2.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 “Gigabit Ethernet Switch”
means the GSD-805.
2.1 Product Description
The PLANET GSD-805 is 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet Switch with non-blocking wire-speed performance and
new metal shape for easily desktop deployment in compact
housing or SOHO application.
With a 16Gbps internal switching fabric, the Gigabit Ethernet
Switch can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure
topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.
The Gigabit Ethernet Switch has 4K MAC Address table and
offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without risk of
packet loss. The Gigabit ports with 9K jumbo packet support
can handle large amounts of data transmission in a secure
topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers. The
high data throughput of the device makes it ideal for most
Gigabit environments, especially 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 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 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
