Model FS516/FS524 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide

The Model FS516/FS524 switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring

your network connections. Each switch can be used as a standalone device or

can be used with 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps hubs or other interconnection devices in

various configurations. The configuration examples in this section illustrate the

integration of the switches in network environments of all sizes and types. These

examples include a network of a few workstations connected to a printer or a

segmented network with multiple users or workgroups and other networking

devices.

Desktop Switching

The Model FS516/FS524 switch is used as a desktop switch to build a small

network that enables users to have 100 Mbps access to a file server. If a full-

duplex adapter card is installed in the server or PC, a 200 Mbps connection is

possible on the port where the server or PC is connected.

Segment Switching and Bridging from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps

The Model FS516/FS524 switch is used to segment a network into multiple connected pieces,

increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. Both switch models can segment networks that are

built with the NETGEAR Model DS508 and Model EN516 hubs and can function as bridges

connecting traditional 10BASE-T Ethernet networks to 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks.
