this chapter completely before continuing.
2.1 Product Description
The PLANET Switch provides 16/24 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports with 2 10/100/1000Mbps
ports and 2-SFP interfaces (port #17/25, port#18/26), either TP or SFP per port. The two
Gigabit ports either can be 1000Base-T for 10/100/1000Mbps or 1000Base-SX/LX through
SFP (Small Factor Pluggable) interface. The distance can be extended from 100 meters
(TP), 550 meters (Multi-mode fiber), up to above 10/50/70/120 kilometers (Single-mode
fiber). The Switch with non-blocking backplane and simplifies the task of upgrading your
LAN to cater for increased bandwidth demand.
Equipped with console, the Ethernet Smart Switch can be programmed for basic Switch
management functions such as port speed configuration, Port Trunking, VLAN, QoS,
bandwidth control and IGMP Snooping.
2.1.1 Product Overview
PLANET FGSW-1820RS/FGSW-2620RS, the Switch is Ethernet Smart Switch with 16/24
RJ-45 10/100Mbps ports. The Switch also provides up to two 10/100/1000Mbps ports
and 2-SFP interfaces for cost effective high-performance network connectivity. With its
8.8Gbps non-blocking switch fabric, the PLANET Switch can also provide a local, high band-
width, Fast Ethernet network for your departmental backbone plus the ability to trunk four
ports (800Mbps) to enable switch-to-switch backbone. The advanced functionality of the
Switch eliminates traditional problems associated with the use of Ethernet. Users can be
segregated using built-in VLAN functionality. These, coupled with the flexible fiber module
options, make the Switch one of the best and most cost-effective MTU switch solutions for
Multi-tenant service providers.
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 different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding at full wire speed.

Figure 2-3 Rear Panel of The Switch
Power Notice:
1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is pow-
ered. If your networks should active all the time, please consider using UPS
(Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network
data loss or network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect
your Switch from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the Switch
or the power adapter.
2.2 Installing the Switch
This part describes how to install your Ethernet Smart Switch and make connections to
the Switch. Please read the following topics and perform the procedures in the order
being presented.
To install your Switch on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps.
2.2.1 Desktop Installation
To install a Switch on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps:
Step1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch.
Step2: Place the Switch on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source.
Step3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Switch and the surrounding objects.
Note:
When choosing a location, please keep in mind the environmental
restrictions discussed in Chapter 1, Section 4, Specification.
Step4: Connect your Switch to network devices
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 10/100 RJ-45 ports on the

8
front of the Switch.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer serv-
ers, workstations or routers…etc.
Note:
Connection to the Switch requires UTP Category 5 network cabling
with RJ-45 tips. For more information, please see the Cabling
Specification in Appendix A.
Step5: Supply power to the Switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the Switch.
B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall outlet then power
on the Switch.
When the Switch receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.
2.2.2 Rack Mounting
To install the Switch in a 19-inch standard rack, follow the instructions described below.
Step1: Place your Switch on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards
your front side.
Step2: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Switch with supplied screws
attached to the package. Figure 2-4 shows how to attach brackets to one side of
the Switch.
Figure 2-4 Attaching the brackets to the Switch
Caution:
You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets.
Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would in-
validate your warranty.
Step3: Secure the brackets tightly.
Step4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
Step5: After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use suitable screws to securely
attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in figure 2-5.
