1. Introduction GSW-2453, 3-slot Gigabit Chassis switch, is a modular Switch that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The Switch is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing environment. GSW-2453 features a “store-and-forward “ switching scheme. This allows the switch to auto-learn and store source address in an 4K-entry MAC address table.

transmissions. This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous transmissions over the same port (Full-duplex), which essentially doubled the bandwidth. Second, by reducing the collision domain to a single switch-port, which eliminated the need for carrier sensing. Third, by using the store-and-forward technology’s approach of inspecting each packet to intercept corrupt or redundant data, switching eliminated unnecessary transmission that slow the network.
2. Hardware Description This Section mainly describes the hardware of the GSW-2453, and gives a physical and functional overview of this chassis switch. Physical Dimension The GSW-2453 physical dimension is 440mm(W) x 224mm(D) x 44mm(H). Front Panel The Front Panel of the GSW-2453 consists of 3 module slots. Figure 2-1 The Front Panel of the GSW-2453 The modules in the picture are optional, not including in the package.
System LED Status Description Green Power On Off Power is not connected Power Gigabit Copper Module LED 1000/100 LK/ACT Status Description Green In 1000Mpbs speed Orange In 100Mbps speed Off In 10Mbps or no device is connected. Green The port is connecting with the device. Blinks The port is receiving or transmitting data. Off No device attached. Gigabit Mini GBIC Module LED LK/ACT Status Description Green The port is connecting with the device.
Rear Panel The 3-pronged power plug, 2 fans, power switching is located at the rear panel of the GSW-2453 as shown in Figure 2-2. The switch will work with AC power in the range of 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. Figure 2-2. The Rear Panel of the 3-slot Gigabit Cassis switch Desktop Installation Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy.
A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the Switch. B. After attached both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the Switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws.
3. Network Application GSW-2453 is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its large address table (4000 MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments. PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with 3-slot Gigabit Chassis s switch. The switch automatically learns nodes address, which are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address. .
4. Troubleshooting This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the GSW-2453. Incorrect connections The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when you link switch with other Ethernet device. For the UTP connector should use correct UTP or STP cable, 10/100Mbps port use 2 pairs twisted cable and Gigabit 1000T port use 4 pairs twisted cable. If the UTP connector is not correct pin on right position then the link will fail.
at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance. Diagnosing LED Indicators The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying problems, which describes common problems you may encounter and where you can find possible solutions. IF the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with power outlet, or power cord.
