2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION This product provides both Copper and Fiber connecter at same switch – 24 Ports TP and 16 Ports SFP (shared with Port #9 to 24), and automatically distinguishes the speed of incoming connection. This section describes the hardware features of GSW-2416SF. 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.
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 GSW-2416SF from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the GSW-2416SF. 2.
Caution: You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty. Step 3: Secure the brackets tightly. Step 4: Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side. Step 5: After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-4.

5.2 Port Config This section provides current ports status and detail setting of each port of GSW-2416SF. The screen in Figure 5-3 appears and Table 5-1 describes the port configuration object of switch. Figure 5-3 GSW-2416SF Port Configuration Web Page screen #Notice: Due to VID value “0” is reserved for management purpose, the management linked port have to configured with PVID=0. For example: The management PC connected to Port-24 of the switch via Ethernet.
Object Description Port Indicate port 1 to port 24. Mode Allow configuring the port speed and operation mode. Draw the menu bar to select the mode. z z z z z z z Flow Control Auto Speed - Setup Auto negotiation. 10 half - Force sets 10Mbps/Half-Duplex mode. 10 Full - Force sets 10Mbps/Full-Duplex mode. 100 half - Force sets 100Mbps/Half-Duplex mode. 100 full - Force sets 100Mbps/Full-Duplex mode. 1000 full - Force sets 10000Mbps/Full-Duplex mode. Disable - Shutdown the port manually.
5.3 VLAN Setup A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows you to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plug into the same switch physically. The GSW-2416SF switch supports Port-Base VLAN setting in web management page.
5.3.2 VLAN setting example: 5.3.2.1 Two separate VLAN The diagram shows how the switch handle Tagged and Untagged traffic flow for two VLANs. VLAN Group 2 and VLAN Group 3 are separated VLAN. Each VLAN isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. The screen in Figure 5-5 appears and Table 5-2 describes the port configuration of switch.
Setup steps 1. VLAN Group Set VALN Group 1 = default-VLAN with VID (VLAN ID)=1 Add two VLANs – VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 VLAN Group 2 with VID=2 VLAN Group 3 with VID=3 2. Assign VLAN Member : VLAN 2: Port-1, Port-2 and Port-3 VLAN 3: Port-4, Port-5 and Port-6 VLAN 1: All other ports – Port-7~Port-24 3. Assign PVID for each port: Port-1, Port-2 and Port-3: PVID=2 Port-4, Port-5 and Port-6: PVID=3 Port-7~Port-24: PVID=1 4.

Figure 5-9 VLAN 2 member assign Web page screen #Notice: Change VLAN settings for every time, you have to reboot the switch to apply new settings. 5.3.2.2 Overlap VLAN The scenario described as follow: 1. Port-16 is the file server port for all the workstations 2. Port-1 to Port-15 is different devices that do need to see each other Setup steps 1. Port Setting 1.1 Assign VLAN 1 as the default VLAN group for all ports 1.2 Assign VLAN 2 for the second VLAN group with Port-1 and Port-16 1.
5.4 Port Trunk Setup This section allows you to disable or enable trunk function of two ports or four ports together to speed up data transmission. The GSW-2416SF provides up to 3 Trunk group, each group supports maximum 4 ports, the screen in Figure 5-10 appears. Figure 5-10 GSW-2416SF Port Trunk Setup Web Page screen To configure the Port Trunk, with the specific Trunk ID, select Member ports to meet required.
#Notice: 1. After turn on the port trunk feature, port 1 and port 2 or port 17,18,19,20 should connect to another switch, such as another GSW-2416SF, that also supports port trunk feature to double the bandwidth in between. Otherwise, if the connected switch do not support port trunk, it will cause network loop and hangs the whole network. 2. The GSW-2416SF doesn’t support LACP (Link Aggregation control Protocol) trunk type yet. Connect with LACP type switch the trunk function might be failed. 3.

6. SWITCH OPERATION 6.1 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. 6.2 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.
7.TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If the Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. The Link LED is not lit Solution: Check the cable connection and remove duplex mode of the Switch. Some stations cannot talk to other stations located on the other port Solution: Please check the VLAN, port trunking function that may introduce this kind of problem.
