The GS1510-24 Switch offers two open Gigabit SFP slots to provide more flexibility on fiber
connectivity for long loop reach applications. The GS1510 Series not only provides Layer-2
switching capability at wire speed over the current CAT-5 cabling to desktops following the
IEEE standards, but also features high performance, ease of use, flexible deployment and
enhanced energy efficiency. It is ideal for small businesses to protect the existing network

Key Benefits
Secure your network
To address security needs, The GS1510 Series not only supports 802.1X port-based authentication
that allows the network to be authenticated through external RADIUS servers, but also enables Web
authentication to provide enhanced, secured collaboration with ZyXEL's NWA3000 AP Series.
Easy installation and management
The GS1510 Series offers plug-and-play connectivity and easy installation. With the Auto MDI/MDI-X
feature, it eliminates the need for crossover cables when connecting to another switch or hub; in
addition, the Auto-negotiation feature senses the link speed of a connected network device then
intelligently makes adjustments for compatibility and optimal performance. The GS1510 Series also
offer easy management to fulfill user needs through SNMP and the Web-based GUI that provides
two modes: the Smart Mode and the Advance Mode.
The Smart Mode enables IT administrators to quickly set up important features such as basic IP
settings, Energy Efficient Ethernet, Web Authentication, DHCP Snooping, and the Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP). The Advance Mode provides more comprehensive options for users to configure the
advanced settings.
In addition, the GS1510 Series provides Auto-discovery tool for topology management as well. This
tool helps the network administrator to find the IP address of a GS1510 on the network by
performing a scan process; this function is useful if the default IP address has been changed and the
device could not be located on the network.
