segments which don’t compete with each other for network transmission capacity,
giving a decreased load on each.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments.
Traffic that needs to go from one segment to another is automatically forwarded by the
switch, without interfering with any other segments. This allows the total network
capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter
cards.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of
network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also
been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router and the setup and
maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today’s switches are an
ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.

The NetMaster G16/24 16/24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides you with a high-
performance, low-cost, easy-to-use, seamless and standard upgrade to boost your old
network to 1000Mbps. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone
connections make Gigabit a reality. Power users in the home, office, workgroup, or
creative production environment can now move large, bandwidthintensive files faster.
Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files and other applications that have to
move large files across the network almost instantly.
The NetMaster G16/24 features a non-blocking switching architecture that forwards
and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput.
MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging, IEEE802.3 x flow control for full-duplex
mode and backpressure for half-duplex mode. It is compatible with all 10,100, and
1000Mbps Ethernet devices because it is standard-based, it protects your existing
network investments while providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster
Gigabit speeds.
The NetMaster G16/24 is plug-and-play and no configuration is required. Auto
MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all ports eliminate the need for crossover cable or
Uplink port. Each port can be used as general ports or Uplink ports, and any port can
be simply plugged into a server, a hub, a router or a switch, using the straight cable or
crossover cable. Diagnostic LEDs which display link status and activity, allowing you to
quickly detect and correct problems on the network.
