VLAN
This mode makes the
FNSW-1601 operate
as a VLAN isolation
switch and
1. Port 1 to port
14 will isolate
respectively.
2. Port 1 to port
14 can only
communicate with
port 15 and port 16
(uplink port).

22 will isolate
respectively.
2. Port 1 to port
22 can only
communicate with
port 23 and port 24
(uplink port).
Extend
This mode makes
the FNSW-1601
operate as a distance
extension switch and
port 1 to port 8 can
only transmit distance
of 200m at speed of
10Mbps.

Power
Note
1. The device is a power-required device,
meaning it will not work till it is powered. If
your network should be active all the time,
please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted
Power Supply) for your device. It will
prevent you from network data loss or
network downtime.
2. In some areas, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect your Fast
Ethernet Switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch.
