<P>Nortel Networks introduces the next generation of the most successful workgroup switches ever. Completely redesigned for faster throughput, support for high-speed uplink options, and leading-edge software features, new BayStack 350 Switches carry on the Nortel Networks tradition of affordable, high-performance workgroup switching. </P> <P> BayStack 350 Switches support 10/100 autosensing on all UTP ports, for seamless migration to 100 Mbps connections without time-consuming trips to the wiring closet whenever end stations are upgraded to Fast Ethernet. To further simplify network setups, all ports also automatically sense half- or full-duplex connections for high-speed server or switch-to-switch configurations. </P> <P>The BayStack 350-12T Switch features twelve 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports. For high-bandwidth traffic to the network core, it offers a Media Dependent Adapter (MDA) slot for Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet fiber, 10/100 autosense Ethernet, and future ATM ports. </P>
