This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch. 1.1 Introduction The GS1900 series is a new generation Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Web-Managed Switch. This User’s Guide covers the following models: Table 1 GS1900 Series Comparison Table GS1900-8 GS1900- GS1900- GS1900- GS1900-...
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch Figure 1 Bridging Application Backbone Sales 1.1.2 Gigabit Ethernet to the Desktop The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks which demand high bandwidth for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and servers directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same group(s) unless such traffic first goes through a router. For more information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 9 on page 1.1.3.1 Tag-based VLAN Example Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain, thus increasing network performance by reducing broadcast traffic.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch 1.2 Ways to Manage the Switch Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch. • Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported) web browser. See Chapter 5 on page •...
H A PT ER Hardware Installation and Connection This chapter shows you how to install and connect the Switch. 2.1 Freestanding Installation Make sure the Switch is clean and dry. Set the Switch on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the Switch and the connected cables.
2.2.1 Wall Mounting Do the following to attach your Switch to a wall. See the following table for how far apart to place the screws. Table 2 Distance between the centers of the holes for wall mounting GS1900-8 GS1900-8HP GS1900-10HP GS1900-16...
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection The Switch should be wall-mounted horizontally. The Switch's side panels with ventilation slots should not be facing up or down as this position is less safe. 2.2.2 Rack Mounting The Switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment.

In 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, the speed can be 10Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.
Chapter 3 Hardware Overview An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device. An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.
