    500/500S delivers five ports worth of high-performance, feature-rich integrated Gigabit Ethernet switching over traditional copper cabling. The GSD-500S is capable of smart functions, such as VLAN, Port trunking and Prot mirroring. GSD-500S can be configured by out-of-band channel via the console port (RS232) directly. Each port supports 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps as well as half/full mode and can be easily connected to corporate backbones and servers.

    Chapter 3 CONFIGURATION (GSD-500S) Unlike the unmanaged switch (GSD-500), GSD-500S performs series smart functions that make the switch operate more effectively. This section will describe the common usage of the Switch Smart Configuration. 3.1 Preparing for configuration 3.1.1 Connecting a PC or Terminal to the RS-232 Port...
  • Page 12: Power-Up Self-Test Status

    As the switch powers on, it goes through a self-test process to ensure proper operations of the GSD-500S hardware. The messages will be displayed to show the test progress. When the test completes successfully, the system will display a login screen. If any of the components fails during the test, you may need to contact your local dealer and have the switch replaced.

  • Page 23: Chapter 4 Switch Operation

    Chapter 4 SWITCH OPERATION 4.1 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 24: 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. 4.5 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 5 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 remove duplex mode of the Giga Switch.
