Chapter 1: Introduction of the Product
This chapter describes the features of the GSW-5150 Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
1.1 Overview of the product
The GSW-5150 Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides you with a high-performance,
low-cost, easy-to-use, seamless and standard upgrade to boost your old
network to 1000Mbps. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone
connections, make Gigabit connection to a server or uplink a network necessarily.
The GSW-5150 features a non-blocking switching architecture that forwards
and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. MAC address
auto-learning and auto-aging, IEEE802.3x flow control for Full Duplex mode
and backpressure for Half Duplex mode. It is compatible with all 10,100, and
1000Mbps Ethernet devices because it is standard-based.
The GSW-5150 is plug-and-play and no conguration is required. Auto MDI/MDIX
cable detection on all ports eliminate the need for crossover cable or Uplink port.
Each port can be used as general ports or Uplink ports, and any port can be
simply plugged into a server, a hub, a router or a switch, using the straight cable
or crossover cable. Diagnostic LEDs which display link status and activity, allowing
you to quickly detect and correct problems on the network.
1.2 Features

Chapter 2: Installation
2.1 Mounting the Switch on a Desk
Before place the Switch on a desk, attach four rubber footpads to the utes on the
Switch bottom, then lay the Switch on the desktop, where can be have as much as
5kg placed on top.
Note:
Make sure there is a grounded AC outlet within 1.5 meters, and working well.
Make sure there is free space for radiating heat and air.
Make sure not to place anything to heavy on top of the switch.

2.2 Mounting the Switch in a Rack
The dimension of GSW-5150 is designed according to the standard 19'' rack-
mountable steel case of Electronic Industries Association.
Turn off all the equipment connected to the Switch before mounting it in the rack,
then rivet the two ’ L’ brackets onto each side of the Switch, fasten it with screws in
the rack.

2.3 Mounting the SFP module
The front panel of the GSW-5150 consists of a SFP module, which support The
Hot Plug- And- Draw. Should xed the SFP into SFP pluggable when use the SFP
module.The switch could identify and Cong the SFP module automatically.
2.4 Power on
GSW-5150 Switch is powered by AC power supply. Powering on the Switch, it will
automatically initialize and its LED indicators should respond as follows:
1)
All of the LED indicators will ash momentarily for one second, which represent
a resetting of the system.
2) The power LED indicator will remain ON.
Chapter 3: Identifying External Components
This Chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the
Switch.
3.1 Front Panel
The front panel of the GSW-5150 consists of switch LED indicators, 48

 LED indicators
The LED indicators include Power, Link/Act, 1000Mbps and 100Mbps LED
indicators, which are used for monitoring and pre-troubleshooting of the Switch.
The following section shows the LED indicators for the Switch along with an
explanation of each indicator.

Power LED: This indicator will light solid red when the Switch powers up. If the
LED is not lit, please check the power supply and connection.

1000M LED: The corresponding gigabit port LED indicator will light solid green
when the gigabit port connected to a 10/100/1000Mbps device. It ashes
green when data is being transmitted or received on the working connection.

100M LED: The corresponding 100M port LED indicator will light solid green
when the 10/100M port connected to a 100Mbps device. It flashes green
when data is being transmitted or received on the working connection.

SFP LED: The SFP LED indicates SFP module Link/Active status. The LED
indicator will light solid green when the SFP port connected correctly It ashes
green when data is being transmitted or received on the working connection.
