Congratulations on your purchase of the Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch. This preface introduces you to the Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch and discusses the organization and conventions of this User’s Guide. It also provides information on other related documentation. About Gigabit Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet is a 1Gbps (1000Mbps) extension of the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet...
Ethernet routers, switches or hubs without additional expensive wiring or equipment installation. Features • Conforms to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab and 802.3x standards • Eight auto-negotiating 100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports on the GS-1008 Getting to Know the Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Figure 1-1 GS-1008 Chapter 1 GS-1016 1008/GS-1016.
Rack mount kit Backbone Switch Network Application This section provides a sample of network topology in which the switch is used as a high-bandwidth backbone. The switch is an ideal upgrade for 100Mbps Ethernet networks. You can connect existing switches, hubs or computers with Gigabit 1000Base-T Ethernet adapters to the switch.
Hardware Description and This section shows two switch installations, describes the switch hardware and The switch is suited to an office environment where it can be rack mounted on standard EIA racks or as a standalone. For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front, 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the...
Do not block the ventilation holes. Leave space between Rack-mounted Installation The switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your switch on a standard EIA rack using the included rack-mounting kit.
Figure 2-2 Attaching Mounting Brackets and Screws 2. After attaching both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the switch to the rack with the rack’s mounting screws.
Connect one end of the supplied power cord to the power receptacle on the back of the switch and the other end to the 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz power source. For the GS- 1016, push the power switch to the ON position.
It allows data transfers of either 100 Mbps or 1000Mbps in either half-duplex or full- duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network. 2.4.2 Auto-sensing (Auto MDI/MDIX) Ports You can connect each RJ-45 auto-sensing port to a computer, hub or switch using either a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable. 2.4.3 Front Panel Connections You can use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) Ethernet cables for RJ-45 ports.
2.4.4 Front Panel LEDs The LEDs give real-time status information. The following table provides LED descriptions. Figure 2-8 GS-1008 LEDs Figure 2-9 GS-1016 LEDs Hardware Description and Installation...
FDX/COL) Hardware Description and Installation Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch The switch is turned on and receiving power. The switch is off or not receiving power. A link to a 1000Mbps Ethernet device is up. The port is not connected to a 1000Mbps Ethernet device.
100 - 240V AC, 50/60Hz power source. Make sure the power source is turned on and that the switch is receiving sufficient power. If these steps fail to correct the problem, contact your local distributor for assistance.
Table 3-3 Troubleshooting 100, 1000 LEDs STEPS Check the connection between the switch and your Ethernet device(s). Verify that you are using the proper cable type and that its length does not exceed 100 meters. For more information on network cable types, see 2.4.3 Front Panel Connections.
A data path loop forms when there is more than one path or route path between two networked computers. This results in broadcast storms that will severely affect your network performance. Make sure there are no loops in your network topology. Troubleshooting Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch PROBLEMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION...
