2. INSTALLATION
This section describes the functionalities of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
2.1 Product Description
The PLANET Gigabit Ethernet Switch is 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 16/24 ports respectively, and non-blocking wire- speed performance. With 32/48Gbps internal switching fabric, the Gigabit Ethernet Switch can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.
The Gigabit Ethernet Switch has 8K MAC Address table and provides 340/400/500K bytes buffer memory. The Gigabit Ethernet Switch offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of Gigabit Ethernet Switch makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments, especially while network upgrades to a Gigabit environment.
All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. Support standard for Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or crossover cables, the GSW-2416 provide 24 10/100/1000Base-T ports and together with 16-SFP(Small Form-factor Pluggable). Shared with port #9 to port #24, make the GSW-2416 be a 16-Port Gigabit fiber Switch with mini-GBIC fiber-optic module installed that shall provide long distance fiber connectivity.
2.1.1 Product Overview
The PLANET Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 16/24 RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for high-speed network connectivity. The Gigabit Ethernet Switch 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 with jumbo frame feature supported, can handle
