2.1 Product Description

The PLANET GSD-800/GSD-1600 provides 8/16 Gigabit Ethernet Switch ports. The
PLANET GSD-800/GSD-1600 delivers eight/sixteen ports worth of high-performance,
feature-rich integrated Gigabit Ethernet switching over traditional copper cabling. Each
port supports 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps as well as half/full mode and can be
easily connected to corporate backbones and servers.

2.1.1 Product Overview

PLANET GSD-800/GSD-1600 is a gigabit Ethernet switch with 8/16 RJ-45 10/100/
1000Mbps ports for high-speed network connectivity. The GSD-800/GSD-1600 can also
automatically identify and deter-mine the correct transmission speed and half/full duplex
mode of the attached devices with its 8/16 ports. The Gigabit ports with 9K jumbo packet
support can handle large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to a
backbone or high-power servers.

The GSD-800/GSD-1600 also supports store-and-forward forwarding scheme to ensure
low latency and high data integrity, eliminates unnecessary trafc and relieves congestion
on critical network paths. With an intelligent address recognition algorithm, GSD-800/
GSD-1600 could recognize up to 8K different MAC address and enables ltering and
forwarding at full wire speed.
