GSM Series User Manual 1. Introduction 1.1. Overview of GSM Series SNMP Managed Switches The GSM Series Switches are high performance web and SNMP managed switches that provide a mix of mini-GBIC/SFP ports and 10/100/1000Mbps copper Ethernet ports. With optional fibre transceivers installable into the mini-GBIC slots, a combination of either multi-mode fibre transceivers for short distance applications or single-mode fibre transceivers for long distance applications can be used to const

GSM Series User Manual • Key Features of GSM Series SNMP Managed Switches QoS: These switches offer powerful Quality of Service (QoS) functions. This feature adds support of TOS fields within the IP packet header (equal DSCP low 3 bits) on Layer 3 of the network framework and 6 types of network transmission events on Layer 4. QoS support is important for real-time applications based on information taken from Layer 2 to Layer 4, such as VoIP. VLAN: All switch models support Port-based

GSM Series User Manual Notes: * The two WDM (Wave Division Multiplexer) mini-GBIC modules are designed to facilitate a link over a single core of single-mode fibre cable. The two units must be used in a paired manner, one at either end of the link. * Mini-GBIC modules that are designed to the relevant standards should be compatible with any make of switch with SFP ports. If you have concerns regarding compatibility, please contact the supplier of your mini-GBIC product.

GSM Series User Manual 2.1.2. Cabling Requirements To help ensure a successful installation and keep network performance at optimum levels, take care to use Cat.5e grade or higher cabling. Ensure that stranded core UTP cable, if used, runs for no more than 10 metres, and that solid core runs for a maximum of 100 metres. Poor cabling is the most common cause for network dropouts or poor performance. 2.1.2.1. Cabling Requirements for UTP Ports • For Ethernet copper network connections, th
