It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer to Fast Ethernet connectivity. The latest additions to the FS700 family are the 8-port FS-709FC with one fixed fiber uplink (1) Transmitting from an earth station to a satellite. Contrast with downlink. (2) A port on a network device that is used to connect to another network device rather than a client or server. See MDI port. and the 16-port AT-FS716. External power supply versions of the new AT-FS716 and the popular AT-FS708 and AT-FS704 add even greater flexibility to the product family. The entire FS700 family of switches is being shown March 18-24 in Allied Telesyn's booth - No. D63 in hall 11 - at CeBIT `99 in Hannover, Germany. "Allied Telesyn continues to come through on its commitment to build the most flexible, versatile switch portfolio for growing networks, hitting the performance requirements and price points that make a world of difference in real networks. "The FS700 family is a clear example of our commitment to provide the most capable and highly affordable switch portfolio around," said Sean Keohane, Allied Telesyn's vice president of marketing and engineering. ""Due to terrific market acceptance, we are expanding the FS700 family, enhancing the line's flexibility with new port density choices and growth paths that make them even better for evolving networks." Each switch in the unmanaged FS700 family is designed to meet a range of network needs at full wire-speed per port performance. The AT-FS704, AT-FS708, and AT-FS709FC are small, compact switches that are ideal for bringing 10/100Mbps switching directly to the desktop. Both the four-port AT-FS704 and the eight-port AT-FS708 are available in two versions, one with internal power supply and one with external power supply, for maximum flexibility. The AT-FS709FC accommodates eight 10/100 connections and, in addition, carries one fixed 100FX uplink for connection to a server or to a fiber backbone. The new 16 port AT-FS716 is ideally suited to a wide-range of demanding applications. It can stand alone to service 16 10/100TX connections, or stack for larger or expanding networks. It, too, is available in two models: one with an internal power supply, one designed to share an external power supply for economy and flexibility. The entire AT-FS700 family of switches is powerful yet simple to use, and provides versatile configuration options for the network. An FS700 switch is ideal as a desktop, workgroup or segment switch in any network. It has the flexibility to provide switched 10 or 100Mbps to the desktop, to shared hubs, or to servers with bandwidth-intensive applications. All ports on AT-FS700 switches autosense for operation at 10 or 100Mbps, providing the ultimate in flexibility for networks of all sizes, providing compatibility with today's network with a growth path for the future. The AT-FS700 family is based on a leading-edge hardware platform that employs highly efficient integrated ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. technology for maximum performance.
