PEswitch 900TX for Desktop Interconnectivity

HIGHLIGHTS

o  High performance, switched Ethernet desktop connectivity in DEChub 900
   form factor

o  Aggressively priced full function Ethernet switch

o  Manageable with the new stackable DEChub ONE (DEF1H) and multislot DEChub
   900 MultiSwitch configurations

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The PEswitch 900TX is a six port Ethernet to FDDI switch. The front panel
Ethernet ports are all 10BaseT (MJ8-RJ45 type connectors), and each port
provides a dedicated, 10 Mbit per second connection for desktop devices or
servers. The FDDI port provides a dual ring connection through either the
DEChub 900MS backplane or through the new DEF1H-A* FDDI DEChub one single
slot hub.

The PEswitch 900TX is a fully compliant IEEE 802.1 product. As such, it
supports full address and protocol filtering between all ports (Ethernet to
Ethernet as well as Ethernet to FDDI). In addition, full translation of
packets between Ethernet and FDDI (IEEE 802.1i) is supported, as well as
Internet Protocol packet fragmentation and specialized support for
Non-Translating Protocols (IEEE 802.1h) like AppleTalk. The resulting
product provides high performance network access and robust functionality at
a very attractive price per port.

BENEFITS

Switched Personal Ethernet solutions offer a dedicated 10 Mbit per second
channel per user with the added benefit in the Digital solution of having a
connection to a high speed link (FDDI) for more efficient access and
improved response time to network-based servers and systems.

The PEswitch 900TX allows users to upgrade the performance of desktop
network connections selectively (set users per Ethernet from one to six) for
a cost that is unheard of with other technologies (100 Mbit Ethernet or
ATM). This solution operates in the DEChub, allowing the user to intermix
various technologies but still be able to manage the complete network with a
single management tool such as HUBwatch.

Switched 10 Mbit per second Ethernet also offers the following benefits:

o  No changing of current desktop controllers required.
o  No changing of existing cabling.
o  No changing or modification of drivers or applications.
o  Miminal downtime compared to other solutions.
o  Substantial cost savings versus other high speed solutions.

AVAILABILITY AND ORDERING

The PEswitch 900TX will be available in October 1994.
