1.2 Product Description
The PLANET GSW-1602SF / GSW-2404SF is a 16/24-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Web Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch with
non-blocking wire-speed performance. With 32/48Gbps internal switching fabric, the GSW-1602SF / GSW-2404SFcan
handle extremely large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers.
The GSW-1602SF / GSW-2404SF could recognize up to 8K MAC Address table and provides 340KB /500KB on-chip
frame buffer. The GSW-1602SF/ GSW-2404SF offers wire-speed packet transfer performance withoutrisk of packet loss.
The high data throughput, it can provide the most convenient for user to upgrade their network to Gigabit environment.
Product Overview
PLANET GSW-1602SF / GSW-2404SF is a Web Smart GigabitEthernet Switch with 16/24 RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports
for high-speed network connectivity. GSW-1602SF provide two shared SFP module slots (share with port 15,16) and
GSW-2404SF provide four shared SFP module slots (share with port 21, 22, 23,24).
These mini-GBIC slots can be 1000Base-SX/LX through SFP (Small Factor Pluggable) interfaces, the distance can be
extended from 100 meters (TP), 550 meters (Multi-mode fiber), up to above 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers
(Single-mode fiber).

To press 5 seconds and release the RESET button. The GSW-1602SF / GSW-
2404SF will back to
the factory default mode (Except IP address). Be sure that you backup the current
configuration of
GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF; else the entire configuration will be erased when pressing the
“RESET” button.
2.1.3 Switch Rear Panel
The rearpanelof the Web SmartGigabit Switch indicates an AC inlet power socket,which accepts input power from 100
to 240V AC, 50-60Hz.
GSW-1602SF / GSW-2404SF
Figure 2-5 Rear Panel of GSW-1602SF / GSW-2404SF
AC Power Receptacle
For compatibility with electric service in most areas of the world, the Web Smart Switch’s power supply automatically
adjusts to line power in the range 100-240VAC and 50/60 Hz.
Plug the female end of the power cord firmly into the receptalbe on the rear panel of the Web Smart Switch. Plug the
other end of the power cord into an electric service outlet then the power will be ready.
The device is a power-required device, itmeans, 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.
In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your Web Smart
Switchfrom being damaged byunregulated surgeor current to theSwitchorthe poweradapter.

2.2 Install the GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF
This section describes how to install your GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF Web Smart Gigabit Switch and make connections
to the Switch. Please read the following topics and perform the procedures in the order being presented. PLANET
GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF Web Smart GigabitSwitch do not need software configuration. To install your
GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps.
2.2.1 Desktop Installation
To install a GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps:
Step1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Web Smart Gigabit Switch.
Step2: Place the GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source.
Step3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Web Smart Gigabit Switch and the surrounding objects.
When choosing a location, please keep in mind the environ
mental restrictions discussed in Chapter1,
Section 4, and Specification.
Step4: Connect your GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF 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-1602SF/GSW-2404SF.
B. Connect the otherend of the cable to thenetwork devices such as printer servers,workstations or routers…etc.
Connection to the Web Smart Gigabit 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 Web Smart Gigabit Switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF.
B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall outlet.
When the GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF receives power, the PowerLED should remain solid Green.
2.2.2 Rack Mounting
To install the Web Smart Gigabit Switch in a 19-inch standard rack, follow the instructions described below.
Step1: Place your GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards your front
side.

User’s Manual of GSW-1602SF / GSW-2404SF

Step2: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Web Smart Gigabit Switch with supplied screws attached to the
package. Figure 2-6 shows how to attach brackets to one side of the Web Smart Gigabit Switch.
Figure 2-6 Attaching the brackets to the Web SmartGigabit Switch
You must use the scre
ws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damagecaused to the parts by using
incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.
Step3: Secure the brackets tightly.
Step4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
Step5: After the brackets are attached to the Web Smart GigabitSwitch, use suitable screws to securely attach the
brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-7.

2.2.3 Installing the SFP transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot.
The SFP transceivers are hot-plug and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port
without having to power down the Web Smart Gigabit Switch. As the Figure 2-8 appears.
Figure 2-8 Plug-in the SFP transceiver
Approved PLANET SFP Transceivers
PLANET GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF supportboth single mode and multi mode SFP transceiver. The following list of
approved PLANET SFP transceivers is correct at the time of publication:
MGB-SX SFP (1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver )
MGB-LX SFP (1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver )
It recommends using PLANET SFPs on the Web Smart Gigabit Switch. If you insert a
SFP transceiver that is
not supported,the Web Smart Gigabit Switch will not recognize it.
Before connect the otherswitches, workstation or Media Converter.
1. Make sure both side ofthe SFP transceiver are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to
1000Base-SX, 1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX.
2. Check the fiber-optic cable type match the SFP transceiver model.
To connect to 1000Base-SX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable- with one side must be male
duplex LC connector type.
To connect to 1000Base-LX SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable-with one side must be male
duplex LC connector type.

Connect the fiber cable
1. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device – switches with SFP installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or a Media
Converter..
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the Web Smart Gigabit Switch.Ensure that the SFP
transceiveris operating correctly.
4. Check the Linkmodeof theSFPport if the link failed.Co works with some fiber-NICs orMedia Converters,set the Link
mode to “1000 Force” is needed.
