This section describes the functionalities of the Switch
’
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-1600S/GSW-2400S is a 16/24-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Web Smart with non-blocking wire-speed
performance Ethernet Switch. With 32/48Gbps internal switching fabric, the Switch can handle extremely large amounts of
data transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers. The Switch could recognize up to 8K
MAC Address table and provides 512 KB on-chip frame buffers. The Switch offers wire-speed packet transfer performance
without risk of packet loss. With the high data throughput, it can provide the most convenient for user to upgrade their
network to Gigabit environment.
The additional Web Switch utility allows access Web interface of the Switch. Smart functions, such as per port speed,
duplex, flow-control and QoS settings, Trunking, port-based VLAN and port mirroring are supported.
2.1.1 Product Overview
The Switch is a Web Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 16/24 RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for high-speed network
connectivity. The 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 can handle large amounts of data transmission in a
secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers.
This Switch 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,
Switch could recognize up to 8K/8K different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding at full wire speed.
