SWITCH
ARCHITECTURE
The switch performs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric.
This allows wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low
latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features
full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the
bandwidth of each connection.
This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure
maximum data integrity. With this technology, the entire packet
must be received into a buffer and checked for validity before
being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated
throughout the network.
NETWORK
MANAGEMENT
OPTIONS
The switch can also be managed over the network with a web
browser or Telnet application. The switch includes a built-in
network management agent that allows it to be managed
in-band using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) protocols. It
also has an RJ45 console port connector on the front panel for
out-of-band management. A PC may be connected to this port
for configuration and monitoring out-of-band via a null-modem
serial cable. (See Appendix B for wiring options.)
NOTE:For a detailed description of the management features,
refer to the User’s manual.

DESCRIPTION OF
HARDWARE
1000BASE-T
PORTS
The switch contains 24 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. All RJ-45 ports
support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, auto-negotiation and
IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the optimum
data rate and transmission can be selected automatically.
SFP
TRANSCEIVER
SLOTS
GEPOESM-ESW26K supports the Small Form Factor Pluggable
(SFP) transceiver slots are shared with RJ-45 port 25 to 26. In
the default configuration, if an SFP transceiver (purchased
separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on the port,
the associated RJ-45 port is disabled.
The following table shows a list of transceiver types which have
been tested with
the switch. For an updated list of vendors supplying these
transceivers, contact your local dealer. For information on the
recommended standards for fiber optic cabling, see “1000 Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain” on page 28.

NETWORK PLANNING
INTRODUCTION
TO SWITCHING A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple
packets; it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges
or routers. Therefore the switch has been recognized as one of
the most important devices for today’s networking technology.
When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the
network access point such as file server, the device can be
connected directly to a switched port. And, by using full-duplex
mode, the bandwidth of the dedicated segment can be doubled
to maximize throughput.
When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the
distance between end stations is limited by a maximum hop
count. However, a switch can subdividing the network into
smaller and more manageable segments, and linking them to
the larger network than it turns the hop count back to zero and
removes the limitation.
A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet,
or Gigabit Ethernet network to significantly increase bandwidth
while using conventional cabling and network cards.
APPLICATION
EXAMPLES The GEPOESM-ESW26K-Port Series Switch implements 24
Gigabit Ethernet TP ports with auto MDIX and 2 slots for the
removable SFP module (GEPOESM-ESW26K port 25/26) which
supports comprehensive types of fiber connection, such as LC
and BiDi-LC modules. It is not only designed to segment your
network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up
network connections. Some typical applications are described
below.
The switch is suitable for the following applications.
 Remote site application is used in Enterprise or SMB
 Peer-to-peer application is used in two remote offices
 Office network
 High Performance Requirement environment
 Advance Security for network safety application
 Suitable for data/ voice and video conference application

INSTALLING THE
SWITCH
SELECTING A
SITE The Switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment
rack (Via Optional Rack mount Kit) or on a flat surface. Be
sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
◆ The site should:
 Be at the center of all the devices you want to link and
near a power outlet.
 Be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 40°C
(32 to 104 °F) and its humidity within 10% to 90%,
non-condensing.
 Be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining
the devices.
 Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
◆ Make sure the twisted-pair Ethernet cable is always routed
away from power lines, radios, transmitters or any other
electrical interference.
◆ Make sure that GEPOESM-ESW26K-Port Series Switch is
connected to a separate grounded power outlet that
provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.
ETHERNET
CABLING To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a
network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for
100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following
criteria against the current installation of your network:
◆ Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded
twisted pair (STP) cable with RJ-45 connectors; Category 5
or Category 5e with maximum length of 100 meters is
recommend 100BASE-TX, and Category 5e or 6 with
maximum length of 100 meters is recommend for
1000BASE-T.
◆ Protection from radio frequency interference emissions.
◆ Electrical surge suppression.
◆ Separation of electrical wires and data based network
wiring.
◆ Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or
shields.
