1.1 General Description
The device is a 16-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Web-Smart Switch.
Compared with traditional 10/100Mbps Ethernet, the switch delivers a dedicated Gigabit connection to every attached
client with no congestion issues. The gigabit ports also provide a larger pipe to the server or backbone connectivity for
boosting total system performance. The N-Way auto-negotiation (or auto-sense) function (refer to the chapter titled, “Nway Process”) automatically adjusts the device for optimum operation. Duplex mode provides an easy way to integrate
10/100/1000Mbps networks without hassles. Each port delivers up to 2000Mbps throughput, and is able to operate in
either half or full-duplex modes. Under full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of frames occurs simultaneously
without causing collisions while doubling the network bandwidth.
The HGS16S is ideal for micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance,
enabling the bandwidth required by today’s networks for increasingly demanding applications of all kinds. Also, unlike
traditional “dumb” switches, the HGS16S features embedded advanced management capabilities: the device can be
managed via web-based UI or console port, thereby allowing the system manager to monitor and control the system
efficiently. “Store-and-Forward” architecture allows for low latency, eliminates error packets (including runt and CRC
error packets) and improves efficiency. The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and is fully
compliant with all the major network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel give the user an
easy view of the operating status of individual ports or the entire system.
1.2 Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of the IEEE 802.3 standard, and can deliver up to a tenfold increase in throughput over
100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and up to a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet. It utilizes the same packet structure
and format, as well as support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects. Because
Gigabit
Ethernet is compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environments; it provides a seamless upgrade without
wasting existing investments in hardware, software, and/or trained personnel. With increased speed and more bandwidth,
Gigabit Ethernet is a great solution for reducing network bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and their buses
get faster, and more users generate ever-greater traffic through the use of increasingly advanced applications. Upgrading
key components, such as backbones and servers, to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network response times and
significantly increase the speed of traffic between your subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet supports video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since
data transfers occur at speeds up to 10 times greater than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s
(Network Interface Cards) are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time.

There are 16 * 1000Mbps RJ-45 (copper) ports on the front panel. The switch’s auto-negotiation feature allows each port
of the device to be running at one of the following operation modes:
Speed Duplex Mode
10Mbps
100Mbps
1000Mbps
All ports support MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover, meaning that the port can connect a PC or other device without crossover
cable adjustment.

LED Definition
The rich diagnostic LEDs on the front panel help display the operating status of individual ports as well as the entire
system.
Power LED
This indicator is lit green when the switch is receiving power; otherwise, it is off.
Port LEDs
Every RJ-45 port on the front panel has two LEDs (10/100M, 1000Mbps) for indicating the connection speed and activity
status.
Port LED Summary Table:
LEDs Status Statement
Steady /Blinking Amber Connected as 10Mbps/Active
10/100M
Steady/Blinking green Connected as 100Mbps/Active
1000M
Steady/Blinking green Connected as 1000Mbps/Active
If the port is connected but the Port LED is dark, check the following items:
If the switch’s and the connected device’s power are on or not
If the connecting cable is good and of the correct type
If the cable is firmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in the associated device
If the connecting device, including any network adapter, is well installed and functioning properly

This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, on the floor, or mounted in a rack. Users can immediately use most of
the features simply by attaching the cables and turning the power on.
2.1 Desktop Installation
For desktop installation, the switch needs to be put on a clean, flat desk or table close to a power outlet. After you have
plugged in all network cables and the power cord, the system is ready.
Before installing the switch, you must ensure that:
1. It is accessible and cables can be connected easily
2. Cabling is away from:
a. Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers
b. Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
3. Water or moisture will not enter or come in contact with the switch at any time
4. Airflow around the unit and through the vents on the side of the case is ample for heat dissipation (it is recommended
that you provide a minimum of 25 mm. of clearance).
To prolong the operational life of your unit:
1. Never stack more than eight freestanding units on top of each other
2. Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack
3. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case
2.2 Rack-Mount Installation
The switch may stand alone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack mounting produces an
orderly installation when you have a number of related network devices. Rack mounting brackets and screws have been
included in the packaging for the switch. They are used for rack mounting the unit.
The following describes a general sequence of steps for securing the unit on a rack:
1. Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing.
2. Place the unit right side up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing towards you.
3. Place one mounting bracket over the bracket mounting holes on each side panel of the unit.
4. Insert the screws (included in the rack mount kit) through the bracket and, using a screwdriver, secure the screws
into the bracket mounting holes on the unit.
5. Place the unit onto the rack by securing the mounting brackets to the mounting strips on either side of the rack. To
do this, align the holes on the mounting brackets with the appropriate holes on the mounting strips. Be sure to use
four screws (two for each bracket) that are meant for use with the specific rack that you will be mounting the unit on.
(These screws are provided or specified by the manufacturer of the rack, not by Hawking Technologies.)
6. Reconnect all cables.
