HS-ETH/SW provides the Megaplex system with four 10/100BaseT Ethernet LAN ports that use auto-egotiation for plug-and-play Ethernet connectivity.
With each LAN port operating independently of the other ports (when receiving VLAN-tagged frames), a single
HS-ETH/SW module can simultaneously provide several bridging connections, each supported by one of 16 internal WAN ports (timeslot bundles). HS-ETH/SW can also be used in Layer-3 routing applications, such as grooming management data generated by modules from multiple locations.
