INTRODUCTION 
This chapter describes the features of the DES-1016D and some background 
information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. 
Fast Ethernet Technology 
The growing importance of LANs and th e increasing complexity of desktop 
computing applications are fueling the  need for high performance networks. 
A number of high-speed LAN technologi es have been proposed to provide 
greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times.  Among them, 
100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet)...

Switching Technology 
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the 
development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at 
the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol, transmitting among 
connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. 
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity 
available to users on a local area network.  A switch increases capacity and 
decreases network loading by dividing a local area...

4.  Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate 
ventilation around the Switch. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch. 
Desktop Installation 
When installing the Switch on a desktop, the rubber feet included 
with the device must be attached  first. Attach these cushioning 
feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough 
ventilation space between the device and the objects around it.
