ENH908-NWY

8 Port Switch
The Encores EN908-NWY is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet switching hub, with all ports capable of 10 or 100Mbps auto-negotiation operation (NWay) which means the switch could automatically negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for microsegmenting large networks into smaller one, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications. Moreover, the 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy way to migrate 10Mbps to 100Mbps network with no pain. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switching hub delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion issue. This switch also supports auto MDI/MDI-X crossover function which means each port could be used to connect to another switch or hub using a straight thru or a crossover RJ-45 cable. Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all the network errors, including run and CRC error packets. The switching hub is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols.

Features:

User Guide

The ENH908-NWY is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet switch, with all ports capable of 10 or 100Mbps auto-negotiation operation (NWay), which means the switch could automatically negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications. Compared to the shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switch delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion issue. This switch also supports auto MDI / MDI-X function. Each port could be used to connect to another switch or hub with no crossover RJ-45 cable. 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 without any software to configure and also 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. Before you start to install the switch, check the following contents in this package One NWay switch One external power adapter Users manual

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 stations 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. For cable selection, refer to the following table Network Speed 10Mbps 100Mbps Cable Type Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Cat. 5 UTP/STP Max. Length 100 meters 100 meters
