1.2.2 Ba c kb o ne Exa m ple Applic a tio n
The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be
expected in the near future. The Switch can be used standalone for a group of
heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and servers directly to the
Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch. All computers can share
high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network, simply add more
networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers, and so
on. Fig ure 4 Backbone Example Application
1.2.3 Bridg ing o r Fib e r- o ptic Uplink Exa m ple Applic a tio n
The Switch connects different company departments (RD and Sa le s) to the
corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server
and network bottlenecks. All users that need high bandwidth can connect to
high-speed department servers through the Switch. You can provide a super-fast
uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet or SFP port on the Switch.

1.2.5 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Applic a tio n Exa m ple
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be
partitioned into multiple logical networks. Stations on a logical network
belong to one or more groups. With VLAN, a station cannot
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
22
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same groups unless
such traffic first goes through a router. For more information on VLANs, refer
to Chapter 9 on page 86.
1.2.5.1 Ta g – b a se d VLAN Exa m ple
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain, therefore
increasing network performance by reducing broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can
be modified at any time by adding, moving or changing ports without any re-
cabling. Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the
same VLAN as the server. In the following figure only ports that need access
to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports can belong to other VLAN groups
too. Fig ure 7 Shared Server Using VLAN Example
1.2.6 IPv6 Suppo rt
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and
features. The increase in IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4
address) allows up to 3.4 x 1038 IP addresses. At the time of writing, the
Switch supports the following features. · Static address assignment and
stateless auto-configuration · Neighbor Discovery Protocol (a protocol used to
discover other IPv6 devices in a network) · Remote Management using PING,
telnet, SNMP, HTTP and TFTP services · ICMPv6 to report errors encountered in
packet processing and perform diagnostic functions, such as
“PING” · IPv4/IPv6 dual stack; the Switch can run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same
time · DHCPv6 client
1.3 Wa ys to Ma na g e the Switc h

GS1900 Series User’s Guide
23
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch · Web Configurator. This is recommended
for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported)
web browser. See Chapter 5 on page 50. · TFTP. Use Trivial File Transfer
Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup or restore. See
Section 33.1 on page 238, Section 33.3 on page 241, and Section 33.4 on page
242. · SNMP. The device can be configured by a SNMP manager. See Section 32.3
on page 224. · ZON Utility. ZON Utility is a program designed to help you
deploy and perform initial setup on a
network more efficiently. See Section 4.1 on page 45.
1.4 G o o d Ha b its fo r Ma na g ing the Switc h
Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage
the Switch more effectively. · Change the password. Use a password that is not
easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters. · Write down the password and put it
in a safe place. · Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to
restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If
you forget your password, you will have to reset the Switch to its factory
default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would
not have to totally re-configure the Switch. You could simply restore your
last configuration.

2.1 Sa fe ty Pre c a utio ns
Please observe the following before using the Switch: · It is recommended to
ask an authorized technician to attach the Switch on a desk or to the rack or
wall. Use the proper screws to prevent damage to the Switch. See the Insta lla
tio n Re q uire me nts sections in this chapter to know the types of screws
and screwdrivers for each mounting method. · Make sure there is at least 2 cm
of clearance on the top and bottom of the Switch, and at least 5 cm of
clearance on all four sides of the Switch. This allows air circulation for
cooling. · Do NOT block the ventilation holes nor store cables or power cords
on the Switch. Allow clearance for the ventilation holes to prevent your
Switch from overheating. This is especially crucial when your Switch does not
have fans. Overheating could affect the performance of your Switch, or even
damage it. · The surface of the Switch could be hot when it is functioning. Do
NOT put your hands on it. You may get burned. This could happen especially
when you are using a fanless Switch. · The Switches with fans are not suitable
for use in locations where children are likely to be present. To start using
the Switch, simply connect the power cables to turn it on.

3.1.1 Ethe rne t Po rts
The Switch has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In
10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, the speed can be 10Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000
Mbps. The duplex mode can be both half or full duplex at 100 Mbps and full
duplex only at 1000 Mbps. An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to
the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or
half duplex) of the connected device. An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port
automatically works with a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.
3.1.1.1 De fa ult Ethe rne t Se tting s
The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the Switch
are: · Speed: Auto · Duplex: Auto · Flow control: Off
3.1.2 SFP Slo ts
These are slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. A
transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a
transceiver to connect a fiber-optic cable to the Switch. The Switch does not
come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small
FormFactor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the
SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details. You can change
transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different transceivers
to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic
connectors. · Type: SFP connection interface

3.2.1 G ro unding
Grounding is a safety measure to direct excess electric charge to the ground.
It prevents damage to the Switch, and protects you from electrocution. Use the
grounding screw on the rear panel and the ground wire of the AC power supply
to ground the Switch.
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
38
Chapter 3 Hardware Overview
The grounding terminal and AC power ground where you install the Switch must
follow your country’s regulations. Qualified service personnel must ensure the
building’s protective earthing terminals are valid terminals. Installation of
Ethernet cables must be separate from AC power lines. To avoid electric surge
and electromagnetic interference, use a different electrical conduit or
raceway (tube/trough or enclosed conduit for protecting electric wiring) that
is 15 cm apart, or as specified by your country’s electrical regulations. Any
device that is located outdoors and connected to this product must be properly
grounded and surge protected. To the extent permissible by your country’s
applicable law, failure to follow these guidelines could result in damage to
your Switch which may not be covered by its warranty. Note: The specification
for surge or ESD protection assumes that the Switch is properly
grounded. 1 Remove the M4 ground screw from the Switch’s rear panel. 2 Secure
a green or yellow ground cable (16 AWG or smaller) to the Switch’s rear panel
using the M4
ground screw. Fig ure 59 Grounding
3 Attach the other end of the ground cable to a grounding bar located on the
rack where you install the Switch or to an on-site grounding terminal. Fig ure
60 Attach Ground Cable to Grounding Bar or On-site Grounding Terminal
4 The grounding terminal of the server rack or on-site grounding terminal must
also be grounded and connected to the building’s main grounding electrode.
Make sure the grounding terminal is connected to the buildings grounding
electrode and has an earth resistance of less than 10 ohms, or according to
your country’s electrical regulations.

nne c tio ns.
3.2.2 Po we r C o nne c tio n
Make sure you are using the correct power source and that no objects obstruct
the airflow of the fans. The Switch uses two power supply modules, one of
which is redundant, so if one power module fails the system can operate on the
remaining module.
Re a r Pa ne l Po we r C o nne c tio n
Connect one end of the supplied power cord or power adapter to the power
receptacle on the back of the Switch and the other end to the appropriate
power source. For Switches with a power switch (see Table 2 on page 19), use
the PO WER O N/ O FF switch to have the Switch power on or off.
C o nne c ting the Po we r
Use the following procedures to connect the Switch to a power source after you
have installed it in a rack. Note: Use the included power cord for the AC
power connection. 1 Connect the female end of the power cord to the AC power
socket. 2 Connect the other end of the cord to a power outlet.
