1.2 About the Switch
The Switch GSW-601S 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 Switch is equipped with Category 5 copper cable or
fiber optic cable for uplinking to a network backbone or
network server. It is compatible with all 10Mbps, 100Mbps
and 1000Mbps Ethernet environments. The increased
speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet will
support faster and more users applications with generating
more traffic.
7
GSW-601S User’s Manual
In addition, the Switch is also support one module slot for 2
Gigabit Ethernet ports to uplink to a server or network
backbone. These Switches are designed for Plug and Play
installation, allows the network administrator to simply
connect the network and power cables and the
Switching/bridging functions begin automatically.
The front panel of these Switches provide LEDs for easy
recognition of the switch operation status and for
troubleshooting. These LEDs display the power status for
the system and link/ speed/ collision, full-duplex, transmit
and receive status for each port.
The built-in console interface can be used to configure the
Switch’s setting for VLAN, and Port Trunk Groups, Port
Mirroring and Port Speed, Port enable/ disable.

2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
This product series provide three different running speed –
10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps in the same switch and
automatically distinguish the speed of incoming connection.
This section describes the hardware features of these 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.
Before connecting any network device to the switch, read this
chapter carefully
There are two choice of different module for expansion:

2.2 Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Switch indicates a AC inlet power
socket, which accepts input power from 100 to 240VAC,
50-60Hz. And a RS-232 console port for setting up the
switch via a connection to a terminal or PC using a terminal
emulation program.
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 switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power
adapter.
2.3 Hardware Installation
2.3.1 Connecting end node or hub or switch
1. Place the Switch on a smooth surface or fasten the
mounting brackets with the provided screws in a
standard 19” rack.
2. Connect switch or PC to one port of the Switch using
Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP cabling.
3. Connect another switch or PC to the other port of
Switch by following the same process as described in
Step3.
Notice:
Cable distance for Switch
The cable distance between Ethernet Switch and hub/PC
should not exceed 100 meter for UTP/STP cable, 220m
for 62.5/125 fiber cable and 500m for 50/125 fiber cable.
13
GSW-601S User’s Manual
Make sure the wiring is correct
It can be used Category 3/4/5 cable in 10 Mbps operation.
To reliably operate your network at 100Mbps and
1000Mbps, you must use an Unshielded Twisted-Pair
(UTP) Category 5 cable, or better Data Grade cabling.
While a Category 3 or 4 cable may initially seem to work,
it will soon cause data loss.
2.3.2 Connecting to Network Backbone or
Server
Connect to the Gigabit Ethernet ports with Category 5
copper cable or fiber optic cable for uplinking to a
network backbone or network server. These ports
operate at 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode. A valid

4 SWITCH OPERATION
4.1 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.
4.2 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. This information
will be used to decide either forwarding or filtering for
future packets.
4.3 Forwarding & Filtering
When one packet comes from some port of the
Ethernet Switching, it will also check the destination
address besides the source address learning. The
Ethernet Switching will lookup the address-table for
the destination address. If not found, this packet will
be forwarded to all the other ports except the port
which this packet comes in. And these ports will
transmit this packet to the network it connected. If
found, and the destination address is located at
different port from this packet comes in, the Ethernet
Switching will forward this packet to the port where
this destination address is located according to the
information from address table. But, if the destination
address is located at the same port with this packet
comes in, then this packet will be filtered. Thereby
increasing the network throughput and availability
29
GSW-601S User's Manual
4.4 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.
The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from
the packet-header, searches the routing table provided for
the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required.
The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for
connecting servers directly to the network, thereby
increasing throughput and availability. However, the
switch is most commonly used to segment existing hubs,
which nearly always improves overall performance. A
Ethernet Switching can be easily configured in any
Ethernet network environment to significantly boost
bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.
Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switching, the
source address and corresponding port number of each
incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table.
This information is subsequently used to filter packets
whose destination address is on the same segment as the
source address. This confines network traffic to its
respective domain, reducing the overall load on the
network.
The Switch performs "Store and forward" therefore, no
error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the
re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.
30
PLANET NOVASwitch series
4.4 Auto-Negotiation
The STP ports on the Switch have built-in
“Auto-negotiation”. This technology automatically sets the
best possible bandwidth when a connection is established
with another network device (usually at Power On or
Reset). This is done by detect the modes and speeds at
the second of both device is connected and capable of,
Both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices can connect with
the port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode. 1000Base-T
and 1000Base-SX can only connected in Full-duplex
mode.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If
Giga 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
Giga Switch
Some stations can not talk to other stations located on
The other port
Solution:
The address table may contain older information than of the
address table of that node. Please power down to refresh
the address information
