Installation of a network switch at the Observatory

We installed an Ethernet switch at the Observatory. Our network is now split into several segments (antenna control, lab., data reduction). The switch puts Ethernet packets only on the segment to which the receiving device is connected. It is also used to filter bad packets, to bridge 10 MHz Ethernet and 100 MHz fast-Ethernet, and to monitor the network load (see below).
