Kukho iintlobo ezininzi zokutshintsha kwiimarike, kodwa kukho ukungafani okusebenzayo okuhlukeneyo, kwaye iimpawu eziphambili zihluke.Inokwahlulwa ngokwengqiqo ebanzi kunye nesikali sokusetyenziswa:
1)Okokuqala, ngombono obanzi, ukutshintshwa kwenethiwekhi kunokwahlulwaiindidi ezimbini: Ukutshintsha kwe-WAN eyahlukileyo kunye nokutshintsha kwe-LAN.
Ummandla oyintloko apho ukutshintshwa kwe-WAN kusetyenziswe kwii-telecommunications Banika abasebenzisi iqonga elisisiseko lonxibelelwano elinokuhlangabezana neemfuno zabasebenzisi abaninzi.Amazinga othumelo lwabasebenzisi abohlukeneyo awayi kuphazamisana.
Kutshintsho lwe-LAN, oku kugxilwe ngakumbi kwi-LAN, esetyenziselwa ukuqhagamshela izixhobo ezininzi zetheminali, njengokwakha icandelo lothungelwano olufanayo lwePC kunye nomshicileli womnatha.
Ngokubhekiselele kumajelo osasazo kunye nesantya sothumelo, zinokwahlulwa zibe yizitshintshi ze-Ethernet, ukutshintshwa kwe-Ethernet ngokukhawuleza, ukutshintshwa kwe-gigabit Ethernet, ukutshintshwa kwe-FDDI, ukutshintshwa kwe-ATM, kunye nokutshintsha ithokheni.
2)Ngokubhekiselele kwisikali kunye nesicelo, zinokwahlulwa zibe zitshintshi zenqanaba lezoshishino, ukutshintshwa kwinqanaba lesebe, kunye nokutshintsha kweqela lomsebenzi.Imigangatho yabavelisi abahlukeneyo ayihambelani ngokupheleleyo.Ngokuqhelekileyo, ukutshintshela kwinqanaba loshishino luhlobo lwe-rack, ngelixa iinguqu zesebe zinokuba yi-rack-type (kunye ne-slots ezimbalwa) okanye ulungelelwaniso olusisigxina, ngelixa ukutshintshwa kwenqanaba lomsebenzi luhlobo lwe-fixed-configuration (kunye nemisebenzi elula).Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngokwembono yesikali sesicelo, njengokutshintsha komqolo, iiswitshi ezixhasa izicelo zamashishini amakhulu kunye namanqaku olwazi angaphezulu kwama-500 kukutshintsha kwinqanaba loshishino, kunye nokutshintsha okuxhasa amashishini aphakathi kunye nolwazi olungaphantsi kwe-300. iingongoma zitshintshile kwinqanaba lesebe, kwaye iiswitshi ezixhasa ngaphantsi kwe-100 amanqaku olwazi zitshintshi zenqanaba lomsebenzi.
Oku ngasentla yinkcazo "yoHlelo lweeSwitshi" eziziswa nguIShenzhen HDV Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd.Wamkelekile kwisibuzekulo naluphi na uhlobo lwemveliso yezixhobo zonxibelelwano lwamehlo.
