Chapter 2 Introduction to the

Gigabyte 2+24 Ports

10/100/1000Mbps Management

Switching Hub

2.1 General Description

The Gigabyte GN-GSV2401M is a powerful, high-performance, Fast Ethernet

switching hub, which acts as traffic controller for 24 local routes and 2 highways to

connect your networks to other outside networks.

With all 24 ports capable of 10 or 100 Mbps auto-negotiation operation (NWay)

and 2 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, the switching hub can automatically negotiate

with the connected partners for the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for

micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved

performance, enabling bandwidth-demanding multimedia, imaging and database

applications. Moreover, the 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy

way to migrate 10Mbps to 100 Mbps network with ease. Compared to the shared

10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switching hub delivers a dedicated

10/100Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion

issues and the most cost-effective way to invest in your network’s performance in

the long run.

Store-and-forward switching mode guarantees low latency, plus eliminates all

network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under fullduplex

mode, transmission and reception of the frames can occur simultaneously without

causing collisions, as well as doubling the network bandwidth.

The switching hub is plug-and-play without needing any software to configure,

and is also fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the

abundant diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel provide the operating status of

individual ports and the entire system.

On/Off switch

After plugging in the power source with the power cable, you may turn the switch

to “I” for on and “O” for off.

Power socket for connecting the power

For compatibility with electric service in most areas of the world, the switching

hub’s power supply automatically adjusts to line power in the range 100-220 VAC

and 50~60 Hz.

Plug the female end of the power cord firmly into the receptacle on the rear panel

of the switching hub. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electric service

outlet. The device is now ready to be turned on.

Chapter 3 Installing and Using

the Switching Hub

11

3.1 Installation

The site where you place the GN-GSV2401M may greatly affect its performance.

When installing, take the following into your consideration:

• Install the GN-GSV2401M in a fairly cool and dry place. See Physical

Specification for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating

ranges.

• Install the GN-GSV2401M in a site free from strong electromagnetic field

generators (such as motors), viberation, dust and direct exposure to

sunlight.

• Leave at least 10cm (about 4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the

hub for ventilation.

• Install the GN-GSV2401M on the sturdy, level surface that can support its

weight, or in a standard-size equipment rack.

Connecting Network Cable

The GN-GSV2401M supports 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet. It runs full/half

duplex transfer mode for 10/100Mbps and full duplex transfer mode for 1000Mbps.

Each port on the GN-GSV2401M supports Auto-MDI/MDI-X. Auto-MDI/MDI-X is a

feature that eliminates the need for worring about using either a standard or

crossover cable – you can use either one – and allows any port to be an uplink

port.

Power On

The GN-GSV2401M can be used with AC power supply 100~220V AC, 50~60Hz.

The power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC power

connector and the system fan. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local

power source automatically and may be turned on without having any or all LAN

segment cables connected.

12

3.2 Web-Based Management Function

The GN-GSV2401M provides Web based configuration.You can manage and

monitor the switch through your Internet Explorer browser or Netscape

Communicator.

Before you manage and monitor the switch, you will need to assign a Static IP

Address to the computer that you are using to configure the switch on the same

subnet.

For instance, the default IP address of the switch is 192.168.223.100 and the

subnet mask 255.255.255.0. You can enter IP address 192.168.223.20

(assuming that it is not already assigned to another network device), subnet mask

255.255.255.0 to your computer.

Note: If you need the instructions on how to do this, please refer to Appendix

A, “Configuration of the PCs”

The default values of the Web based configuration as follows:

IP Address 192.168.223.100

Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

User Name admin

Password 123
