2. INSTALLATION

This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial 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.

In the following section, the term “Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch” means the IGT-501 / IGT-801 / IGT-501T / IGT-801T.

2.1 Product Description

The PLANET IGT-501 / IGT-801 / IGT-501T / IGT-801T is 5/8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch with non-blocking wire-speed performance and new slim type with IP 30 metal shape for easily deployment in Heavy Industrial demanding environments.

With a 10/16Gbps internal switching fabric, the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.

The Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch has 8K MAC Address table and offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The Gigabit ports with 9K jumbo packet support can handle large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers. The high data throughput of the device makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments.

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 Flow Control function allows Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch supported routers and Servers to directly connect to this device for fast, reliable data transfer.
