1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Package Contents Check the contents of your package for following parts: ● Gigabit Ethernet Switch x 1 ● User's manual x 1 ● Power cord x 1 ● Rubber feet x 4 ● Two rack-mounting brackets with attachment screws x 1 If any of these are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer immediately, if possible, retain the carton including the original packing material, and use them against to repack the product in case there is a need to return it to us for repair.
2. INSTALLATION This section describes the functionalities of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing. 2.1 Product Description The PLANET Gigabit Ethernet Switch is 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 16/24 ports respectively, and non-blocking wire-speed performance.
2.1.2 Switch Front Panel Figure 2-1 & 2-2 shows a front panel of Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Figure 2-1 GSW-1601 front panel Figure 2-2 GSW-2401 front panel 2.1.3 LED Indicators GSW-1601 / GSW-2401 System Color Function Green Lights to indicate that the Switch has power.
Figure 2-4 GSW-2401 rear panel 1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime.
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports on the front of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch. B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer servers, work- stations or routers…etc. Connection to the Gigabit Ethernet Switch requires UTP Category 5 network cabling with RJ-45 tips.

Step 4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side. Step 5: After the brackets are attached to the Gigabit Ethernet Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-6.
3. Switch Operation 3.1 Address Table The Gigabit Ethernet 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 Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters. Due to the learning function of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch, the source address and corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table.
4.Troubleshooting This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the Gigabit Ethernet 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 Check the cable connection of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
