Getting to Know Your Switch

Introduction

The switch is a multi-port switch that can be used to build high-

performance switched networks. The switch is a store-and-forward device

that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The switch is designed

for SOHO (Small Office Home Office) businesses.

Standalone Workgroup Application

The switch can be used as a standalone switch to which computers, servers

and print server are directly connected to form a small workgroup.

Standalone Workgroup Example

Hardware Installation

The switch is suitable for an office environment where it can be placed on

a desktop.

Step 1. Make sure the switch is clean and dry.

Step 2. Set the switch on a smooth, level flat space strong enough to

support the weight of the switch and the connected cables.

Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.

Step 3. Use only the supplied power adaptor to connect your switch to

a power source. Refer to the label on the power adapter for

more information.

ENGLISH

Do not block the ventilation holes.

Hardware Connection

The power and the Ethernet ports are located on the rear panel.

Rear PanelGS-105A

Rear Panel: GS-108A

Power Connection

Connect one end of the supplied power adaptor to the power port on the

rear panel of the switch and the other end to the appropriate power source.

The PWR LED turns on.

RJ-45 Auto-negotiating Ports

The switch comes with 5 or 8 10/100/1000M RJ-45 ports depending on

the model of your switch. The auto-negotiation feature allows the switch

to detect the speed of incoming transmission and adjust appropriately

without manual intervention. It allows data transfers of 10 Mbps, 100

Mbps or 1000 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending

on your Ethernet network.

ENGLISH

Auto-crossover Ethernet Ports

All ports are auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports (Media Dependent

Interface Crossover), so you may use either a straight-through Ethernet

cable or crossover Ethernet cable for all Ethernet port connections. Auto-

crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to function as

crossover or straight ports, so crossover cables can connect both

computers and switches/hubs.

Refer to the Product Specifications section for the types of network cable

used for the different connection speeds.

Front Panel LEDs

The LEDs on the front panel indicate the real-time status of the switch.

Front Panel LED: GS-108A

Off The port is operating at 10Mbps or no device is attached.

LNK/ACT Green On The port is connected to an Ethernet network.

Blinking The port is receiving or transmitting data.

Off The port is not connected to an Ethernet network.

Amber On The port is operating in full-duplex mode.

Blinking Packet collision occurred on this port.

FDX/COL

Off The port is operating in half-duplex mode or no Ethernet

device is connected to this port.
