2.1 Product Description

The PLANET GSW-2401/GSW-1601 is 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit

Ethernet switch with 24/16 ports respectively, and non-blocking

wire-speed performance. With a 48/32Gbps internal switching fabric,

the GSW-2401/GSW-1601 can handle extremely large amounts of

data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity

servers. The GSW-2401/GSW-1601 has 8K MAC Address table and

provides 400KB/272KB buffer memory. The GSW-2401/

GSW-1601offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without

risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of

GSW-2401/GSW-1601 makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments,

especially while network upgrades to a Gigabit environment.

All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps

Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category

6, 5 or 5e cables. Support is standard for Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can

detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring

special straight or crossover cables.

The Flow Control function allows your Gigabit switch supported

routers and servers to directly connect to this switch for fast, reliable

data transfer.

2.1.1 Product Overview

The PLANET GSW-2401 and GSW-1601 are Gigabit Ethernet

switches with 24/16 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for high-speed

network connectivity. The switches can also automatically identify and

determine the correct transmission speed and half/full duplex mode of

the attached devices with its 24/16 ports. The Gigabit port with jumbo

frame feature supported, can handle extremely large amounts of data

transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power

servers.

This product also supports store-and-forward forwarding scheme to

ensure low latency and high data integrity, eliminates unnecessary

traffic and relieves congestion on critical network paths. With an

intelligent address recognition algorithm, the switches could recognize

up to 8K different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding at

full wire speed.

Power Notice:

1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work

till it is powered. If your networks should active all the time, please

consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device.

It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime.

2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also

help to protect your switch from being damaged by unregulated

surge or current to the Switch or the power adapter.

2.2 Installing the Switch

This part describes how to install your Gigabit Ethernet Switch and

make connections to it. Please read the following topics and perform

the procedures in the order being presented.

Note: This switch does not need software configuration.

2.2.1 Desktop Installation

To install the switch on desktop, simply follow the next steps:

Step1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of

the switch.

Step2: Place the switch on desktop near an AC power source.

Step3: Keep enough ventilation space between the switch and the

surrounding objects.

Note: When choosing a location, please keep in mind the

environmental restrictions discussed in Chapter 1, Section 1.4

Product Specification.

Step4: Connect your switch to network devices.

A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the

10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports on the Back of the switch.

B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such

as printer servers, workstations or routers…etc.

Note: Connection to the switch requires UTP Category 5 network

cabling with RJ-45 tips. For more information, please see the Cabling

Specification in Appendix A.

Step5: Supply power to the switch.

A. Connect one end of the power cable to the switch.

B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall

outlet.

When the switch receives power, the Power LED should remain solid

Green.
