1.2 Product Description
High-Density, Resilient Deployment Switch Solution for Gigabit Networking of Enterprise, Campus and
Data Center
For the growing Gigabit network and IoT (Internet of Things) demand, PLANET has launched a new-generation Web Smart
1/10Gigabit Switch solution, the GS-2240 switch series, to meet the needs of enterprises, telecoms and campuses for a
large-scale network deployment. The GS-2240 switch series provides a quick, safe and cost-effective 1/10G network solution
for small businesses and enterprises.
Cost-effective 10Gbps Up link Capacity
PLANET has made a big leap in the evolution of Ethernet with its launch of the GS-2240-24T4X whose four 10G SFP+ slots
support dual-speed, 10GBASE-SR/LR or 1000BASE-SX/LX, meaning the administrator now can flexibly choose a suitable
SFP/SFP+ transceiver according to the transmission distance or speed required to extend the network efficiently. They greatly
support an SMB network to achieve 10Gbps high performance in a cost-effective way because 10GbE interface usually could
be available in Layer 3 Switch, which could be too expensive to SMBs.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The GS-2240 switch series can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link
aggregation (LACP), Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), SNMP, bandwidth control, LLDP, DHCP snooping, IGMP snooping
and L2 MAC security control. The GS-2240 switch series provides IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLAN and private VLAN. With the
supporting port aggregation, they allow the operation of a high-speed trunk by combining multiple ports and support fail-over as
well.
Efficient Traffic Control
The GS-2240 switch series is loaded with powerful traffic management to enhance services to business-class data, voice, and
video solutions. The functionality includes broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast storm control, and per port
bandwidth control. It guarantees the best performance for VoIP and video stream transmission, and empowers the enterprises
to take full advantage of the limited network resources.
Friendly and Secure Management
For efficient management, the GS-2240 switch series is equipped with web, console, Telnet and SNMP management
interfaces. With the built-in web-based management interface, the GS-2240 switch series offers an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration facility. By supporting the standard SNMP, the switch can be managed via
any standard management software. For text-based management, the switch can be accessed via Telnet.

User’s Manual of GS-2240 Series
1. Before we connect the GS-2240 series to the other network device, we have to make sure both sides of the SFP
transceivers are with the same media type, for example: 1000BASE-SX to 1000BASE-SX, 1000Bas-LX to
1000BASE-LX.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches with the SFP transceiver requirement.
To connect to 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, please use the multi-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type.
To connect to 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, please use the single-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type.
Connect the Fiber Cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector into the SFP/SFP+ transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with SFP/SFP+ transceiver installed.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP/SFP+ slot on the front of the Managed Switch. Ensure that the SFP/SFP+
transceiver is operating correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP/SFP+ port if the link fails. To function with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, user
has to set the port Link mode to “10G Force”, “1000M Force”.
Remove the Transceiver Module
1. Make sure there is no network activity anymore.
2. Remove the Fiber-Optic Cable gently.
3. Lift up the lever of the MGB module and turn it to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.
Figure 2-2-5: How to Pull Out the SFP/SFP+ Transceiver
Never pull out the module without lifting up the lever of the module and turning it to a horizontal
position. Directly pulling out the module could damage the module and the SFP/SFP+ module
slot of the Managed Switch.

3.2 Management Access Overview
The Managed Switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it using any or all of the following methods:
An administration console
Web browser interface
An external SNMP-based network management application
The administration console and Web browser interface support are embedded in the Managed Switch software and are
available for immediate use. Each of these management methods has their own advantages. Table 3-1 compares the three
management methods.
Method Advantages Disadvantages
Console
Web Browser
SNMP Agent
No IP address or subnet needed
Text-based
Telnet functionality and terminal
emulator
Secure
Ideal for configuring the switch remotely
Compatible with all popular browsers
Can be accessed from any location
Most visually appealing
Communicates with switch functions at
the MIB level
Based on open standards
Table 3-1 Comparison of Management Methods
Must be near the switch or use dial-up
connection
Not convenient for remote users
Modem connection may prove to be unreliable
or slow
Security can be compromised (hackers need
only know the IP address and subnet mask)
May encounter lag times on poor connections
Requires SNMP manager software
Least visually appealing of all three methods
Some settings require calculations

User’s Manual of GS-2240 Series
3.3 Administration Console
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user interface for performing system
administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration
console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the Managed Switch's console
(serial) port.
Figure 3-1-1: Console Management
Direct Access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a
terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal, PuTTY) to the Managed Switch console (serial) port. When using this
management method, a straight DB9 RS232 cable is required to connect the switch to the PC. After making this connection,
configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters:
The default parameters are:
115200 bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
Figure 3-1-2: Terminal Parameter Settings
25
User’s Manual of GS-2240 Series
You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred because you can
remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port,
regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any
terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an
emulator such as TIP.
3.4 Web Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. After you set up your IP address for the switch, you
can access the Managed Switch's Web interface applications directly in your Web browser by entering the IP address of the
Managed Switch.
Figure 3-1-3: Web Management
You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Switch configuration parameters from one central location,
just as if you were directly connected to the Managed Switch's console port. Web Management requires either Microsoft
Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, Safari or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later.
26
User’s Manual of GS-2240 Series
Figure 3-1-4: Web Main Screen of Managed Switch
3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch, such as SNMP Network
Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires the SNMP
agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This management
method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Net-work
management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get
community string, it can only read MIBs. The default getting and setting community strings for the Managed Switch is public.

4. WEB CONFIGURATION
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-based management from Managed Switch.
About Web-based Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-based Management supports Internet Explorer 7.0. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network
bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
By default, IE7.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has to explicitly
modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
The Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, making sure the manager PC must be set on the
same IP subnet address with the Managed Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set at
192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
If you have changed the default IP address of the Managed Switch to 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via console,
then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do the relative configuration on
manager PC.
Figure 4-1-1: Web Management
Logging on the Managed Switch
1. Use Internet Explorer 7.0 or above Web browser. Enter the factory-default IP address to access the Web interface. The
factory-default IP Address is shown as follows:
