Power Notice:
1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your
networks should active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power
Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your switch
from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power
adapter.
2.3 Hardware Installation
2.3.1 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 switch or PC to one port of the Switch using Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP
cabling.
3. Connect another switch or PC to the other port of Switch by following the same
process as described in Step 2.
Notice:
Cable distance for Switch
The cable distance between Ethernet Switch and hub/PC should not exceed 100 meter
for UTP/STP cable, 220m for 62.5/125 fiber cable and 550m for 50/125 fiber cable if
use 1000Base-SX module, 550m for 62.5/125 or 50/125 fiber cable and 10km for 9/125
fiber cable if use 1000Base-LX module.
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 cables may
initially seem to work, it will soon cause data loss.
2.3.2 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 1000 or LNK LED is on.

3.5.2 IEEE802.1Q TAG VLAN
The VLAN is a group of ports that may spread around the network but communicate as
though they belong to one subnet. By using IEEE802.1Q compliant VLAN, all ports can be
reorganized into separate broadcast domains for security reasons and reduce bandwidth
occupation instead of using routers to divide whole network into subnets. It produces
cleaner network environment by reducing broadcast traffic and simplify network
management by allowing you to move devices to another VLAN without changing physical
connections.
Default settings of all ports are VLAN 1 and assigned PVID 1. Moreover, all ports of an
Aggregation Group must be treated as an integer when added to/deleted from a VLAN.
The IEEE802.1Q TAG VLAN Menu displays VLAN ID range, maximum number of

the port will not allow until you change it.
4.5.3 VLAN Port Configuration
When the VLAN-enabled switch receives an untagged packet, the packet will be sent to
the port’s default VLAN according to the PVID (port VLAN ID) of the receiving port.
4.5.3.1 To Change The PVID
1. Double click the “PVID” column of a port.
2. Input a new VLAN ID (1~4094).
3. Press “Enter” to submit the value.
4. Click Apply button to apply it.
Note: 1. All the ports are default as members of VLAN 1 and assigned PVID 1.
2. The port which was assigned a PVID and the PVID is equal to VLAN ID,
removing the port will not allow until you change it.
3. Automatically, a port will join the VLAN of its PVID, and if the VLAN does not
exist, system will create it.

5.1 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 Switch.
5.2 Learning
When one packet comes in from any port, the Switch will record the source address,
port no. and the other related information in address table. This information will be
used to decide either forwarding or filtering for future packets.
5.3 Forwarding & Filtering
When one packet comes from some port of the Switching, it will also check the
destination address besides the source address learning. The Switching will lookup
the address-table for the destination address. If not found, this packet will be
forwarded to all the other ports except the port which this packet comes in. And
these ports will transmit this packet to the network it connected. If found, and the
destination address is located at different port from this packet comes in, the
Switching will forward this packet to the port where this destination address is
located according to the information from address table. But, if the destination
address is located at the same port with this packet comes in, then this packet will
be filtered. Thereby increasing the network throughput and availability.
5 Switch Operation
5.4 Store-and-Forward
Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and
Forward Switching stores the incoming frame in an internal buffer, do the complete
error checking before transmission. Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it is the
best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability.
The Switch scans the destination address from the packet-header, searches the
routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required.
The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the
network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the switch is most
commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall
performance. GSW-14-2S can be easily configured in any Gigabit network
environment to significantly boost bandwidth using conventional cabling and
adapters.
Due to the learning function of the switching, the source address and corresponding
port number of each incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table. This
information is subsequently used to filter packets whose destination address is on
the same segment as the source address. This confines network traffic to its
respective domain, reducing the overall load on the network.
The Switch performs "Store and forward" therefore, no error packets occur. More
reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.
5.5 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). This is done by detect

the modes and speeds at the second of both device is connected and capable of,
Both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices can connect with the port in either Half- or
Full-Duplex mode. 1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX can only connect in Full-duplex
mode.

6. Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If GSW-1402S is not
functioning properly, make sure the Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual.
The Link LED is not lit
Solution:
Check the cable connection and remove duplex mode of the Giga Switch
Some stations can not talk to other stations located on the other port
Solution:
The address table may contain older information than of the address table of that node.
Please power down to refresh the address information
