2.1 Product Description
The PLANET GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF is a 16/24-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Web Smart Ethernet Switch with
non-blocking wire-speed performance. With 32/48Gbps internal switching fabric, the GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF can
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 /500 KB on-chip
frame buffer. The GSW-1602SF /GSW-2404SF 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.
2.1.1 Product Overview
PLANET GSW-1602SF/2404SF is a Web Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 16/24 RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for
high-speed network connectivity. The GSW-1602SF/2404SF 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 traffic and relieves congestion on critical network paths. With an intelligent address recognition algorithm,

2.2 Install the GSW-1602SF/2404SF
This section describes how to install your GSW-1602SF/2404SF Web Smart 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-1602SF/2404SF Web Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch do not need software configuration. To install your
GSW-1602SF/2404SF on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps.
2.2.1 Desktop Installation
To install a GSW-1602SF/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 switch.
Step2: Place the GSW-1602SF/2404SF 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 restrictions discussed in Chapter
1, Section 4, and Specification.
Step4: Connect your GSW-1602SF/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/2404SF
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer servers, 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-1602SF/2404SF.
B. Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall outlet.
When the GSW-1602SF/2404SF receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.
2.2.2 Rack Mounting
To install the switch in a 19-inch standard rack, follow the instructions described below.
Step1: Place your GSW-1602SF/2404SF on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards your front side.
Step2: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the switch with supplied screws attached to the package. Figure 2-4
shows how to attach brackets to one side of the switch.
Figure 2-5 Attaching the brackets to the GSW-2404SF
Caution: You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by
using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.
6

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 Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack, as
shown in Figure 2-5
Figure 2-6 Mounting the Switch in a Rack
Step6: Precede with the steps 4 and steps 5 of session 2.2.1 Desktop Installation to connect the network cabling and
supply power to your switch.
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 e and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port
without having to power down the Switch. As the Figure 2-7 appears.
Figure 2-7 Plug-in the SFP transceiver
Approved PLANET SFP Transceivers
7

PLANET GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF support both 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 )
#Note:
It recommends using PLANET SFPs on the Switch. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is not
supported, the Switch will not recognize it.
Before connect the other switches, workstation or Media Converter.
1. Make sure both side of the SFP transfer 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 transfer model.
¾To connect to 1000Base-SX SFP transfer, use the multi-mode fiber cable- with one side must be male duplex
LC connector type.
¾To connect to 1000Base-LX SFP transfer, 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 Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating
correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link failed. Co works with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, set the
Link mode to “1000 Force” is needed.
