The Ether-FSH2400RS is a high performance 24-port port fast Ethernet switch with remote management capability. It features an array of impressive management functions at the similar price level as an unmanaged switch.Conventionally, configuring a switch's smart management will require users to attach the computer (serial or printer port) directly to the switch's console port. With Ether-FSH2400RS's in-band management capability, users can configure the switch remotely through the Ethernet network. The included Windows management software provides a very simple point-and-click interface to set all the functions. Users can even backup settings to be restored in the future. Best of all, the management utility can configure several switches at the same time.
