2.2.1 Desktop Installation To install the Switch on desktop, simply follow the next steps: Step 1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch. Step 2: Place the Switch on desktop near an AC power source. Step 3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Switch and the surrounding objects.
3. SWITCH OPERATION 3.1 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.
servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the Switch is most commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall performance. An Ethernet Switching can be easily configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.
4. TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If the Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Gigabit Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. The per port LED is not lit Solution: Check the cable connection of the GSD-503/GSD-504 and GSD-803/GSD-804.
A.2 RJ-45 cable Pin Assignments The standard RJ-45 receptacle/connector There are 8 wires on a standard UTP/STP cable and each wire is color-coded. The following shows the pin allocation and color of straight cable and crossover cable connection: Figure A-1 Straight-Through and Crossover Cable Please make sure your connected cables are with same pin assignment and color as above picture before deploying the cables into your network.
