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.

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
