Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Welcome
Welcome and thank you for purchasing this "world class" product from CTC Union. We hope this product is everything
you wanted and more. Our Product Managers and R&D team have placed a "quality first" motto in our development
of this series of Gigabit Ethernet switches with the desire of providing a highly stable and reliable product that will give
years of trouble free operation.
In this chapter we will introduce this series, for Gigabit Ethernet applications. Chapter 2 will describe the panels and
LED indicators. All the models in this series utilize almost identical management interfaces, whether Console, Telnet,
SSH, HTTP (Web GUI) or SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Chapter 3 will cover the basic operation using
Console or Telnet CLI. Chapter 4 will detail all of the configuration settings by using an easy to point and click Web
interface which can be accessed from any available web browser.
1.2 Product Description
GSW-3208M2 is a Managed Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to make conversion between 8-Port 10/100/1000Base-T
RJ-45 and 2 port 100/1000Base-X fiber optics with SFP optical modules. Traditionally, transmission distance of Gigabit
Ethernet over fiber interface can be extended from 550m to 100km using the flexibility of any third party pluggable
SFP modules. GSW-3208M2 is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab and 802.3z standards. End-users can
simply connect their devices, such as Ethernet home gateway, wireless access point or NIC on PC/laptop via
10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair to the RJ-45 ports of the CPE switch. No Ethernet crossover cables are required and
link status can be easily monitored from the comprehensive LED display.
When GSW-3208M2 is deployed as a stand-alone solution, it incorporates an easy to use Web user interface for
operation, administration and maintenance both local and remotely. All of the enabled Layer 2 features and functions
of GSW-3208M2 can be configured and monitored via web interface and SNMP management. GSW-3208M2 is the
most suitable solution for deploying and provisioning the FTTX service of operators or service providers.
