1. INTRODUCTION
GSW-5270 is a high-density smart switch that provides the
ultimate bandwidth and versatile features for large workgroups
or backbones with the aggregated 17.6Gbps bandwidth. We
offer outstanding connectivity by providing different 48-port TP
10/100Mbps with 4-port Gigabit TP and 2-Port mini-GBIC SFP
interfaces to interoperate with your copper or fiber network and
also to provide non-blocking, wire-speed switching
performance for maximum throughput.
GSW-5270 is equipped with 48-port TP 10/100Mbps with
4-port Gigabit TP and 2-Port mini-GBIC SFP reaching
17.6Gbps back plane bandwidth thus creating high-speed
backbone data transmissions and meets the requirement of
heavy-duty bandwidth-consuming applications. Each RJ-45
port supports Auto-MDIX allowing unlinking to another switch
directly without cable selection hassle. The two SFP interfaces
allow you to extend the network connection distance up to
70km or to integrate other advanced solutions for investment
protection.
It supports versatile smart features efficiently to manage
network resources. The Trunk function enables cascading of
two or more devices with a larger bandwidth; up to 6 trunk
groups eliminate network bottlenecks from increased
bandwidth. In order to reduce latency, increase security for
confidential data and save costs for expensive routers, you can
partition the network into 4096 groups of VLANs using 802.1Q
Tagging technology. Moreover, the port-based QoS and 802.1p
tagged QoS allow you to priorities traffic for time-sensitive
applications.

2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
2.1. Front Panel
LED Indicators:
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch
and the network (see the LED Indicators chapter below).
100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Ports (Port 1~48):
These ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or
100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full- duplex transfer
modes. These ports also supports automatic MDI/MDIX
crossover detection function gives true “plug and play”
capability, just need to plug-in the network cable to the hub
directly and don’t care if the end node is NIC (Network
Interface Card) or switch and hub.
Combo mini-GBIC Ports (Port 49~50)
The Switch is equipped with two combo mini-GBIC ports,
supported optional 1000BASE-SX/LX mini-GBIC module.
The 1000BASE-T port 49 and 50 are the same ports with the
mini-GBIC port 49 and 50, when plug in the mini-GBIC module,
the device will activate mini-GBIC, and the RJ45 port will be
disabled.
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Port 49~52):
The Switch four Gigabit twisted pair ports, supported auto
negotiable 10/100/1000Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX crossover
detection function, this function gives true “plug and play”
capability, just need to plug-in the network cable to the hub
directly and don’t care if the end node is NIC (Network
Interface Card) or switch and hub. These ports can operate in
half-duplex mode for 10/100Mbps and full- duplex mode for
10/100/1000Mbps.

Reset:
The Reset button is to reset all the setting back to the factory
default.
Note:
Note
1. When the port was set to “Forced Mode”, the
Auto MDI/MDIX will be disabled.
2. Be sure that you recorded the setting of your
device, else all the setting will be erased when
pressing the “Reset” button.

3. INSTALLATION
The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its
performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See
Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature
and humidity operating ranges.
Install the Switch in a site free from strong
electromagnetic field generators (such as motors),
vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the
hub for ventilation.
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can
support its weight, or in an EIAstandard-size equipment
rack. For information on rack installation, see the next
section, Rack Mounting.
When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the
rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber
feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from
scratching.

3.1. Rack Mounting
The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch
rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other
equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the switch’s front
panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided
screws.
Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount
each switch in the rack.
12

3.2. Connecting Network Cable
The Switch supports 48-port 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet and it runs both in half and full duplex mode
using two pair of Category 5 cable.
The Switch also supports 4-port 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
that runs in Auto-negotiation mode and 10Mbps Ethernet or
100Mbps Fast Ethernet that runs both in half and full duplex
mode and 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet runs in full duplex mode
using four pair of Category 5 Cable.
These RJ45 ports are Auto-MDI type port. The Switch can auto
transform to MDI-II or MDI-X type, so you can just make an
easy connection that without worrying if you are using a
standard or crossover RJ45 cable.
There are additional 2 ports mini-GBIC slot for optional
mini-GBIC module.
3.3. AC Power
The Switch used the AC power supply 100-240VAC, 50-60 Hz.
The power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to
the AC power connector and the system fan. The switch’s
power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically
and may be turned on without having any or all LAN segment
cables connected.
