    The PLANET GSW-1600/GSW-2400 is a 16/24-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet switch with non-blocking wire-speed performance. With 32/44Gbps internal switching fabric, the GSW-1600/GSW-2400 can handle extremely large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers. The GSW-1600 /GSW-2400 could recognize up to 4K/32K MAC Address table and provides 272 KB /2MB on-chip frame buffer.

    2.2.1 Desktop Installation To install a GSW-1600/2400 on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps: Step1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the switch. Step2: Place the GSW-1600/2400 on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source.
  • Page 10 Step5: Supply power to the Switch. A. Connect one end of the power cable to the GSW-1600/2400. B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall outlet. When the GSW-1600/2400 receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.

    Chapter 3 SWITCH OPERATION 3.1 Address Table The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch.
  • Page 12: Auto-Negotiation

    The Switch performs “Store and forward” therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur. 3.5 Auto-Negotiation The STP ports on the Switch have built-in “Auto-negotiation”. This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a connection is established with another network device (usually at Power On or Reset).

    Chapter 4 TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If Giga Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. The Link LED is not lit Solution: Check the cable connection and its quality.
