1. Introduction Welcome to the World of Network Switching. In modern business, communication and information sharing are fundamental to success. Computer networks have proven to be one of the fastest ways of communication. The SmartGST-2402 is a multi-port Switch that can be used to build high- performance switched workgroup networks. It is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking and is targeted at workgroup, department, or backbone computing environments. Fi

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. By employing address learning, this switching eliminated unnecessary transmission that slowed the

2. Hardware Description This Section describes the hardware of the SmartGST-2402 and gives a physical and functional overview of this switch. The physical dimensions: 440mm x 161mm x 44mm (L x W x H) Front Panel The Front Panel of the SmartGST-2402 consists of twenty-four 10/100Base- TX RJ-45 ports (Auto MDI/MDIX) and one expansion slot. The LED Indicators are also located on the front panel of the Switch. Figure 2-1. The Front panel of SmartGST-2402 RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDI

as shown in Figure 2-3. The Switch will work with AC in the range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. Figure 2-3. The Rear Panel of SmartGST-2402 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. Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and allow air circulation. Attaching Rubber Feet A. Make sure moun

Rack-mounted Installation The SmartGST-2402 comes with a rack-mounting kit and can be mounted in any EIA standard size, 19" Rack. The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch: 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. Figure 2-4. Attach mounting brackets with

Figure 2-5. Mounting the Switch in an EIA standard 19" Rack Note: For proper ventilation, allow about at least 4" (10 cm) of clearance on the front and 3.4" (8 cm) on the back of the Switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installations. Power On Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the Switch. The other side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The internal power supply of the Switch works with voltage range of AC in the 100-240VAC, frequency 50

3. Network Application This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the Switch is used. The SmartGST-2402 is designed as a segment switch. With its large address table (8k MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments. PC, workstations, and servers can communicate with each other by directly connecting with SmartGST-2402. The switch automatically learns node addresses, which are subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based

Figure 3-1. Small Workgroup Application Segment Bridge This switch is an ideal solution for departmental users in corporate backbones where large data broadcasts are constantly broadcast. In the illustration below, two Ethernet switches with PCs, a print server, and a local server are all connected to the Switch. All the devices in this network can communicate with each other through the Switch. Connecting servers to the Switch allow other users to access the data on server.
