3. Installing 24-Port Gigabit Web Smart Switch

This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack. Users can immediately use most of the features simply by attaching the cables and turning the power on.

2.1 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

2.Cabling is away from:

•Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers

•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

3.2 Rack-mount Installation

The switch may stand alone, 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.

KGS-2401 specifications

KTI Networks KGS-2401 is a sophisticated gigabit Ethernet switch designed for seamless data distribution in various networking environments. Catering to businesses and workgroups, this switch is built to enhance connectivity, ensuring high performance and reliability.

One of the main features of the KGS-2401 is its 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling robust data transfer rates of up to 1 Gbps per port. This high throughput is essential for demanding applications such as video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time communications. The switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X on all ports, simplifying network setup by eliminating the need for crossover cables.

The KGS-2401 employs Store-and-Forward switching technology, which ensures that it only forwards error-free frames to the network. This feature minimizes the chance of collisions and optimizes bandwidth utilization. The switch is equipped with a non-blocking architecture, allowing for the full bandwidth capacity to be utilized on all ports simultaneously, thereby avoiding bottlenecks that can degrade performance.

Another key characteristic is the KGS-2401’s support for Quality of Service (QoS). This allows administrators to prioritize different types of traffic, enhancing the quality of voice and video transmission. By managing data packets, businesses can ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth while maintaining overall network efficiency.

The KGS-2401 also features extended Layer 2 management capabilities, which include VLAN support and port mirroring. Virtual Local Area Networks facilitate network segmentation, improving security and performance by isolating broadcast domains. Port mirroring is valuable for network monitoring and troubleshooting, providing insights into traffic patterns and potential issues.

On the power front, the KGS-2401 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. It incorporates features like Energy-Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) to reduce power consumption during low traffic periods. This not only lowers operational costs but also supports environmentally friendly practices.

In summary, the KTI Networks KGS-2401 is a powerful and flexible gigabit Ethernet switch suited for various networking needs. Its high port density, advanced management features, and commitment to energy efficiency make it an ideal choice for organizations aiming to enhance their network infrastructure while maintaining cost-effectiveness and performance.
