The Federal Communication Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement includes
the following paragraph:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital
Device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
♦ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
♦ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
♦ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
♦ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
The user should not modify or change this equipment without written approval from company
name. Modification could void authority to use this equipment.
For the safety reason, people should not work in a situation which RF Exposure limits are
exceeded. To prevent the situation happening, people who work with the antenna should be
aware of the following rules:
1. Install the antenna in a location where a distance of 6.5 cm from the antenna may be
maintained.
2. While installing the antenna in the location, please do not turn on the power of wireless
card.
3. While the device is working, please do not contact the antenna.

§ The WGSW-1602 supports WEB/SNMP management. The switch can control, setup or
manage the modules, please also refer to the manual of the switch for the detail
information.
§ There are two expansion slots (“slot 1” and “slot 2”) on the front panel of the Ethernet
Switch. The modules -- WGSW-8TP, WGSW-4ST/SC and WGSW-1SX -- can be slide in
to this two slots.
§ There is one extension slot on the rear panel of the Ethernet Switch. The modules –
WGSW-1ST and WGSW-1SC – can be slide in to this slot.
Expansion Module Installation:
1. Power off the system.
2. Insert one or two modules into the slots. (Please be sure the module is aligned within
the guide-rails)
3. Tighten up the two fasteners on the front side of the module. AS shown in the
following figure.
Extension Module Installation:
1. Power off the system.
2. Please make sure the port#16 of WGSW-1602 is free.
3. Insert the optional MII fiber-optic module in the slot.
4. Tighten up the two fasteners on the front side of the module. As shown in the
following figure.
WGSW Module Guide1
8 ports 10/100Base-TX Module –WGSW-8TP
Figure 1. WGSW-8TP Front Panel
When it is installed into a Switch, the 10/100Base-TX Module provides 8 10/100Mbps Switch
ports which can connect to 10Mbps or 100Mbps hub or end station.
1-1. 8 Ports 10/100Base-Tx Module Features
♦ 8 10/100Base-TX N-Way Switch ports.
♦ Conforms to IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u , IEEE 802.3x and 100Base-TX standards
♦ Store and forward switch architecture for abnormal packet filtering
♦ Support for half and full duplex on all ports
♦ 2M memory Buffer support
♦ Automatic address learning with 12K address entry storage
♦ Filtering and forwarding rate of 14,880~148,800 packets per second
1-2. LED Descriptions
Once the module(s) slides into the open slot(s) on the front panel of the switch, the LED
indicators for the module(s) will be shown in the LED Monitor area of the WGSW-1602. The
display includes all the possible configurations. For instance, when the ‘slot 1’ slot is
occupied, LED columns 17 to 24 are used as indicators for the WGSW-8TP module. When
the ‘slot 2’ slot is used, LED columns 25 to 32 are the indicators. There are three LEDs for
each port.
There are three LED indicators for each of the RJ-45 LAN connection ports. If there is no
connection to a port, the corresponding LED indicators are not lit.
When installed into a Switch, this Module provides 4 x 100Mbps Fast Ethernet fiber ports
which can be used to:
♦ Connect the Switch to the backbone of your network; that is, to a basement switch, hub or
router.
♦ Connector the Switch to a 100Mbps server or end station.

3-2. LED Descriptions
Once the module slides into the open slot(s) on the front panel of the switch, the LED
indicator for the module(s) will be shown on the module itself. Note also that, when the ‘slot
1’ slot is occupied, the port becomes Port 17 of the switch. When the ‘slot 2’ slot is used, the
port becomes Port 25 of the switch. There are three LEDs for the 1000Mbps port.
There are three LED indicators for one Gigabit Fiber connection ports. If there is no
connection to a port, the corresponding LED indicators are not lit.
