The Facts Behind Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet is becoming increasingly popular as networked professionals A/V applications need bigger bandwidths. We are always pushing the limits of networking technology due to this. You'll learn the facts behind this valuable technology in this article.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standardizes the gigabit Ethernet or GigE. It is described in a single standard, IEEE std. 802.3-2005. Prior to 2005, GigE was described in two distinct standards. The first standard, 802.3z, explained the upper layers (media access control and conding) of GigE, in addition to its three physical interfaces - a shielded copper wire (not compatible with existing 10Base-T and 100Base-T) and two fiber interfaces. This standard was completed in 1995. The second standard, 802.3ab, defined the coding and physical layer for 1000Base-T, which is compatible with 10Base-T and 100Base-T.
1000Base-X fiber technology initiated the gigabit interface converter or GBIC. The GBIC, an optical-to-electrical interface, plugs back into the back of a switch or device. There are different GBICs that support different types of fiber, laser frequency and fiber modes. In your fiber-based device, you can replace only the GBIC when you want to repurpose the switch.
1000Base-T needs more complicated signal coding compared to previous Ethernet implementations. Using phase amplitude modulation, five signal levels are coded. GigE over UTP supports half and full duplex modes as with fast Ethernet. Duplexing offers 2 GB over overall bandwidth across the link, 1 GB in each direction, and removes the need for any collision detection and handling circuitry.
You should consider whether you will stick with UTP copper wiring or convert to fiber networking when using your GigE. Fiber has a lot more advantages, unlike UTP. With fiber, your data can travel farther, and you can get more fibers in a limited space. Also, it seems like that some fiber types will be compatible with speeds beyond 10GigE, unlike UTP that does not even work with 10GigE. But the most critical thing about fiber is it provides electrical isolation between interconnected devices. This can be helpful in situations where lighting or high RF fields make copper an undesirable interconnection medium.
Since we have already touched on 10GigE, let's talk a little more about it. Work is well under way on a new standard that will deliver 10GB/s connectivity. 10GigE does not only provide high speeds, but also travels long distances - up to 40km over fiber optic cables. It seems like the search for a faster and more efficient networking speed would never end anytime soon.
When you order your next GigE or gigabit converter, you have already known your device a little better. You would even like to have the 10GigE; but for now, content yourself with the existing available gigabit Ethernet. Al least you will be sure that what you need is a 1000base GBIC and not a 100Base-T.
connected gigabit ethernet switch to 2 comps. switch indicates 2 on but comps don't see each other?
Do I have to configure something? Both network connections say they are connected. The ethernet switch shows both on and connected.
Niether computer sees the other.
Where do I enter the ip addresses?
run cmd, type ipconfig......verify that both pc's have ip address's that are similar but not the same ex:192.168.1.2 on one pc and 192.168.1.3 on the other....turn off windows firewall.or open it up for file and printer sharing, share a folder on each pc...also look at the computer identification to make sure the workgroup name is the same and the pc names are different. workgroup is usually "mshome" then it should work
also from computer A in the run command type computer's B's name or ip and hit enter to see if it shows up their by name or by ip or bath
ex: run 192.168.1.3 or run myotherpc
snom Unveils New Class of SIP Phones Designed for SMBs with Big Business Tastes (voipmonitornet)
snom introduces a new line of business VoIP phones – the snom 7xx series
designed for both small and mid-sized businesses requiring an enterprise-class
desktop phone on an SMB budget. The snom 720 and snom 760 business phones
bring together the multiple programmable buttons and popular standard business
functionality of the snom 3xx series with the advanced functionality, sleek
styling and Gigabit Ethernet switch found in the snom 8xx series to create an
advanced desktop phone at a value-driven price.
Advanced Features and Elegant Design for Next Generation Business
Both the snom 720 and 760 offer a Gigabit Ethernet switch, automatic
provisioning, wireless LAN connectivity and snom’s superior wideband high
definition voice quality. In addition, thanks to a Gigabit Ethernet switch,
both phones can transfer data at a speed of 1000Mbits/s without slowing down
the network or a connected PC. Both phones also feature Bluetooth connectivity
via optional USB stick, allowing users the freedom to use a compatible
Bluetooth headset with their snom 7xx series phone. The snom 760 features a
high-resolution color display and two USB ports for a variety of connectivity
options, as well as a newly designed handset grip that increases user
friendliness by ...
