Switching Technology To ensure network reliability, a switch monitors each of its ports for signal quality. The switch automatically disconnects stations transmitting excessive noise, then reconnects them when the problem is resolved. A switch also automatically drops data packets that exceed the maximum allowable length. This prevents a device from blocking the network by transmitting continuous data streams or extra-long packets. The FriendlyNET 7000 Series Switch supports store-

Installation Components This section describes the front- and back-panel layouts of the FS7108 and FS7016 Switches. The only control on the front panel is the uplink push-button switch. The only control on the rear panel is the power switch. The LED indicators are described in detail in Chapter 3. The uplink push-button switch is connected to a single port on each Switch. In Normal position, the port associated with the uplink switch operates like any other port on the unit. When
