1. Introduction

GSW-2453, 3-slot Gigabit Chassis switch, is a modular Switch that can be used to

build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a

store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The Switch

is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing environment.

GSW-2453 features a “store-and-forward “ switching scheme. This allows the switch to

auto-learn and store source address in an 4K-entry MAC address table.

MDI (Medium Dependent Interface) Port is also called an "uplink port". The MDI port

does not cross transmit and receive lines, which is done by the regular ports (MDI-X

ports) that connect to end stations. In general, MDI means connecting to another Hub

or Switch while MDIX means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto

MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without

changing non-crossover or crossover cabling.

GSW-2453 has 3-module slot. User can accord their needs to purchase the modules.

This can give elasticity on network application.

EthernetSwitchingTechnology

Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network,

eliminated congestion problems inherent with CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense multiple

access with Collision Detection) protocol, and greatly reduced unnecessary

transmissions.

This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous transmissions

over the same port (Full-duplex), which essentially doubled the bandwidth. Second, by

reducing the collision domain to a single switch-port, which eliminated the need for

carrier sensing. Third, by using the store-and-forward technology’s approach of

inspecting each packet to intercept corrupt or redundant data, switching eliminated

unnecessary transmission that slow the network. By employing address learning,

which replaced the inefficient receiving port.

Auto-negotiation regulates the speed and duplex of each port, based on the capability

of both devices. Flow-control allows transmission from a 1000Mbps node to a

100Mbps node without loss of data. Auto-negotiation and flow-control may require

disablement for some networking operations involves legacy equipment. Disabling the

auto-negotiation is accomplished by fixing the speed or duplex of a port.

Ethernet Switching Technology supplied higher performance at costs lower than other

solutions. Wider bandwidth, no congestion, and the reduction in traffic is why switching

is replacing expensive routers and inefficient hubs as the ultimate networking solution.

Switching brought a whole new way of thinking to networking.

2. Hardware Description

This Section mainly describes the hardware of the GSW-2453, and gives a physical

and functional overview of this chassis switch.

PhysicalDimension

The GSW-2453 physical dimension is 440mm(W) x 280mm(D) x 44mm(H).

FrontPanel

The Front Panel of the GSW-2453 consists of 3 module slots.

Figure 2-1 The Front Panel of the GSW-2453

The modules in the picture are optional, not including in the package.

LEDIndicators

The LED Indicators gives real-time information of systematic operation status. The

LED indicators are located in each module. The LED indicators will be different for

different type of module. The following table provides descriptions of LED status and

their meaning.

RearPanel

The 3-pronged power plug, 2 fans, power switching is located at the rear panel of the

GSW-2453 as shown in Figure 2-2. The switch will work with AC power in the range of

100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.

Desktop Installation

Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface

where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy. Make sure there

is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and

allow air circulation.

Attaching Rubber Feet

A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and dust free.

B. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.

C. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These footpads

can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.

Rack-mountedInstallation

The switch come with a rack-mounted kit and can be mounted in an EIA standard size,

19-inch Rack. The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment.

Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch:
