VLAN
This mode makes the
GSW-1601 operate
as a VLAN isolation
switch and
1. Port 1 to port
14 will isolate
respectively.
2. Port 1 to port
14 can only
communicate with
port 15 and port
16 (uplink port).

respectively.
2. Port 1 to port
22 can only
communicate with
port 23 and port
24 (uplink port).
Extend
This mode makes the
GSW-1601 operate as
a distance extension
switch and port 1
to port 8 can only
transmit distance of
200m at speed of
10Mbps.

Power
Notice
1. The device is a power-required device,
meaning it will not work till it is powered. If
your network should be 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 areas, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect your Gigabit
Ethernet Switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch or
the power adapter.
