2.1 Product Description

The PLANET FGSW-4840S is a 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Switch provides 48 10/100Base-TX ports respectively with 2 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 2-SFP Mimi-GBIC interfaces. With a 17.6Gbps internal switching fabric, the FGSW-4840S can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers. The FGSW-4840S has a 4K MAC Address table and provides a 1536KBytes frame buffer. The FGSW-4840S offers wire-speed packet transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of these devices make them ideal for most Gigabit environments, especially network upgrades to a Gigabit environment.

The additional Web Switch utility allows access Web interface of FGSW-4840S. Smart function such as per port speed, duplex, flow-control and QoS settings, Trunking , port-based VLAN.

2.1.1 Product Overview

PLANET FGSW-4840S is a Web Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 48 Fast Ethernet ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports support 10/100Mbps and 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. Also, all the ports support Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or crossover cables. The FGSW-4840S also provides 2 SFP Mini-GBIC interfaces for fiber extension to uplink to a server or a network backbone.

This products 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, FGSW-4840S could recognize up to 4K different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding at full wire speed.
