Welcome to the world of networking with 3Com
®
.
In the modern business environment, communication
and sharing information is crucial. Computer
networks have proved to be one of the fastest modes
of communication but until recently only large
businesses could afford the networking advantage.
The OfficeConnect
®
product range from 3Com has
changed this, bringing networks to the small office.
As the power of workstations and business
applications increases, heavier demands are made on
the available network bandwidth that, if unchecked,
can lead to performance problems in a hub-based
setup. Installing the OfficeConnect Switch 400
(3C16733), Switch 800 (3C16734) or Switch 1600
(3C16735) allows your network to be segmented so
that traffic can be contained effectively, reducing the
overall load without affecting access to critical
resources.
When referring to the OfficeConnect Switch 400,
Switch 800 or Switch 1600, this guide uses the term
‘Switch’.
The Switch is ideal for use with other OfficeConnect
products. It is compact and attractively designed for
desktop use. The Switch is part of the OfficeConnect
range which neatly stacks together with clips,
providing a range of facilities.

For information on these products, see the
“OfficeConnect Product Range” sheet that
accompanies this product.
The Switch has 4, 8 or 16 10/100BASE-TX ports. This
allows you to set up a network with both 10BASE-T
and 100BASE-TX hubs and workstations.
