Chapter 1: Introduction of the Product

This chapter describes the features of the GSW-1657/GSW-2457 16/24-port

Gigabit Ethernet Switch.

1.1 Overview of the Product

The GSW-1657/GSW-2457 16/24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides you

with a high-performance, low-cost, easy-to-use, seamless and standard

upgrade to boost your old network to 1000Mbps. Increase the speed of your

network server and backbone connections make Gigabit a reality. Power

users in the home, office, workgroup, or creative production environment

can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer graphics,

CGI, CAD, or multimedia files and other applications that have to move

large files across the network almost instantly.

GSW-1657/GSW-2457 features a non-blocking switching architecture that

forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput.

MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging, IEEE802.3x flow control for

GSW-1657/2457 Gigabit Ehternet Switch

full-duplex mode and backpressure for half-duplex mode. It is compatible

with all 10,100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices because it is standard-

based, it protects your existing network investments while providing you

with a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds.

The GSW-1657/GSW-2457 is plug-and-play and no configuration is required.

Auto MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all ports eliminate the need for crossover

cable or Uplink port. Each port can be used as general ports or Uplink

ports, and any port can be simply plugged into a server, a hub, a router or

a switch, using the straight cable or crossover cable. Diagnostic LEDs which

display link status and activity, allowing you to quickly detect and correct

problems on the network.

Chapter 2: Installation

2.1 Mounting the Switch on a Desk

Before place the Switch on a desk, attach four rubber footpads to the

flutes on the Switch bottom, then lay the Switch on the desktop, where can

be have as much as 5kg placed on top.

GSW-1657/2457 Gigabit Ehternet Switch User's Guide

Note:

Make sure there is a grounded AC outlet within 1.5 meters, and working

well.

Make sure there is free space for radiating heat and air.

Make sure not to place anything to heavy on top of the switch.

2.2 Mounting the Switch in a Rack

The dimension of GSW-1657/GSW-2457 is designed according to the standard

19 rack-mountable steel case of Electronic Industries Association.

Turn off all the equipment connected to the Switch before mounting it in

the rack, then rivet the two "L" brackets onto each side of the Switch,

fasten it with screws in the rack.

2.3 Power On

GSW-1657/GSW-2457 16/24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is powered by AC

power supply. Powering on the Switch, it will automatically initialize and

its LED indicators should respond as follows:

All of the Link/Act and 1000Mbps LED indicators will flash momentarily

for one second, which represent a resetting of the system.

The Power indicator will light up.

The FAN LED indicators will light up.

If the LED indicators don't respond as described above, please check the

power supply and connection.

Chapter 3: Identifying External Components

This Chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators

of the Switch. GSW-1657 and GSW-2457 just differ in the number of LED

indicators and ports and all figures in this guide are of GSW-2457.

3.1 Front Panel

The front panel of the GSW-2457 consists of switch LED indicators, 24

10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports.

3.2 Rear Panel

The rear panel of the GSW-2457 only features a power receptacle, which is

an AC power receptacle. Connect the female of the power cord head here,

and the male head to the AC power outlet.

3.3 LED Indicators

The LED indicators include Power, FAN, Link/Act and 1000Mbps LED

indicators, which are used for monitoring and pre-troubleshooting of the

Switch. The following section shows the LED indicators for the switch

along with an explanation of each indicator.

Figure 3-3 GSW-2457 Switch LEDs sketch

Power LED: This indicator will light solid red when the Switch

powers up. If the LED is not lit, please check the power supply and

connection.

FAN LED: This indicator will light solid green when the corresponding

cooling fan works properly.

Link/Act LED: This indicator will light solid green when the

corresponding port is connected to another device and will flash

green when data is being transmitted or received on the working

connection.

1000Mbps LED: This indicator will light solid green when the

corresponding port is connected to a 1000Mbps device.
