1.2 About the Switch

Planets 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.

Console ports
The RS-232 console port is an interface that directly connects to the PC. When the connection between the PC and switch is ready, run the Hyper Terminal and configure its communication parameters. The operating mode of the console port is:
Ø Baud rate: 9600 Ø Data bits: 8 Ø Parity: none Ø Stop bits: 1 Ø Flow control: none
After finished the setting, click OK.

2.2 Rear Panel

The Rear Panel of the switch is indicates an AC inlet power socket and on and off switch, which accepts input power from 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.
Rear Panel of MGSW-004
Power Receptacle For the compatibility with electric service in most of areas, MGSW-004s 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

MGSW-004 can be placed on desktop or mounted on rock. If this switch is used as standalone standard, the user can immediately use most of the features simply by attaching the cables and turning the power on.
