FCC Warning

This equipment has been tested and found to comply

with the regulations for a Class B digital device, pursuant

to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment. This equipment generates,

uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with this user’s guide,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely

to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will

be required to correct the interference at his own

expense.

CE Mark Warning

This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this

product may cause radio interference, in which case the

user may be required to take adequate measures.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This user manual tells you how to install your GSW-

0506/0806 5/8-Port Gigabit Switch, how to connect it to

your Gigabit Ethernet network.

Terms

For simplicity, this documentation uses the terms

“Switch” (first letter upper case) to refer to the GSW-

0506/0806 5/8-Port Gigabit Switch, and “switch” (first

letter lower case) to refer to all Ethernet switches,

including the GSW-0506/0806 5/8-Port Gigabit Switch.

Overview of this User Manual

Introduction. Describes the Switch and its features.

Unpacking and Setup. Helps you get started with the

basic installation of the Switch.

INTRODUCTION

This section describes the features of the Switch, as well

as providing some background information about Gigabit

Ethernet and switching technology.

Gigabit Ethernet Technology

Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet

utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support

for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and

management objects, but with a tenfold increase in

theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and

a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is

compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet

environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a

straightforward upgrade without wasting a company’s

existing investment in hardware, software, and trained

personnel.

The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by

Gigabit Ethernet is essential to coping with the network

bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and

their busses get faster and more users use applications

that generate more traffic. Upgrading key components,

such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet

can greatly improve network response times as well as

significantly speed up the traffic between your subnets.

Gigabit Ethernet supports video conferencing, complex

imaging, and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise,

since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast

Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are

English

able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the

same amount of time.

Switching Technology

Another key development pushing the limits of Ethernet

technology is in the field of switching technology. A

switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address

level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among

connected Ethernet or fast Ethernet LAN segments.

Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total

network capacity available to users on a local area

network. A switch increases capacity and decreases

network loading by making it possible for a local area

network to be divided into different segments which don’t

compete with each other for network transmission

capacity, giving a decreased load on each.

The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge

between the individual segments. Traffic that needs to go

from one segment to another is automatically forwarded

by the switch, without interfering with any other segments.

This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied,

while still maintaining the same network cabling and

adapter cards.

Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over

the previous generation of network bridges, which were

characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also

been used to segment local area networks, but the cost

of a router and the setup and maintenance required

make routers relatively impractical. Today’s switches are

English

an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network

congestion problems.

Features

The Switch was designed for easy installation and high

performance in an environment where traffic on the

network and the number of users increase continuously.

UNPACKING AND SETUP

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the

Switch.

Unpacking

Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its

contents. The carton should contain the following items:

 One Gigabit Switch

 Four rubber feet with adhesive backing

 One external power adapter

 This User Manual

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your

local reseller for replacement.

Setup

The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following

steps:

 Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See

Technical Specification for the acceptable operation

temerature and humidity ranges.

 Install the Switch in a site free from strong

electromagnetic source,vibration, dust,and direct sunlight.

 Leave at least 10cm of space at the left and right hand

side of the Switch for ventilation.

 Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it

is fully secured to the power adapter.
