Buffalo Technology’s new Smart Intelligent Power over Ethernet Switches gives small and medium businesses a quick and easy solution for otherwise complex network improvements and expansion. And, with a Buffalo Switch in place, network administrators can rest assured with Buffalo’s Loop Guard warning system. A loop occurs if there is more than one path between two endpoints – possible causes are multiple connections between two network switches, or, two ports on the same switch connected to each other. With Buffalo’s new Switches the offending port from whichthe loop originates is immediately shut down and the switch gives both a buzzer and LED alert. In the past administrators might spend a considerable amount of time detecting and locating such a problem, but with Buffalo’s new switches detection and location are just a blinking light and buzzing buzz away. Buffalo’s new Smart Intelligent switches allow businesses to gradually grow their networks as their needs expand with plug-and-play setup, come with advanced features such as VLAN tagging, and are available with 8 or 16 ports.
