The GS1100 Series consists of the following models:
• GS1100-10HP
• GS1100-16
• GS1100-24E
• GS1100-24
The Switch is a 10/100/1000 Mbps multi-port switch that can be used to build high-performance
switched workgroup networks. The Switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-
speed networking. The Switch is fanless and designed for workgroups, departments or backbone
computing environments for small businesses.
All models are referred to as the “Switch” in this guide.
The following table describes the hardware features of the Switch by model.
The GS1100-10HP has eight GbE PoE ports that can supply power to the connected PoE powered
devices.
The GS1100-24 and GS1100-10HP have two SFP slots for uplink connection. Use SFP transceivers in these
slots for 100Mbps or 1Gbps connections to backbone Ethernet switches.
The Switch has a built-in algorithm that automatically assigns priority to received packets. It can operate
in low power idle mode in compliance with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE).

1.3 Example Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments. Note that the
Switch in the figure is just an example Switch and not your actual Switch.
1.3.1 PoE Example Application
The following example figure shows a Switch supplying PoE (Power over Ethernet) to Powered Devices
(PDs) such as an IP camera, a wireless router, an IP telephone and a general outdoor router that are not
within reach of a power outlet.
Figure 1 Powered Device Example
The PoE function is available for the GS1100-10HP.
Ports 1 to 8 on the GS1100-10HP support both the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet and IEEE 802.3at High
Power over Ethernet standards. The ports supply power of up to 30W per Ethernet port and up to the
total PoE power budget per Switch.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
GS1100 Series User’s Guide

The Switch is Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) because it provides a source of power via its Ethernet
ports. A powered device (PD) is a device such as an access point or an IP phone, that supports PoE
(Power over Ethernet) so that it can receive power from another device through a 10/100/1000 Mbps
Ethernet port.
In the figure above, the IP camera and IP phone get their power directly from the Switch. Aside from
minimizing the need for cables and wires, PoE removes the hassle of trying to find a nearby electric
outlet to power up devices.
1.3.2 Backbone Example Application
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.
In this example, 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.
Figure 2 Backbone Application
1.3.3 Bridging or Fiber Uplink Example Application
In this example, the Switch connects different company departments (RD and Sales) 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 via the Switch. You can
provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet or SFP port on the Switch.

2.1 Installation Scenarios
This chapter shows you how to install and connect the Switch.
The Switch can be:
• Placed on a desktop.
• Wall-mounted on a wall.
• Rack-mounted on a standard EIA rack.
See Table 1 on page 8 for the comparison table of the hardware installation methods for each model.
2.1.1 Before Using the Switch
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 Installation Requirements
sections in this chapter to know the types of screws and screw drivers 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 and turn it on.
2.2 Hardware Installation

You can use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) Ethernet cables for RJ-45 ports.
The following table describes the types of network cable used for the different connection speeds.
3.1.1 RJ-45 Auto-negotiating Ports
The 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX/1000 Base-T RJ-45 ports are auto-negotiating and auto-crossover.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mpbs)
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.
3.1.2 IEEE 802.3az EEE
The Switch supports the IEEE 802.3az EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) standard to help reduce power
consumption. This allows the Switch to go into power saving mode and switch off part of receive and
transmit circuitry when it is not transmitting or receiving data through an Ethernet connection.
An EEE-enabled device initiates Low Power Idle (LPI) signals to negotiate and wake up the remote
device when there is data to be transmitted. To use EEE, both devices should be EEE compliant.
EEE is configured on a per-system basis in the Switch. If one of the networking devices that connect to
the Switch does not support EEE, EEE may not work in the Switch to save power.
Press the IEEE 802.3az EEE ON/OFF button on the GS1100-10HP to turn on the EEE feature. Disable it if you
don't want the network performance to be impacted due to the latency from the additional time
required for the sleep and wake transition or if the remote side does not support it.
Note: Only the GS1100-10HP has the IEEE 802.3az EEE button. For the GS1100-16/24E/24, the
IEEE 802.3az EEE feature is enabled by default.
3.1.3 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The Switch has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In 10/100/1000 Mbps
Gigabit, the speed can be 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps and the duplex mode can be half duplex
or full duplex.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps)
and duplex mode (full duplex) of the connected device.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover
Ethernet cable.
Table 4 Network Cable Types
SPEED NETWORK CABLE TYPE
10 Mbps Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP
100 Mbps Category 5 UTP/STP
1000 Mbps Category 5e, 6 UTP/STP
Chapter 3 Hardware Panels
GS1100 Series User’s Guide
21
When auto-negotiation is turned on, an Ethernet port negotiates with the peer automatically to
determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-
negotiation or turns off this feature, the Switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal
on the cable. When the Switch’s auto-negotiation is turned off, an Ethernet port uses the pre-configured
speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings
of the peer Ethernet port are the same in order to connect.
All ports support auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports (Media Dependent Interface Crossover), so you
may use either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet cable for all Gigabit port
connections. Auto-crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to function as crossover or
straight ports, so crossover cables can connect both computers and switches or hubs.
3.1.4 PoE (GS1100-10HP)
The Switch supports the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE)
plus. The Switch is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) because it provides a source of power through its
Ethernet ports. Each device that receives power through an Ethernet port is a Powered Device (PD).
3.1.5 SFP Slots (GS1100-24 and GS1100-10HP)
These are slots for SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that
houses a transmitter and a receiver. The Switch does not come with transceivers. You must use
transceivers that comply with the Small Form-factor 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 or even copper cable connectors.
• Type: SFP connection interface
• Connection speed: 100/1000 Mbps
WARNING! To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating
fiber module’s connectors.
HANDLING! All transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is recommended you attach an ESD
preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface when
you install or remove a transceiver.
STORAGE! All modules are dust sensitive. When not in use, always keep
the dust plug on. Avoid getting dust and other contaminant into the
optical bores, as the optics do not work correctly when obstructed with
dust.
3.1.5.1 Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install a transceiver.
1Attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
2Align the transceiver in front of the slot opening.

3.2.1 Grounding (GS1100-10HP)
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.
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.

4.2 Improper Network Cabling and Topology
Improper network cabling or topology setup is a common cause of poor network performance or even
network failure.
Figure 22 Troubleshooting Improper Network Cabling and Topology
PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
Faulty cables Using faulty network cables may affect data rates and have an impact on your network
performance. Replace with new standard network cables.
Non-standard
network cables
Non-standard cables may increase the number of network collisions and cause other network
problems that affect your network performance. Refer to Table 4 on page 20 for more
information on network cable types.
Cabling Length If you use longer cables than are needed, transmission quality may be affected.
The network cables should not be longer than the limit of 100 meters.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
GS1100 Series User’s Guide

Too many hubs
between the
computers in the
network
Too many hubs (or repeaters) between the connected computers in the network may increase
the number of network collision or other network problems. Remove unnecessary hubs from the
network.
A loop in the
data path
A data path loop forms when there is more than one path or route between two networked
computers. This results in broadcast storms that will severely affect your network performance.
Make sure there are no loops in your network topology.
