Page 11 SWITCH The switch performs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. ARCHITECTURE This allows wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data integrity.

Page 29: Making Network Connections
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS The switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100 or CONNECTING 1000Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as NETWORK to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to DEVICES remote devices using optional SFP transceivers. TWISTED-PAIR Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
Page 30: Network Wiring Connections
Step2. If the device is a network card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See the section “Network Wiring Connections.”) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.
Page 31: Fiber Optic Sfp Devices
An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver can be used for a FIBER OPTIC backbone connection between switches, SFP DEVICES connecting to a high-speed server. Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.
Page 32: Connectivity Rules
CONNECTIVITY RULES When adding hubs to your network, please note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.

Page 34: Cable Labeling And Connection Records
CABLE LABELING AND CONNECTION RECORDS When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. This will allow user to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.
Page 35: Troubleshooting
Make sure all devices connected to the Series GS-2328KX 28 Switch devices are configured to auto negotiate, or are configured to connect at half duplex (all hubs are configured this way, for example).
Page 36 Check the port A port on your Switch may not be operating as you expect configuration. because it has been put into a “blocking” state by Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic trunking). (Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software.
Page 37: Power And Cooling Problems
POWER AND COOLING PROBLEMS If the System indicator does not turn on when the power Installation cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet.
Page 38: Cables
CABLES TWISTED-PAIR For 10/100BASE-TX connections, the twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the CABLE AND PIN twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is ASSIGNMENTS identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes.
Page 39: Straight- Through Wiring
4, 5, 7, 8 Not used Not used The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair. STRAIGHT- If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires THROUGH must be straight-through.
Page 40: 1000Base-T Pin Assignments
1000BASE-T PIN All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network ASSIGNMENTS connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts.
