1.2 About the Switch
Planet’s MGSW-004 is a 4-slot managed modular switch, This switch is designed to provide
your network with Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over twisted pair and
Fiber optic cable. MGSW-004 is a high performance switch that provides different optional
modules. The optional modules can be 8-port 10/100Base N-Way Switch Module,
100Base-FX Fiber Module (ST/SC), 1000Base-LX Gigabit Module, 1000Base-SX Gigabit
Module and 1 x 1000Base-T(Gigabit)
In this modular switch, each module has its own entry MAC address table to store source
address, which is 4K for 8-port 10/100 TX and Gigabit module, 12K for 4-port fiber.
MGSW-004 supports up to 9.6Gbp back plane for packet transmission
This modular switch is able to managed through web, telnet and console and SNMP MIBII is
also supported for maximum management functionality. MGSW-004 provides user with
high-speed network connections with a store-and-forward architecture for abnormal packet
filtering. This switch also supports IEEE802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol to maintain a loop-free
network and IGMP to limit the flow of IP multicast traffic. MGSW-004 supports IEEE802.1Q
VLAN up to 4095 groups. This switch also provides port security for improved network
security.

PowerReceptacle
For the compatibility with electric service in most of areas, MGSW-004’s power supply can
automatically adjust line power in the range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.
Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the Rear Panel of the Switch. The other side of
power cord connects to the power outlet.
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.
2.3 Hardware installation
