2. INSTALLATION

This section describes the functionalities of GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF/GSW-2416SF’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop or shelf. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.

2.1 Product Description

The PLANET GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF/GSW-2416SF is a 16/24-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Web Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch with non-blocking wire-speed performance. With 32/48Gbps internal switching fabric, the GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF/GSW-2416SF can handle extremely large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers. The GSW-1602SF /GSW-2404SF /GSW-2416SF could recognize up to 8K MAC Address table and provides 340KB /500KB on-chip frame buffer. The GSW-1602SF /GSW-2404SF / GSW-2416SF offers wire-speed packet transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The high data throughput, it can provide the most convenient for user to upgrade their network to Gigabit environment.

2.1.1 Product Overview

PLANET GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF/GSW-2416SF is a Web Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 16/24 RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for high-speed network connectivity. The GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF/GSW-2416SF can also automatically identify and determine the correct transmission speed and half/full duplex mode of the attached devices with its 16/24 ports. The Gigabit port can handle large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers.

These 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, GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF/GSW-2416SF could recognize up to 8K different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding at full wire speed.
