2. INSTALLATION
This section describes the functionalities of GSW-800’s components
and guides how to install it on the desktop or shelf. Basic knowledge of
networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before
continuing.
2.1 Product Description
The PLANET GSW-800S provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet Switch ports.
The PLANET GSW-800S delivers eight ports worth of
high-performance, feature-rich integrated Gigabit Ethernet switching
over traditional copper cabling. It provides 8 Ethernet ports and is
capable of smart functions, such as VLAN, Port trunking and Prot
mirroring. GSW-800S can be configured by out-of-band channel via
the console port (RS232) directly. 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 GSW-800S is a gigabit Ethernet switch with 8 RJ-45
10/100/1000 Mbps ports for high-speed network connectivity.
GSW-800S can also automatically identify and determine the correct
transmission speed and half/full duplex mode of the attached devices
with its 8 ports. Plus, the Gigabit port, together with jumbo frame
feature supported, can handle extremely large amounts of data
transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power
servers.
This product also supports store-and-forward forwarding scheme to
ensure low latency and high data integrity, eliminates unnecessary
traffic and relieves congestion on critical network paths. With an
intelligent address recognition algorithm, GSW-800S could recognize
up to 16K different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding
at full wire speed.

IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.1Q,and IEEE 802.1p Priority Queues.
Eight 10/100 Mbps auto-detecting half/full duplex and 1000
Mbps full duplex switch ports.
Features Store-and-Forward mode with wire-speed filtering
and forwarding rates.
Hardware based 10/100Mbps, half/full duplex and 1000Mbps
full duplex mode, flow control and auto-negotiation.

When the internal temperature is equal to or higher than 60
degree C, the standby fan will be drove to run and the Over
Heat LED will light on. Once the temperature is equal to or
higher than 70 degree C, the buzzer will sound. Users can
press the buzzer On/Off button to turn off the buzzer.
*2
There are two fans in the unit. Normally, only one of the fans
is running. Another fan is standby. Once the running fan is
failed, the standby fan will be drove to run and the Fan
Failure LED will light on.
2.1.5 GSW-800S Rear Panel
The rear panel of the GSW-800S has a Power Connector and two Fans
at the rear of the switch. Besides, a Buzzer ON/OFF button is placed
between. The power port is where you w ill connect the AC power cord.

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.
2.2 Installing a GSW-800S
This part describes how to install your GSW-800S Gigabit Ethernet
Switch and make connections to the switch. Please read the following
topics and perform the procedures in the order being presented.
PLANET GSW-800S Gigabit Ethernet Switch do not need software
configuration. To install your GSW-800S on a desktop or shelf, simply
