PLANET GSW-2401 Gigabit Ethernet Switch do not need software configuration. To install your GSW-2401 on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps. 2.2.1 Desktop Installation To install a GSW-2401 on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps:... - Page 9 Step1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch. Step2: Place the GSW-2401 on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source. Step3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Switch and the surrounding objects.
- Page 10 You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brack- ets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws Caution: would invalidate your warranty. tep3: Secure the brackets tightly. Step4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side. Step5: After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-4.

Chapter 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. -
Page 12: Auto-Negotiation
The Switch performs “Store and forward” therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur. 3.5 Auto-Negotiation The STP ports on the Switch have built-in Auto-negotiation . This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a connection is established with another network device (usually at Power On or Reset). -
