INTRODUCTION

The LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option is designed to allow simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data channel. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers in most environments.

The LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option is equipped with Category 5 copper cable or fiber optic cable for uplinking to a network backbone or network server. It is compatible with all 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps Ethernet environments. The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet will support faster and more users applications with generating more traffic.

In addition, the LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option is also support one module slot for 2 Ethernet Gigabit ports to uplink to a server or network backbone. These Gigabit Switches are designed for Plug and Play installation, allows the network administrator to simply connect the network and power cables and the Switching/bridging functions begin automatically.

The front panel of these Gigabit Switches provide LEDs for easy recognition of the switch operation status and for troubleshooting. These LEDs display the power status for the system and link / speed/ collision, full-duplex, transmit and receive status for each port.

The built-in console interface can be used to configure the Switch’s setting for Priority queuing, VLAN, and Port Trunk Groups, Port Monitoring and Port Speed.

fail-over

l Support IEEE802.1p four Priority queues on each port

I DENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS

This product series provide three different running speed – 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps in the same hub and automatically distinguish the speed of incoming connection.

This section describes the hardware features of these Gigabit Switches. For easier management and control of the switch, familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before connecting any network device to the hub, read this chapter carefully

There are two different module for expansion:

l 2 Port 10/100/1000T Gigabit Module l 2 Port 1000SX Gigabit Fiber Module

Front Panel

The unit front panel provides a simple interface monitoring the switching hub. It includes a power indicator for each port.

the switch’s LED indicators.

Twisted-Pair Ports

Use any of these ports to connect stations or hubs to the

switch. These ports are MDI-X ports, which means you can use ordinary straight -through twisted-pair cable to connect the switch to PCs, workstations, or servers through these ports. If you need to connect to another device with MDI-X ports such as another switch or hub, you should use a crossover cable, or connect using the Uplink port (described below).

Reset Switch

At the left side of front panel, the reset switch is designed for

reconfiguring the switch hub without turn off and on the power.

C ONNECTING THE SWITCH

Connecting End node or Hub or Switch

1. Place the Switch on a smooth surface or fasten the mounting brackets with the provided screws in a standard 19” rack

2. Connect the DC jack of AC adapter to the DC inlet socket of Switch and the other end into the local power source outlet

3. Connect hub or PC to one port of the Switch using Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP cabling

4. Connect another hub or PC to the other port of Switch by following the same process as described in Step3.

Notice:

Cable distance for Switch The cable distance between Ethernet Switch and hub/PC

should not exceed 100 meter; fiber cable distance shall not exceed 220 meter.

Make sure the wiring is correct

It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps operation. To reliably operate your network at 100Mbps and 1000Mbps, you must use an Unshielded Twisted -Pair (UTP) Category 5 cable, or better Data Grade cabling. While a Category 3 or 4 cable may initially seem to work,it will soon cause data loss.

Connecting to Network Backbone or Server

Connect to the Gigabit Ethernet ports with Category 5 copper cable or fiber optic cable for uplinking to a network backbone or network server. These ports operate at 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode. A valid connection is indicated when the Link LED is light. The following sections describe the function of LEDs on the front panel.

CPU LED

Color: Green Label: Smart Function: The LED light up steadily means CPU installed for smart function

Power LED

Color: Green Label: PWR Function: The LED light up steadily means Power turned on.
