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.

GSW-800S User's Manual

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.

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. (See Figure 2-3 of Rear Panel of GSW-800S)

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 complete the following steps.
