    Each port provides up to 2000Mbps in full duplex mode. With its auto-sensing, Live-GSH8T automatically detects the speed of the devices you plug into, and routes the incoming data to its destination. Its auto-negotiating function allows existing devices running at different speeds to communicate easily within the same network.

    It also costs less than the fiber-optic cable. Thus, it is very convenient to choose a copper-wired gigabit switch such as Live-GSH8T, since you can easily set up a gigabit backbone using the kind of twisted-pair cable so ordinarily used in 10/100BASE-TX environment.

    Appendix A, Product Specifications for detailed information. Station Ports Live-GSH8T All Gigabit Switch is equipped with 8 x 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensing and auto-negotiating ports. You can use these ports to connect to end stations, servers or other networking devices.
  • Page 12: Installation Of The Switch

    Desktop Installation Live-GSH8T Gigabit Switch has four rubber pads attached on each corner of its underside. These pads serve as cushions against vibration and prevent the switch from sliding off its position. They also allow adequate ventilation space when you place the switch on top of another device.

    Table 3-2 below. Therefore, the ports do not require crossover cables when connecting to another Switch. If Live-GSH8T interoperates with a device that cannot automatically correct for crossover, it makes the necessary adjustment prior to commencing auto-negotiation. If it interoperates with a device that implements MDI/MDIX crossover, a random algorithm as described in IEEE 802.3 section 40.4.4...

    4 Expanding your Network Expanding Your Network Live-GSH8T Gigabit Ethernet Switch is primarily designed as a central switching device to manage your workgroup/departmental traffic within Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet. The following section will introduce to you the basics of network connectivity in virtual workgroup computing within Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet environment.
  • Page 17: Rj-45 Gigabit Port Description

    When connecting a computer to the station port/gigabit port of the Live-GSH8T, use a straight-through UTP cable. When connecting the gigabit port of Live-GSH8T to the station port of another hub/switch, use a straight-through cable. When uplinking Live-GSH8T to any port (MDI-X) of another hub/switch, use a straight-through cable.
