2.7 Applications
Example 1 :
A Magnum DS8016-B serves a small office with mixed speed requirements.
Some users operate at 100Mb, and some users and utility devices (such as print servers) run
at 10Mb. All share the same hub, and talk to each other via the bridge module inside. Any
node can change speed at any time without affecting network operation or impacting other
users.
Figure 2.7.1 : DS8016-B connects combinations of 10Mb and 100Mb network devices
Example 2 :
Where there are existing 10Mb hubs and users, they can easily be cascaded
into any port of the DS8016-B. This allows simple plug-and-play addition of 100Mb ports to
an existing 10Mb network without having to change it. Nodes that are capable of 100Mb
speed can be moved to any DS8016 dual-speed port, and will automatically operate at the
higher speed. The dual-speed ports on the DS8016-B can be used for adding 100Mb users or
for accommodating existing high performance users. The 100Mb traffic does not use the
bandwidth of the 10Mb domain, so overall performance of the network is improved.

new 100Mb domain to existing
10Mb network
