1. Introduction GSW-2453, 3-slot Gigabit Chassis switch, is a modular Switch that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The Switch is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing environment.

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.
2. Hardware Description This Section mainly describes the hardware of the GSW-2453, and gives a physical and functional overview of this chassis switch. Physical Dimension The GSW-2453 physical dimension is 440mm(W) x 280mm(D) x 44mm(H). Front Panel The Front Panel of the GSW-2453 consists of 3 module slots.

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.
at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance. Diagnosing LED Indicators The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying problems, which describes common problems you may encounter and where you can find possible solutions.
