INSTALLATION This section describes the functionalities of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing. In the following section, the term “Switch” means the Switch, GSD-800; term of “switch” can be any third part switches. 2.1 Product Description The PLANET GSD-800 is a 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch in a compact housing for easily desktop placement.
The GSD-800 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, the Switch could recognize up to 8K different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding at full wire speed. 2.1.2 Switch Front Panel Figure 2-1 shows a front panel of GSD-800. Figure 2-1 GSD-800 front panel 2.1.
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 current to the Switch or the power adapter. 2.
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. Step 5: Supply power to the Switch. A. Connect one end of the power cable to the Switch. B. Connect the 100-240V AC power cord to a standard wall outlet. When the Switch receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green.
3. Switch Operation 3.1 Address Table The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch. 3.2 Learning When one packet comes in from any port, The Switch will record the source address, port no. And the other related information in address table.
network needs efficiency and stability. The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packetheader, searches the routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the Switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the Switch is most commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall performance.
4. TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Gigabit Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. The per port LED is not lit Solution: Check the cable connection of the GSD-800. Performance is bad Solution: Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device. The GSD-800 is run at Auto-negotiation mode and if the partner is set to half duplex, then the performance will be poor.

A.2 RJ-45 cable Pin Assignments The standard RJ-45 receptacle/connector There are 8 wires on a standard UTP/STP cable and each wire is colorcoded. The following shows the pin allocation and color of straight cable and crossover cable connection: Figure A-1: Straight-Through and Crossover Cable Please make sure your connected cables are with same pin assignment and color as above picture before deploying the cables into your network.
