INTRODUCTION The LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option is designed to allow simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data channel. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers in most environments. The LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option is equipped with Category 5 copper cable or fiber optic cable for uplinking to a network backbone or network server.
l l l l l l l l l l l l l forwarding rates Full/ Half-Duplex capability on each TX port, full duplex only on 1000Base-TX port Automatic source address learning and aging. Support up to 16K MAC address Support up to total 64Mbit(16+2G), and 80Mbit (24+2G) packet buffers IEEE802.
I DENTIFYING E XTERNAL COMPONENTS This product series provide three different running speed – 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps in the same hub and automatically distinguish the speed of incoming connection. This section describes the hardware features of these Gigabit Switches. For easier management and control of the switch, familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators.
2 Port 10/100/1000T Gigabit Module Front Panel 2 Port 1000SX Gigabit Fiber Module Front Panel LED Indicator Panel Refer to the next chapter for detailed information about each of the switch’s LED indicators. Twisted-Pair Ports Use any of these ports to connect stations or hubs to the switch. These ports are MDI-X ports, which means you can use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect the switch to PCs, workstations, or servers through these ports.

Queues Priority Entry: Select “3” from Main Menu. Purpose: The switch can support priority either from tagged frame or based on the input ports. This entry is for port-based priority, level 0 stand for the lowest priority, level 7 as highest priority. Flow control will be disable if priority level 7 was selected . Default: All ports are cleared to priority zero on power-up, or hardware reset. Select :>> 3 which port ? (1 - 24 , E:Exit )... Example : Set port 1 to priority level 7. 1.

Uplink Port Entry: Select “5” from Main Menu. Purpose: The uplink port provides a way to connect the switch with a repeater hub, a workgroup switch, a router, or any type of interconnecting device compliance with IEEE 802.3 standards. Switch will send all frames with unmatched DA and multicast/broadcast frames to the uplink port. It is very important that each port is assigned to an uplink port, or data frames might be lost. The uplink port should be configured to be within the same VLAN as the source port.

Switch Operation Address Table The LevelOne 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option 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.. Learning When one packet comes in from any port.
increasing the network throughput and availability Store-and-Forward Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and Forward Ethernet Switching stores the incoming frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission. Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability.
Troubleshooting This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If LevelOne GSW-1601/2401TX 16/24 Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch with Gigabit option is not functioning properly, make sure the Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual..
