INSTALLATION
TThis section describes the functionalities of GSD-800S’s 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 GSD-800S provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet Switch ports. The PLANET GSD-800S
delivers eight ports worth of high-performance, feature-rich integrated Gigabit Ethernet
switching over traditional copper cabling. The GSD-800S is capable of smart functions,
such as VLAN, Port trunking and Prot mirroring. GSD-800S can be congured by out-of-
band channel via the console port (RS232) directly. Each port supports 10Mbps, 100Mbps,
and 1000Mbps as well as half/full mode and can be easily connected to corporate
backbones and servers.
2.1.1 Product Overview
PLANET GSD-800S is a gigabit Ethernet switch with 8 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps ports
for high-speed network connectivity. GSD-800S 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 port can handle large amounts of data transmission
in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers.
This product 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, GSD-800S 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 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 a GSD-800S
This part describes how to install your GSD-800S Gigabit Ethernet Switch and make
connections to the switch. Please read the following topics and perform the procedures in
the order being presented.
PLANET GSD-800S Gigabit Ethernet Switch do not need software conguration. To install
your GSD-800S on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps.
2.2.1 Desktop Installation
To install a GSD-800S 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 GSD-800S on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source.
 NOTE:
Optional rack-ear for 10-inch cabinet rack mounting (RKE-10A)
and 19-inch cabinet rack mounting (RKE-10B) is available upon
request.
Step3: Keep enough ventilation space between the switch and the surrounding objects
 NOTE:
When choosing a location, please keep in mind the environ-
mental restrictions discussed in Chapter 1, Section 4, Product
Specication.
Step4: Connect your GSD-800S to network devices

A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports
on the front of the GSD-800S.
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 Specication in Section 4, Specication.
Step5: Supply power to the Switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the GSD-800S
B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall outlet.
When the GSD-800S receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.

CONFIGURATION
Unlike the unmanaged switch, GSD-800S performs series smart functions that make the
switch operate more effectively. This section will describe the common usage of the Switch
Smart Con-guration.
3.1 Preparing for conguration
3.1.1 Connecting a PC or Terminal to the RS-232 Port
When you are ready to congure the smart functions of the switch, make sure you had
connected the supplied RS-232 serial cable to the RS-232 port at the front panel of your
GSD-800S Switch and your PC.
3.1.2 Terminal Emulation Setup Program
In Windows 98/2000/XP, launch “HyperTerminal”, create a new connection, and adjust
settings as below:
● Emulation: VT-100 compatible
● Baud per second: 115200
● Data bits: 8
● Parity: None
● Stop bits: 1
● Flow Control: None
To gain a demo, please see the Figure 3-1.

3.1.3 Login
Login is required to access the command console after the system start up successfully.
The factory default password is “admin”. You may change it in the Console command
group. To access to the Console interface, please always enter the correct password. (See
Figure 3-2)
Figure 3-2 GSD-800S Login Screen
3.2 General
3.2.1 Command Hierarchy
The CLI is hierarchical with two levels: a top level and a group level. The group level
consists of the following groups:
● System
● Console
● Port
● MAC
● VLAN
● Aggr
● QoS
● Mirror
● IP
At top level you may enter a command and by giving the full command string, including
group, or you may change context into a group by entering the name of the group.
At group level you may enter commands for the particular group you have chosen
without specifying the group name or you may return to the top level by entering the up
command. The current level and group is indicated by the prompt. If you are at the top
level, the prompt will be:
>

10
11
If you are at group level, the prompt will display the actual group, e.g.
System>
At group level you also have the option of using the slash (/) key to refer to a context
relative to the top level. E.g. you may be in the system group and enter a /console
command into the console group.
3.2.2 Login/Logout Procedures
To get access to the CLI you must login by entering a password. You will automatically
be queried about the password. The password is congurable. The password check may
be disabled by setting the password to an empty string , in which case any password
entered during login will be accepted.
You may logout at any time and at any context level using the exit command.
3.2.3 Help Utility
You may get help by pressing the ? key or entering help. The help info depends on the
context:
● At top level, a list of command groups is displayed.
● At group level, a list of the command syntaxes for the current group is dis-
played.
● If the help command is issued for a specific command, the command syntax
and a description of the command are shown.
3.2.4 Example
The command hierarchy and the help utility is demonstrated in the following example:
> ? <enter>
Commands at top level:
System – System commands
Console – Console commands
Port – Port commands
MAC - MAC table commands
VLAN – VLAN commands
Aggregation – Aggregation/Trunking commands
QoS – QoS commands
Mirror – Mirror commands
IP – IP commands

console <enter>
Console> ? <enter>
Commands at Console level:
Console Configuration
Console Password [<password>]
Console Timeout [<timeout>]
Console Prompt [<prompt string>]
------
Up
Console> password ?
Syntax:
Console Password [<password>]
Description:
Set or display console password. The empty string ("") disables the password
check.
[<password>]: Password string of up to 16 characters.
Console>
3.2.6 Terminology
The following table shows general parameter types used in command syntaxes and
descriptions.
<port> Port identifier: Any number in the range 1-8.
<portlist> Comma and/or dash separated port list. This type can be used
for specifying individual ports or a range of ports. The keyword
none can be used to specify an empty port list. The keyword
all can be used to specify all ports. Example: 1,3,8-12
<macaddress> MAC Address; format: hh-hh-hh-hh-hh-hh , hh:hh:hh:hh:
hh:hh or hhhhhhhhhhhh . The hh is Hexadecimal number in
the range 0x00 to 0xFF. Example: 00-00-24-F1-02-03

12
13
<vid> VLAN ID: Decimal number in the range 1-8. The keyword all
can be used to specify all VLAN IDs.
<vidlist> Comma and/or dash separated VLAN ID list. This type can be
used for specifying individual VLAN IDs or a range of VLAN
IDs. The keyword none can be used to specify an empty
VLAN ID list. Example: 1,2,4-6
<class> Internal class of service.4 queues: low | normal | medium |
high
The <portlist> type is very useful when setting up multiple ports in the same mode. For
example, the following commands will divide the ports into two untagged VLANs:
vlan add 1 1-4
vlan add 2 5-7
vlan pvid 1-4 1
vlan pvid 5-7 2
