1.2 About the Switch
The WGSW-2403 comes with 24 10/100Base-TX auto-MDI/MDI-X ports, two slots for
optional of 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX, 10/100/1000Base-T modules and a shared slot
for a 100Base-FX module. Each unit has a built-in management interface for configuring
and monitoring through console port, telnet, web and SNMP.
The WGSW-2403 provides a switch stacking function to manage up to 8 switches using a
single IP address. Through its proprietary management bus using a standard RJ-45
cable, the distance between stacked switches can be up to 800m. The management bus
traffic is separated from the network ports, ensuring heavy network loading does not affect
management tasks. Upto 208 Ethernet ports can be managed by a single IP address.
The WGSW-2403 can also be stacked with PLANET’s WGSW-14020 16G Switch and
VC-1602 VDSL Switch, providing the flexibility for various applications.
The IEEE 802.1Q with VLAN tagging feature make logically separating nodes easier and
up to 255 VLAN group are allowed on the WGSW-2403. Rate control is also supported to

Stack ports
There are two stack ports on the front panel. One is IN and the other is OUT. When
stacked, the IN port should connect to the other switch’s OUT port and the OUT port
should connect to other switch’s IN out. You can just use normal Cat 5 or better cable with
RJ-45 connector to stack. Only straight-through UTP/STP cable can be used. There is no
Duplex Mode issue and the maximum distance between first and last switch is 800m.
SWITCH ID
Each switch on a stack must have a unique switch ID. There are eight degrees (0~7) in
the rotary switch. The switch with least switch ID will become master switch and the
others become slave. If master switch is fail or disconnected to the switch by stack port,
the switch with least switch ID will become master.
Every device in the management stack should have a unique “Switch ID”. In the
meanwhile, a “Switch ID” which has been using by a device, reused by another, the
management stack will fail.
Reset button
At the middle of front panel, the reset button is designed for reboot the switch without turn
off and on the power.
10/100Mbps Ethernet ports
There are 24 10/100Mbps RJ-45 (copper) ports with one 100Mbps fiber optic slide-in slot.
The slot is shared with port 1 which means if a fiber module is installed in this slot, the first
RJ-45 port will be disabled. The following pictures show the available module for this
slot.

Console Port
The RS-232 console is an interface for connecting a terminal directly. Through the
console port, it provides rich diagnostic information includes network statistics, link status
and system setting. The operating mode of the console port is:
♦ DCE
♦ 9600 (Fix baud rate)
♦ n (No parity checking)
♦ 8 (8 Data bits)
♦ 1 (1 stop bit)
♦ None (No flow control)
You can use a normal RS-232 cable and connect to the console port on the device. After
the connection, you can run any terminal emulation program (Hyper Terminal, Winterm,
Telix, and so on) to enter the startup screen of the device.
Power Receptacle
For compatibility with electric service in most areas of the world, the switch’s power supply
automatically adjusts to line power in the range 100-240 VAC and 50-60 Hz.
Plug the female end of the power cord firmly into the receptacle on the rear panel of the
switch. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electric service outlet then the power
will be ready.
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
This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack. If you install the
device in a normal-standalone standard, the switch is an managed Switch, and users can
immediately use most of the features simply by attaching the cables and turning the
power on. In this case, any managerial proceedings are effective only in the range of the
switch. After management stacking, you can enjoy the powerful management functions
and control the whole system.
Desktop Installation
For desktop installation, the switch needs to put on a clean, flat desk or table close to a
power outlet. Plug in all network cables and the power cord, then the system is ready.
Before installing the switch, you must ensure:
1. It is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
- 8 -
2. Cabling is away from:
w Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers
w Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
3. Keep water or moisture off.
4. Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is great for heat
radiation (company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25 mm clearance).
To prolong the operational life of your units:
1. Never stack unit more than eight sets high if freestanding.
2. Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack.
3. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case.
Rack-mount Installation
The switch may standalone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
Rack mounting produces an orderly installation when you have a number of related
network devices. The switch is supplied with rack mounting brackets and screws. These
are used for rack mounting the unit.
Rack Mounting the Switch in the 19-inch rack:
1. Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing.
2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing toward
you.
3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.
4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.
5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.
6. Insert the unit into the 19" rack and secure with suitable screws (not provided).
7. Reconnect all cables.
Installing Network Cables
Station Connections -
Refer to the wiring statement of the previous section; connect each station with correct
type of cables.
Switch-to-Switch Connections –
In making a switch-to-switch connection, use Gigabit ports to connect another switch or
backbone is strongly recommended. The Gigabit ports provide the fat pipe to the server or
backbone connectivity for boosting the total system performance. Refer to the wiring
statement of the previous section; connect each station to the switch with correct type of
cables.
Module Installation
The two slide-in slots on the rear panel are purposed for installing optional modules. They
can be used as a network backbone or connect to a server. Follow the steps as described
to install a module:
1. Power off the switch.
2. Removing the two screws on the face plate of slide-in slot with a flat-head
screwdriver.
- 9 -
3. Push the module gently into the slot along the slide tracks.
4. Ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector then tighten the screws to secure
the module.
CAUTION: The slide-in slots are not hot swappable, power off the switch before installing
modules.
2.4 Stack Installation
There are two RJ-45 ports on the front panel for proprietary management stack. Only
straight-through UTP/STP cable can be used.
Plug one end of the cable in the “IN” port and the other end to the ”OUT” port of next
device. Repeat the step for every device in the stack cluster, then ending at last switch.
NOTE:Before management stacking, be sure of every device uses a unique “SWITCH
ID”, or the management stack will not work. The switch with least SWITCH ID
will become Master. Only Master switch’s management interface (console,
telnet, web and SNMP) is accessible.
Please find the following picture for sample connection. Please note the stack port is for
management only. For data packets to be transmitted between switches, you will still
need to connect their network ports.
