2. One AC power cord
3. Rack-mount brackets (included, optional use)
4. Quick Start Guide
Introduction
General Description
The S18e provides 16*10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit ports and 2*SFP (mini GBIC) ports,
making it an excellent choice for a fast, cost effective and reliable networking
infrastructure. The store-and-forward architecture filters errors and forwards packets in
a non-blocking environment. Flow control ensures the accuracy of the data transmitted.
The 802.3x and backpressure flow control mechanisms work respectively for full and half
duplex modes. The two mini GBIC ports allow you to add fiber connectivity for
long-distance communication.
The switch was designed for easy installation and maintenance. It supports the Nway
auto-negotiation protocol that detects networking speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and
duplex modes (Full/Half) automatically. Auto-MDI/MDI-X function alleviates the need for
crossover cables. Also, rich diagnostic LEDs are provided for real-time connection status
information.
