Installation Guide for the Model FS516 Fast Ethernet Switch High-Bandwidth File Servers The Model FS516 switch increases bandwidth for workgroups and strengthens network throughput when accessing high-volume file servers. The switch provides parallel communication between each of the ports. This method of communication allows multiple conversations to occur concurrently, expands overall throughput, and enables key servers or other heavily used devices to be available to more users. Figure 3-5 illustrates the Model FS516 Fast Ethernet Switch integrated with two NETGEAR Model FE508 Fast Ethernet Hubs. A full-duplex configurable adapter card installed in the server provides up to 200 Mbps maximum data throughput. 2 2 1 3 3 4 4 5 5 8240FA Key: 1 = Model FS516 Fast Ethernet Switch (Normal/Uplink push button set to Normal position) 2 = Server with full-duplex 100 Mbps connection (200 Mbps) 3 = 100 Mbps connection 4 = Model FE508 Fast Ethernet Hub (Normal/Uplink push button set to Uplink position) 5 = PCs with 100 Mbps connection Figure 3-5.
