2.1 Product Description
The PLANET GSW-1200S provides 12 Gigabit Ethernet Switch ports.
The PLANET GSW-1200S delivers twelve ports worth of
high-performance, feature-rich integrated Gigabit Ethernet switching
over traditional copper cabling. It provides 12 Ethernet ports and is
capable of smart functions, such as VLAN, Port Trunking and Prot
Mirroring. GSW-1200S 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-1200S is a gigabit Ethernet switch with 12 RJ-45
10/100/1000 Mbps ports for high-speed network connectivity.
GSW-1200S can also automatically identify and determine the correct
transmission speed and half/full duplex mode of the attached devices
with its 12 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-1200S could recognize
up to 32K different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding at
full wire speed.
