INSTALLATION
This section describes the functionalities of the Gigabit Ethernet
Switch’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop.
Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter
completely before continuing.
In the following section, the term “Switch” means the Switch, GSD-800;
term of “switch” can be any third part switches.
2.1 Product Description
The PLANET GSD-800 is a 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch
in a compact housing for easily desktop placement. With 8 ports
respectively, non-blocking wire-speed performance and 16Gbps internal
switching fabric, the Switch can handle extremely large amounts of data
in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.
The Switch has 8K MAC Address table. The Switch offers wire-speed
packets transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The high data
throughput of Switch makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments,
especially while network upgrades to a Gigabit environment.
All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation
for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables.
Support is standard for Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of
connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or
crossover cables.
The Flow Control function allows your Gigabit Ethernet Switch supported
routers and servers to directly connect to this Switch for fast, reliable
data transfer.
2.1.1 Product Overview
The PLANET GSD-800 is a Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 8 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 8 ports. The Gigabit ports with jumbo frame feature supported,
can handle extremely large amounts of data transmission in a secure
topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers.

The GSD-800 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.
