Functional Description
IS420ESWH1A is an Ethernet Switch developed by GE. It is part of Mark VIe control system. The switch facilitates flow control among switches by adhering to IEEE standards for pause packets, both receiving and respecting them. It selectively transmits pause packets only when flow control is necessary on a particular port.
Product Features
- 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x Compatibility: The switch is fully compatible with these Ethernet standards, ensuring seamless integration into existing networks.
- 10/100 Base Copper with Auto Negotiation: Supports both 10 and 100 Mbps Ethernet connections over copper cables, with automatic negotiation to determine the best connection speed.
- Full/Half Duplex Auto-Negotiation: Automatically negotiates between full and half-duplex modes for optimal data transfer based on network conditions.
- 100 Mbps FX Uplink Port: Includes a 100 Mbps fiber uplink port for high-speed connectivity to other network devices.
- HP-MDIX Auto Sensing: Supports HP-MDIX technology for automatic detection and correction of cable wiring errors, ensuring reliable connections.
- LEDs for Link Presence, Activity, Duplex, and Speed: Each port features LEDs indicating link status, activity, duplex mode, and connection speed, providing at-a-glance network monitoring.
- LED for Power: Includes a power LED indicator to quickly verify the operational status of the switch.
- Minimum 256 KB Buffer with 4K MAC Addresses: Equipped with a minimum 256 KB buffer for efficient data handling and supports up to 4,000 media access control (MAC) addresses for network device identification and management.
Conformance Criteria
- Initiation of Multicast Packet Load (Without Flow Control): The switch must demonstrate the ability to initiate the required Multicast packet load on one port, without IEEE 802.3x flow control being negotiated. This test assesses the switch's performance under standard operating conditions without flow control mechanisms in place.
- Initiation of Multicast Packet Load (With Flow Control): Similar to the first criterion, this test evaluates the switch's capability to initiate the required Multicast packet load on one port, but with IEEE 802.3x flow control negotiated. It assesses the switch's performance under conditions where flow control mechanisms are actively engaged.
- Initiation of Distributed Multicast Packet Load (No Flow Control): In this test scenario, the switch must initiate the required Multicast packet load distributed across all ports, ensuring that the packet count per port averages the required value per the number of switch ports. This test is conducted without IEEE 802.3x flow control enabled.
- Initiation of Distributed Multicast Packet Load (With Flow Control on Half Ports): Lastly, the switch's performance is evaluated when initiating the required packet Multicast load distributed across all ports, with the packet count per port averaging 200 per the number of switch ports. Notably, IEEE 802.3x flow control is negotiated on half of the switch ports in this scenario, providing a comprehensive assessment of the switch's performance under varied flow control configurations.
Attributes
- 100Base-FX Multi-mode Fiber Ports: This switch is equipped with two 100Base-FX multi-mode fiber ports, offering high-speed data transfer capabilities. These ports feature LC-type connections, ensuring reliable and secure connections for enhanced data transmission.
