Installation Guide for the Model SW510 and Model SW518 Ethernet Switches Bridging from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps Networks The Model SW518 switch functions as a bridge connecting traditional Ethernet networks to 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet networks. Users requiring increased network bandwidth can be grouped together in the 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network isolated from the network users who need occasional network connection to the server. Figure 3-3 illustrates the Model SW518 Ethernet switch connected to a group of 10 Mbps users. The users who require more power are networked to the NETGEAR FE516 Fast Ethernet hubs. 2 1 Link Full Link Full 4 Link Full Link Full 3 5 5 5 6 752EA Key: 1 = Model SW518 Ethernet switch ((Normal/Uplink push button to configure port 18 set to Uplink position; Normal/Uplink push button to configure port 16 set to Normal position) 2 = Two FE516 Fast Ethernet hubs cascaded on the backplane 3 = PCs with adapter card installed, enabling 100 Mbps connection 4 = Server with adapter card installed, enabling 100 Mbps connection 5 = Model EN516 Ethernet hubs with 10 Mbps connection (Normal/Uplink push button set to Uplink position) 6 = PCs with 10 Mbps connection Figure 3-3.
