowed.
