INSTALLATION
This section describes the functionalities of GSW-1600/2400’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 GSW-1600/GSW-2400 is a 16/24-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet switch
with non-blocking wire-speed performance. With 32/44Gbps internal switching fabric,
the GSW-1600/GSW-2400 can handle extremely large amounts of data transmission in a
secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers. The GSW-1600 /GSW-2400
could recognize up to 4K/32K MAC Address table and provides 272 KB /2MB on-chip frame
buffer. The GSW-1600 /GSW-2400 offers wire-speed packet transfer performance without
risk of packet loss. The high data throughput, it can provide the most convenient for user
to upgrade their network to Gigabit environment.
The GSW-2400 also provides 2 Mini-GBIC interfaces for ber extension to uplink to a
server or network backbone.
2.1.1 Product Overview
PLANET GSW-1600/2400 is a gigabit Ethernet switch with 16/24 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps
ports for high-speed network connectivity. The GSW-1600/2400 can also automatically
identify and determine the correct transmission speed and half/full duplex mode of the
attached devices with its 16/24 ports. The Gigabit port can handle large amounts of data
transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers.
This products 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, GSW-1600/2400 could
recognize up to 4K/32K different MAC address and enables ltering and forwarding at full
wire speed.

2.1.3 LED Indicators
LED Color Function
PWR Green Lights to indicate that the Switch has power.
Over Heat *1
(GSW-2400
only)
Red Lights to indicate that the Switch exceeds its opera-
tional temperature.
Fan Failure *2
(GSW-2400
only)
Red Lights to indicate that the fans are not active.
LED Color Function
LNK/ACT Green
Lights to indicate that the Switch is successfully
connecting to the network.
Blinks to indicate the Switch is actively receiving or
sending the data over the port.
1000 Green
Lights to indicate that the port is operating at 1000
Mbps.
Off to indicate that the port is operating at 100Mbps
or 10 Mbps while the port’s Link is on.
FDX/COL Yellow
Lights to indicate that the port is operating in full-
duplex mode.
Blinks periodically to indicate that the connection is
experiencing collisions.
*1 When the internal temperature is equal to or higher than 60 degree C, the
Over Heat LED will light on. Once the temperature is equal to or higher than
70 degree C, the buzzer makes continuously alarm noise. Users can press the
buzzer On/Off to turn it off.
*2 There are five fans in the GSW-2400. Normally, all of the fans are running.
Once the running fan is failed, the Fan Failure LED will light on and the buzzer
makes continuously alarm noise. Users can press the buzzer On/Off button to
turn off the buzzer.

2.1.4 GSW-1600/2400 Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Switch indicates an AC inlet power socket, which accepts
input power from 100 to 240VAC, 50-60Hz.
Figure 2-3 Rear Panel of GSW-1600
Figure 2-4 Rear Panel of GSW-2400
Note: To press the button to enable the buzzer (Buzzer on, default), the
buzzer makes continuously alarm noise, as the system is overheating
or Fan failure. If the button is released (Buzzer off), the buzzer will not
work even if the system overheats or Fan failure.
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 cur-
rent to the Switch or the power adapter.
2.2 Installing a GSW-1600/2400
This part describes how to install your GSW-1600/2400 Gigabit Ethernet Switch and make
connections to the switch. Please read the following topics and perform the procedures
in the order being presented. PLANET GSW-1600/2400 Gigabit Ethernet Switch do not
need software conguration. To install your GSW-1600/2400 on a desktop or shelf, simply
complete the following steps.
2.2.1 Desktop Installation
To install a GSW-1600/2400 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 GSW-1600/2400 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 re-
strictions discussed in Chapter 1, Section 4, Specification.
Step4: Connect your GSW-1600/2400 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 GSW-1600/2400.
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 GSW-1600/2400.
B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall outlet.
When the GSW-1600/2400 receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.
