Thank you for choosing the Hawking HGS5T 5-Port 10/100/1000M Auto-sensing Gigabit Switch. This switch is designed to integrate 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T networking environments with a standard UTP (unshielded twisted-pair) Ethernet cable connection in your Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) or Home environment.
With increased speed and more bandwidth, Gigabit Ethernet is a great solution for reducing network bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and their buses get faster, and more users generate ever-greater traffic through the use of increasingly advanced applications. Upgrading key components, such as backbones and servers, to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network response times and significantly increase the speed of traffic between your subnets.
The H-GS5T is designed for easy installation and high performance and includes the following features: • • • • • • • • • • • • (5) 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports Supports Auto-Negotiation for 10/100/1000Mbps and duplex mode Supports Auto-MDIX for each port Supports Full/Half duplex transfer mode for 10 and 100Mbps Supports Full duplex transfer mode for 1000Mbps Full wire speed reception and transmission Store-and-Forward switching method Supports 8K of absolute MAC addresses Supports 256K Bytes of RAM f
The complete H-GS5T package consists of: • • One H-GS5T 5-Port 10/100/1000M Auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet Switch Four Rubber Feet with Adhesive Backing • • One External Power Adapter One User’s Manual Check to make sure that the unit was not damaged during shipping and that no items are missing. If you encounter a problem, please contact your dealer. Please read this manual thoroughly, and follow the installation and operation procedures detailed in this user’s manual.
This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED indicators of the switch. Front Panel The LED indicators will help you monitor the status of each port and connected segment. The functions of the LED indicators are described on the following page. Rear Panel The rear panel of the switch consists of a DC power connector and five 10/100/1000M auto-negotiation RJ-45 ports. The figure on the previous page shows the rear panel of the switch.
LED Indicators Power Link/Activity Speed (10/100/1000M) Description The indicator is lit when the power is on. Otherwise, it remains unlit. These LEDs are lit when there is a connection (or link) to the desired port. The LEDs blink whenever reception or transmission (i.e., Activity) of data is taking place.
Step 1. Place the H-GS5T on a smooth surface. Step 2. Connect the Power Adapter to the unit. (At this point, do not plug the adapter into the outlet.) Step 3. Connect a server, workstation, or PC to the switch using a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable. (For best results, use a CAT 5E cable.) Step 4. Repeat Step 3 as necessary for the remaining ports. Also, if needed, another hub/switch can be connected to any port on the unit. Step 5. Ensure that each device is connected properly.
“Auto-negotiation” (N-way) mode automatically sets the best possible bandwidth (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps) when a connection is established with another network device. Auto-negotiation functions are determined by these set datatransfer rate priorities: a. 1000Base-T Full Duplex (2000Mbps) b. 1000Base-T Half Duplex (1000Mbps) c. 100Base-TX Full Duplex (200 Mbps) d. 100Base-TX Half Duplex (100Mbps) e. 10Base-T Full Duplex (20Mbps) f.
