Allied Telesis AT FS232 - Media converter - 10Base-T, 100Base-FX, 100Base-TX - R

When upgrading your traditional 10Mbps Ethernet network or extending your 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network, switches are required, the AT-FS232 switch provides the ideal solution. The AT-FS232 will connect any two copper networks - irrespective of speed, and allow any copper network to be extended over a Fast Ethernet fiber link up to distances of 100km. Many new backbone switch products now support the industry standard IEEE 802.1Q specification for VLANs (Virtual LANs), which requires extra long data packets to be sent on the network. The AT-FS232 switch has been designed to be fully compatible with these long packets, allowing them to be used in modern networks. Switches not supporting this feature will discard these extra long packets, making them unsuitable for modern networks. The switches can be used almost anywhere due to their small physical size and external power supply. Alternatively, they can be mounted in a chassis along with Allied Telesyn's media converters. This allows users to construct any mix of network conversions, with the additional option of a redundant power supply.The Missing Link feature allows the ports on the media converter to pass the "Link" status of their connections to each other. When the media converter detects a problem with one of the ports, such as the loss of connection to a node, it shuts down the connection to the other port, thus notifying the node that the connection has been lost. The value to this type of network monitoring and fault notification is that some hubs and switches can be configured to take a specific action in the event of the loss of connection on a port. In some cases, the unit can be configured to seek a redundant path to a disconnected end-node or send out a trap to a network management station alerting the network administrator of the problem. The Smart Missing Link mode is one step advance from the Missing Link mode. In SML mode, a downstream Link LED is forced to blink to indicate the link status of the local section is OK, but at the section where the physical link is down, the Link LED will be forced off. This special feature is useful in determining where the actual link is down and where the link is still good.

How to prevent your Computer from Slowdowns

Prevention of your computer from slowdowns effects the performance of your computer, because if your computer working with proper speed, it definitely increases your efficiency and working speed. These are the guidelines given below which will help to maintain your computers speed:

* Fragmented hard drive is the biggest bottlenecks of all. Disk fragmentation can significantly slow down your machine. A common cause of disk fragmentation is a disk that is too full. You should keep 20 percent to 25 percent of your hard disk space free to minimize file fragmentation and to improve the defragmenter's ability to defrag the disk. Thus, if a disk is too full, move some files off the drive and restart the defragmenter. Once you defrag (defragment) your hard drive, you may notice an immediate and significant increase in system performance.

* Ensure antivirus software is installed, automatically checking for updates, and automatically scanning all incoming files. If there is a virus associated with a new file it will automatically be repaired or quarantined. New viruses come out daily. Because of this, the anti-virus software needs to be configured to automatically updates it's self.

* When Windows boots up, one of the first things it does is check the Fonts folder and then load all of the fonts present so that they will be accessible from whatever applications you are running. The problem is that all of those fonts eat up resources, and they slow down your system, especially on boot up. To over come this problem open my computer, then double-click the Control Panel icon, and then the Fonts folder. The system will display a list of all of the fonts currently installed on your computer. Double-click any font to see examples of it. If it looks like something you will never use, select and then delete it.

* One often-ignored culprit of system slowdown is the machine's BIOS settings. Slowdowns may occur if the BIOS settings do not match the optimal machine configuration. Often you can improve machine performance by researching your motherboard's optimal BIOS settings, which may not be the same as the factory defaults.

There is no centralized database of optimal BIOS settings, but you can employ a search engine such as Google or AllTheWeb and use your motherboard name and BIOS as keywords to find the correct settings.

* Read the terms and conditions before signing up for or downloading anything for free on the Internet. Free downloads like Kazaa (music), games, toolbars, and coupons often come with adware or spyware. The terms and conditions of downloads explain adware will be installed on the persons machine in exchange for the free software, music, pizza or whatever. Of course, few people read these terms and conditions.

* Multitasking was a boon for which we had been waiting for years. Suddenly, we could actually set the computer to a task and that task could continue while we did something else, such as work on a document or browse another Web site. Microprocessors, even today's more powerful ones, can only do so much before they begin to bog down. If you have multiple applications open, especially if they are each working on tasks, overall speed will suffer; the multiple tasks will indeed get processed, but that processing will take place more slowly than if any one of the activities were the only one taking place.

* Modern processors generate a lot of heat. That's why all processors require some sort of cooling element, typically a fan of some type. When the processor temperature goes over spec, the system can slow down or run erratically.

* Install a hardware firewall to keep hackers out. Hackers have automated tools that are looking for any PC connected to the Internet without a firewall. If you are connected to the Internet but don't have a firewall, hackers (criminals) will be in your PC. Beyond stealing your information they can install programs that can damage or slow your PC down. A hardware firewall to protect all the PCs on the local area network provides the best protection. Recommended hardware firewalls are Linksys, Netgear, and D-link.

* Your computer is a complex system comprising many pieces of hardware and software, all of which must work well together for optimum results. Eliminating the bottlenecks that result in system slowdowns is one major step in that process.
If you follow the above prevention, definitely your computer running better. We suggest doing these things yourself or schedule a computer professional to proactively perform and ensure these preventive maintenance steps are in place and working on a monthly basis. This will prevent computer slowdowns.

Computer Ergonomics And The Workplace: It's Not A Matter Of Sitting Up Straight

Most people who are considering office furniture tend to look for a chair with a back that will allow them to sit up straight. In point of fact, sitting up straight is not really the best position to take when you are working at your computer. Indeed, there are many misconceptions when it comes to seeking ergonomically designed computer equipment, furniture and other products in the 21st century.

Turning for the moment to the matter of the best type of chair to use when using your computer, as has just been referenced, sitting up straight really is not the best course of action for you. Sitting at a ninety degree angle is not the healthiest way in which to work -- no matter what experts may have indicated for a significant period of time in the past.

In point of fact, sitting at a rigid and ninety degree angle is not comfortable for an extended period of time. Sitting in this manner can, in fact, be very uncomfortable.

There is a simple principle that is applied when considering ergonomics generally and computer ergonomics specifically: if it is not comfortable, it probably is not an ergonomically designed piece of furniture or equipment. In point of fact and generally speaking, when it comes to ergonomically designed products, comfort really does normally equate with propriety and proper design.

The human body is a remarkable machine. It can send your brain warning signals whenever it is not properly positioned; hence, the discomfort you feel when you are not seated properly or using appropriately designed equipment and products.

In this day and age, there are a number of useful resources available to a person who is interested in finding out more about ergonomics generally and computer ergonomics specifically. Much of this material readily is available on the Internet and World Wide Web. By accessing this information you will be in a far better position to make appropriate decisions about furniture, equipment and related products that will best meet your needs -- in a healthy manner to boot.

Additionally, there are consultants in business today that can assist you in selecting furniture and equipment, including computers and related products, that meet ergonomic standards. Thus, you will know that the products you select and utilize will be best for you now and into the future.
