1. INTROUCTION
1.1Checklist
Check the contents ofyour package for following parts:
l GSW-601S.
l User's manual.
l Power cord.
l 19”rackmount brackets.
l RS-232 cable.
Ifanyofthesepieces are missing or damaged, please
contactyour dealer immediately,if possible, retain the
carton including the original packing material,and usethem
againstto repack the product in casethere is aneed to
return it to usfor repair.
1.2About the Switch
The Switch GSW-601S is designed to allow simultaneous
transmission ofmultiple packetsvia an internal high-speed
data channel.This means that it can partition anetwork
more efficientlythan bridges or routersin most
environments.
The Switch isequipped with Category5copper cable or
fiber optic cable foruplinking to anetworkbackbone or
network server.It iscompatible with all10Mbps, 100Mbps
and 1000MbpsEthernet environments. The increased
speed and extra bandwidth offered byGigabit Ethernet will
support faster and more users applicationswith generating
more traffic.

PLANET NOVASwitch series

In addition, the Switch isalso supportone module slot for 2
Gigabit Ethernet portsto uplinkto aserver ornetwork
backbone. These Switchesare designed forPlug and Play
installation, allowsthe network administrator to simply
connectthe networkand powercables and the
Switching/bridging functions begin automatically.
The front panel oftheseSwitches provide LEDsfor easy
recognition ofthe switchoperation statusand for
troubleshooting. These LEDsdisplaythe powerstatus for
the systemand link/speed/ collision, full-duplex,transmit
and receive status for each port.
The built-in console interface can be used to configure the
Switch’ssetting for VLAN, and Port TrunkGroups,Port
Mirroring and Port Speed, Port enable/ disable.

2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
This product seriesprovide three different running speed –
10Mbps,100Mbps, and 1000Mbps in the sameswitch and
automaticallydistinguish the speed of incoming connection.
This section describesthe hardwarefeaturesof theseSwitches.
For easiermanagement and control ofthe switch, familiarize
yourself with its displayindicators, and ports. Front panel
illustrationsin this chapterdisplaythe unit LED indicators.
Beforeconnecting anynetwork deviceto the switch, read this
chapter carefully
There are two choice ofdifferent module for expansion:
l
2port Copper module
l 2port Fiber module
2.1Front Panel
The unit front panel providesa simple interface monitoring
the switching hub. It includes a power smart and port

2.2Rear Panel
The rearpanel ofthe Switch indicates a AC inlet power
socket, which accepts input power from100 to 240VAC,
50-60Hz. And a RS-232 console port for setting up the
switchvia aconnection to aterminal or PC using aterminal
emulation program.
PowerNotice:
1.The deviceis apower-required device, it means, it will
not work till it is powered. If your networksshould active
all the time, please considerusing UPS (Uninterrupted
PowerSupply)for yourdevice. It willprevent you from
networkdata loss or networkdowntime.
2.In some area, installing a surge suppression device may
also helpto protect your switch frombeing damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch orthe power
adapter.
2.3Hardware Installation
2.3.1 Connecting end node or hub or switch
1. Place the Switch on asmooth surface or fasten the
mounting brackets with the provided screws in a
standard 19”rack.
2. Connect switch orPC to one portof the Switch using
Category3/4/5 UTP/STP cabling.
3. Connect anotherswitch or PC to the other port of
Switchbyfollowing the sameprocess as described in
Step3.
Notice:
Cable distance for Switch
The cable distance between Ethernet Switchand hub/PC
should not exceed 100 meter for UTP/STPcable, 220m
for62.5/125 fiber cable and 500mfor 50/125 fiber cable.

Make sure the wiring is correct
It can be used Category3/4/5 cablein 10 Mbpsoperation.
Toreliablyoperate your networkat 100Mbpsand
1000Mbps, you mustusean Unshielded Twisted-Pair
(UTP) Category5cable, or better Data Grade cabling.
While aCategory 3or 4cable mayinitiallyseemto work,
it will soon cause data loss.
2.3.2 Connecting to Network Backbone or
Server
Connect to the Gigabit Ethernet portswith Category5
copper cable or fiber optic cable for uplinking to a
network backbone ornetworkserver.These ports
operate at 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode. Avalid
connection is indicated when the LinkLEDis light. The
