1.2 About the Switch

The PLANET GSW-2416SF is a 24-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Web Smart non-blocking wire-speed performance Ethernet Switch. With a 48Gbps internal switching fabric, the Switch can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers. The GSW-2416SF could recognize up to 8K MAC Address table and provides 400KB on-chip frame buffer. They offer wire-speed packet transfer performance without risk of packet loss. With high data throughput, the GSW-2416SF provides the most convenient for user to upgrade their network to Gigabit environment.
All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. Also, all the ports support Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can automatically detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or crossover cables. 24-Port TP by default and together with 16-SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable), shared with port#9 to port #24, make the switch be a 16-Port Gigabit Fiber Switch with mini GBIC fiber-optic module installed that shall provide long distance fiber connectivity.
The GSW-2416SF provides Smart management functions through the Web management interface. Functions such as per port speed, duplex, IEEE 802.3x flow-control settings and 802.1p QoS settings, Trunking and Port-Base VLAN, all can be found in the friendly user interface of your web browser. These features provide a cost-effective way to manage the devices from Internet whenever you are at work or at home.

2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

This product provides both Copper and Fiber connecter at same switch – 24 Ports TP and 16 Ports SFP (shared with Port #9 to 24), and automatically distinguishes the speed of incoming connection. This section describes the hardware features of GSW-2416SF. For easier management and control of the Switch, familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before connecting any network device to the GSW-2416SF, read this chapter carefully.

2.1 Front Panel

The Front Panel of the GSW-2416SF Web Smart Ethernet Switch consists of 24x Auto-Sensing 10/100/1000Mbps
Ethernet RJ-45 Ports and 16x SFP(Small Form-factor Pluggable) Ports. The LED Indicators are also located on the front panel of the GSW-2416SF. And one console port at Front panel for switch management.

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 GSW-2416SF from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the GSW-2416SF.

2.3 Hardware Installation

This part describes how to install your Web Smart Ethernet Switch and make connections to the Switch. Please read the following topics and perform the procedures in the order being presented. To install your Switch on a desktop or shelf, simply completed the following steps.
2.3.1 Desktop Installation
To install a Switch on a desktop or shelf, simply completed the following steps: Step 1: Attached the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch. Step 2: Place the Switch on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source. Step 3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Switch and the surrounding objects.
#Notice:
When choosing a location, please keep in mind the environmental restrictions discussed in Chapter 1, Section 4, Specification.
Step 4: Connect your Switch to network devices.
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports on the front of the GSW-2416SF
Switch.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer servers, workstations or routers…etc.
#Notice:
Connection to the Switch requires UTP Category 5/5e/6 network cabling w ith RJ-45 tips. For more information, please see the Cabling Specification in Appendix A.
Step 5: Supply power to the Switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the Switch. B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall outlet then power on the Switch.
When the Switch receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.
2.3.2 Rack Mounting
To install the Switch in a 19-inch standard rack, follow the instructions described below. Step 1: Place your Switch on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards your front side. Step 2: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Switch with supplied screws attached to the package. Figure
2-3 shows how to attach brackets to one side of the Switch.
Figure 2-3 Attaching the brackets to the Switch

Caution:
You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws
uld invalidate your warranty.
wo Step 3: Secure the brackets tightly. Step 4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
tep 5: After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack, as
S
shown in Figure 2-4.
Step 6: Proceed w

ging on to the GSW-2416SF
anage the GSW-2416SF. Topics include:

3.1 Overview

This chapter gives an overview of switch management. The GSW-2416SF provides a user-friendly, command line under console interface and Simply WEB browser interface. Using these interfaces, you can perform various switch configuration and management activities, including:
z Port configuration z VLAN Add/Remove/Assign z Flow Control Enable/Disable z Port Trunk Create/Assign ( WEB GUI supported ) z System IP address setting. z Management account and password setting. z Port status/static monitoring z System reboot and reload factory default.
Please refer to the following Chapter 4 and 5 for the details.

3.2 Management Methods

There are two ways to manage the GSW-2416SF:
- Local Console Management via the Switch serial port.
- Web Management via a network or dial-up connection.
3.2.1 Local Console Management
You can manage the GSW-2416SF locally by connecting a VT100 terminal, or a personal computer or workstation with terminal emulation software, to the Switch serial port. The terminal or workstation connects to the Sw itch serial port using a null modem cable that has the appropriate connectors on each end. This management method is ideal when:
- The network is unreliable.
- The Network Manager does not have direct network connection.
The serial port of the Switch default setting is set to 19200 baud using a character format of 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
Therefore, configure the terminal or workstation to use these settings before you log on to the GSW-2416SF. You can change this default setting, if desired, after you log on.

3.2.2 Web Management
You can manage the GSW-2416SF remotely by having a remote host with w Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
Using this management method: The GSW (IP) address accessible for the remote host.
3.3 Assigning an IP Address to the Sw
To m owser with a Management Station, you must assign an IP addr to
