the fs726 and fs750 switches share the following features:

    · uplink adaptability for either copper gigabit or fiber gigabit modules

    · auto uplink↑tm to automatically configure the rj-45 ports for use with either straight-through or crossover cables to make the right connection

    · non-blocking, wire-speed filtering and forwarding of the traffic on all ports

    · scalability to meet your growing network needs, enabling performance to keep pace with port density

    · high-speed bandwidth over uplink connections

    · easy plug-and-play installation with no software to configure, for quick and easy connection to new or existing 10 and 100 mbps users and services

    · store-and-forward intelligent processing to remove erroneous packets from the network

    · automatic address-learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. the table contains up to 8,000 media access control (mac) addresses (that is, the switch can support networks with as many as 8,000 devices).

    · link speed auto-sensing (10 or 100 mbps) and duplex mode auto-sensing (half- or full-duplex) to optimize connectivity and allow companies to migrate to fast ethernet one port at a time

    · full-duplex mode to double throughput of point-to-point connections by enabling individual ports to transmit and receive data concurrently

    · ieee 802.3x-compliant flow control to prevent dropped packets due to network back-ups and bottlenecks

    · compliance with the ieee802.3i ethernet, ieee802.3u fast ethernet standards, ieee802.3ab gigabit ethernet, and ieee802.3z gigabit ethernet.

    · led indicators to show link, speed, activity, collision, and duplex for switch status and troubleshooting.

    · rack mount kit for installing the switch in a standard 19-inch equipment rack
