UNPACKING AND SETUP
This section describes the functionalities of FNSW-4800 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 FNSW-4800, the Switch provides 48 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports. With
its Auto-negotiation capability, all the RJ-45 ports can be congured to speeds of 10/
20Mbps or 100/200Mbps automatically; the Switch is equipment with the MDI/ MDI-X
auto-detection for easily plug and play connection, regardless of cabling types-straight
through or crossover.
With increasing bandwidth requirements for local area networks, the Switch is the ideal
option to alleviate bottlenecks in client/ server and peer-to-peer environments in a cost-
effective way.
2.1.1 Product Overview
PLANET FNSW-4800 is 48-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch, with 48 RJ-45 10/
100Mbps ports for cost effective high-performance network connectivity. With its 8.8Gbps
non-blocking switch fabric, the Switch can also provide a local, high bandwidth.
The Switch also supports store-and-forward forwarding scheme to ensure low latency
and high data integrity, eliminates unnecessary trafc and relieves congestion on critical
network paths. With an intelligent address recognition algorithm, the Switch could
recognize up to 8K different MAC address and enables ltering and forwarding at full
wire speed.

Power
Notice:
1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not
work till it is powered. 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.
2.1.4 LED Indicators
System
PWR This indicator lights green when the Switch is receiving power. Otherwise,
it is off.
Per 10/100Mbps ports
LNK/ACT This indicator light green when the port is connected to an Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet station, if the indicator is blinking green, it will be transmitting or
receiving data on the network.
2.2 Installing a Switch
This part describes how to install your FNSW-4800 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:
Step 1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch.
Step 2: Place the Switch on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source.
Step 3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Switch and the surrounding
objects.
 NOTE:
When choosing a location, please keep in mind the envi-
ronmental restrictions discussed in Chapter 1, Section 4,
Specification.
Step 4: Connect your Switch to network devices
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 10/100 RJ-45 ports on the
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.
Step 5: 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.
Step 1: Place your Switch on a hard at surface, with the front panel positioned
towards your front side.
Step 2: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Switch with supplied
screws attached to the package. Figure 2-3 shows how to attach brackets
to one side of Switch.
Figure 2-3 Attaching the brackets to the FNSW-4800
Caution:
You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brack-
ets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws
would invalidate your warranty.
Step 3: Secure the brackets tightly.
Step 4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
Step 5: After the brackets are attached to the switch, use suitable screws to
securely attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-4.
