Allied Telesyn Ships New Two-Port Fast Switches.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 1998-- New switched converters from world leader in media conversion products are a simple, economical, intelligent alternative for beating speed/media link challenges Allied Telesyn International (www.alliedtelesyn.com), a worldwide leader in simplifying networking for businesses of all sizes, Monday began shipping its new family of two-port switches. The new compact switches convert Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. 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 An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. - copper or fiber outputs - simply, to make network upgrades easier, more efficient and more cost-effective cost-effective, n the minimal expenditure of dollars, time, and other elements necessary to achieve the health care result deemed necessary and appropriate. . The new AT-FS20x family of switches enable dramatic increases in network distances, speed and bandwidth precisely where those increases are needed, without necessitating the replacement of existing hardware. "Conversion products are becoming even more critical as speed and media advances drive network evolution. Allied Telesyn remains the world leader in media conversion because of our strong commitment to this critical element of network architecture," said Sean Keohane, Allied Telesyn's vice president of marketing and engineering. "These simple two-port switches combine the best of both worlds - they serve as converters between network segments of different speeds and different media, but bring to the table a switch's higher functionality, like store and forward to reduce traffic jams and increase efficiency." Shipping in volume now, Allied Telesyn's AT-FS20x two-port Fast switch family provides great tools to upgrade, extend and relieve network congestion In data networking and queueing theory, network congestion occurs when a link or node is carrying so much data that its quality of service deteriorates. Typical effects include queueing delay, packet loss or the blocking of new connections. where it's needed, and cost-effectively. The family includes three unmanaged switches, all designed for simple integration of small workgroups with mixed 10Mbps and 100Mbps bandwidths - two of the three bring that 100Mbps in the form of fiber. The switches not only provide a means for connecting new network media or speed, but they further improve performance by providing a means to segment networks into smaller, connected subnets. All three of Allied Telesyn's new two-port switches combine the benefits of a compact rackmountable design with feature rich functionality to create a best value solution for extending network bandwidth limitations. The AT-FS20x family features plug-and-play installation and a compact chassis Pronounced "chah-see," it is a physical structure that holds everything or that everything is attached to. A computer's cabinet is often called the chassis. design that make it a great addition to wide variety of networking environments. With its external power supply, an AT-FS20x can be used either as a standalone stand·a·lone adj. Self-contained and usually independently operating: a standalone computer terminal. device or in Allied Telesyn's AT-MCR12 redundantly powered rackmount. An MDI/MDI-X crossover switch Crossover switches are complex array matrices to switch any one input path to any one (or more) output path(s). There are blocking and non-blocking types of cross-over switches. They are used in electronics and fiber optic circuits, as well as some optical computers. facilitates direct connection to a PC, a hub or another switch. The switches incorporate advanced features such as full-duplex, autonegotiation that can be overridden in segments that do not support it, full-wire speed forwarding and filtering at 148,000 PPS (Packets Per Second) The measurement of activity in a local area network (LAN). In LANs such as Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI, as well as the Internet, data is broken up and transmitted in packets (frames), each with a source and destination address. for 100Mbps and 14,800 PPS for 10Mbps and support for more than 8,000 MAC address table entries. Available now, the AT-FS201, AT-FS202 and AT-FS203 all come with Allied Telesyn's superior lifetime warranty on the switch, 1-year warranty on the power adapter An external power supply for laptop computers and just about every portable or semi-portable electronic device on the market. Also called an "AC adapter," it contains a rectifier to convert AC current to DC and a transformer to convert voltage from 120 down to 9, 12, 15 or whatever is , and lifetime free technical support. 2-Port Switch/Media Converters -0- Manufacturer Product Port A Port B U.S. List Price Allied Telesyn AT-FS201 10/100Mbps UTP 100Mbps Fiber ST $449 Allied Telesyn AT-FS202 10/100Mbps UTP 100Mbps Fiber SC $449 Allied Telesyn AT-FS203 10/100Mbps UTP 10/100Mbps UTP $299 About Allied Telesyn International Allied Telesyn International simply connects the world with affordable, highly reliable networking technology and products.
