1.2 About the Switch

The Switch GSW-1402S is designed to allow simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data channel. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers in most environments.

The Switch is equipped with Category 5 copper cable or fiber optic cable for uplinking to a network backbone or network server. It is compatible with all 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps Ethernet environments. The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet will support faster and more users applications with generating more traffic.

In addition, the Switch is also support two module slots for 10/100/1000Base-T, 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX modules to uplink to a server or network backbone. These Switches are designed for Plug and Play installation, allows the network administrator to simply connect the network and power cables and the Switching/bridging functions begin automatically.

The front panels of these Switches provide LEDs for easy recognition of the switch operation status and for troubleshooting. These LEDs display the power status for the system and activity/ speed status for each port.

The built-in console interface and web interface can be used to configure the Switch’s setting for VLAN, and Port Trunk Groups, Port Mirroring and Port Speed, flow control enable/ disable.
