Model GS504 4-Port Gigabit Switch Installation Guide
Segment Switching and Bridging from 10/100 Mbps to
1000 Mbps
The Model GS504, as illustrated below, connects multiple power workgroups
and servers using high-speed gigabit fiber links. Each power workgroup is
anchored by a NETGEAR FS509 switch. Because each fiber link can be up to
525 m long, these workgroups can be located on separate floors or in different
buildings.
Before you begin installing your switch, prepare the installation site. Make sure
your operating environment meets the operating environment requirements of
the equipment.
