    Rack-mounted Kit User Guide Figure 1-2. Package Contents Compare the contents of your GSW-2453 package with the standard checklist above. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your local dealer for service. Ethernet Switching Technology Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network,...
  • Page 7 transmissions. This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous transmissions over the same port (Full-duplex), which essentially doubled the bandwidth. Second, by reducing the collision domain to a single switch-port, which eliminated the need for carrier sensing. Third, by using the store-and-forward technology’s approach of inspecting each packet to intercept corrupt or redundant data, switching eliminated unnecessary transmission that slow the network.

    Rear Panel The 3-pronged power plug, 2 fans, power switching is located at the rear panel of the GSW-2453 as shown in Figure 2-2. The switch will work with AC power in the range of 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. Figure 2-2. The Rear Panel...
  • Page 11 Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the Switch. After attached both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack.

    3. Network Application GSW-2453 is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its large address table (4000 MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments. PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with 3-slot Gigabit Chassis s switch.

    4. Troubleshooting This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the GSW-2453. Incorrect connections The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when you link switch with other Ethernet device. For the UTP connector should use correct UTP or STP cable, 10/100Mbps port use 2 pairs twisted cable and Gigabit 1000T port use 4 pairs twisted cable.
