1. Introduction Gigabit Ethernet over copper technology is a proven cost-effective way for network equipment to be upgraded from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit speeds. The need of expensive fiber optic cabling for Gigabit speeds is eliminated by using standard 4-pair Category 5e copper cabling. This technology creates high-speed backbone connections between switches, servers, databases, and workstations. Unicom's 5 and 8 Port Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Switches are an ideal solution for solving traffic

3. Installation Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy. Ensure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation and the attachment of the power cord and cables. Attaching Rubber Feet A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and dust free. B. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet. C. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch.

4. Network Application This section provides a sample of network topology in which the MicroGST/5 and 8 switches are used. In general, the MicroGST switches are designed as high-bandwidth backbone switches. You can use the MicroGST switches to connect servers, switches, workstations, and PCs to each other by connecting these devices directly to the Switch. The Switch automatically learns node addresses, which are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination addres
