2. INSTALLATION
This section describes the functionalities of FGSW-4840S’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop or shelf.
Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
2.1 Product Description
The PLANET FGSW-4840S is a Web Smart Ethernet Switch provides 48 10/100Base-TX ports respectively with 2
10/100/1000Base-T ports and 2-SFP Mimi-GBIC interfaces. The FGSW-4840S can handle extremely large amounts of
data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers. The FGSW-4840S has an 8K MAC Address table.
The FGSW-4840S offers wire-speed packet transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of
the Switch makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments, especially network upgrades to a Gigabit environment.
2.1.1 Product Overview
PLANET FGSW-4840S is a Web Smart Ethernet Switch with 48 Fast Ethernet ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports support
10/100Mbps and 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e
cables. Also, all the ports support Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without
requiring special straight or crossover cables. The FGSW-4840S also provides 2 SFP Mini-GBIC interfaces for fiber
extension to uplink to a server or a network backbone.
This Switch also supports store-and-forward forwarding scheme to ensure low latency and high data integrity, eliminates
unnecessary traffic and relieves congestion on critical network paths. With an intelligent address recognition algorithm,
FGSW-4840S could recognize up to 8K different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding at full wire speed.
