1. Introduction  
LevelOne GSW-2493, 4-slot intelligent chassis switch, is a modular switch that can be  
used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a  
store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The Switch  
is targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing environment.  
The GSW-2493 features a “store-and-forward “ switching scheme. This allows the  
switch to auto-learn and store source address in an 8K-entry MAC address table.  
(Medium Dependent Interface) Port is also called an "uplink port". The MDI port  
MDI  
does not cross transmit and receive lines, which is done by the regular ports (MDI  
-X  
means connecting to another Hub  
ports) that connect to end stations. In general,  
MDI  
or Switch while  
means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore,  
MDIX  
Auto  
means that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without  
MDI/MDIX  
changing non-crossover or crossover cabling.  
The GSW-2493 has 4-module slot. User can accord their needs to purchase the  
modules. This can give elasticity on network application.

Ethernet Switching Technology  
Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network,  
eliminated congestion problems inherent with CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense multiple  
access with Collision Detection) protocol, and greatly reduced unnecessary  
transmissions.  
This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous transmissions  
over the same port (Full-duplex), which essentially doubled the bandwidth. Second, by  
reducing the collision domain to a single switch-port, which eliminated the need for  
carrier sensing. Third, by using the store-and-forward technology’s approach of  
inspecting each packet to intercept corrupt or redundant data, switching eliminated  
unnecessary transmission that slow the network. By employing address learning,  
which replaced the inefficient receiving port.  
Auto-negotiation regulates the speed and duplex of each port, based on the capability  
of both devices. Flow-control allows transmission from a 100Mbps node to a 10Mbps  
node without loss of data. Auto-negotiation and flow-control may require disablement  
for some networking operations involves legacy equipment. Disabling the  
auto-negotiation is accomplished by fixing the speed or duplex of a port.  
Ethernet Switching Technology supplied higher performance at costs lower than other  
solutions. Wider bandwidth, no congestion, and the reduction in traffic is why switching  
is replacing expensive routers and inefficient hubs as the ultimate networking solution.  
Switching brought a whole new way of thinking to networking.

One module slot, 3-pronged power plug, 2 fans, power switching, and one console port  
is located at the rear Panel of the GSW-2493 as shown in Figure 2-1. The Switch will  
work with AC power in the range of 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.  
Figure 2-1. The Rear Panel of the GSW-2493  
Desktop Installation  
Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface  
where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy. Make sure there  
is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and  
allow air circulation.

Attaching Rubber Feet  
A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and dust free.  
B. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.  
C. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These footpads  
can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.  
Rack-mounted Installation  
The GSW-2493 come with a rack-mounted kit and can be mounted in an EIA standard  
size, 19-inch Rack. The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment.  
Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch:  
A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it  
with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other  
side of the Switch.  
B. After attached both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up  
the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the Switch  
to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws.  
For proper ventilation, allow about at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on  
Note:  
the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the Switch. This is especially  
important for enclosed rack installation.  
Power On  
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the Switch. The other  
side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The internal power supply of the  
Switch works with voltage range of AC in the 100-240VAC, frequency 50~60Hz. Check  
the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.

3. Network Application  
GSW-2493 is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its large address table (8000  
MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking  
segments.  
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with  
GSW-2493. The switch automatically learns nodes address, which are subsequently  
used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.  
By using Gigabit, Gigabit Fiber, or Ethernet Fiber port, the Switch can connect with  
another switch or hub to interconnect other small-switched workgroups to form a larger  
switched network. Meanwhile, you can also use Ethernet or Gigabit fiber ports to  
connect switches.  
Stacking Workgroup  
With stackable technology can unites up to eight individual stackable switches into a  
single logical unit, using cables and with stacking software supported. The stack  
behaves as a single switching unit that is managed by a master switch elected from  
one of the member switches. The master switch automatically creates and updates all  
the switching tables. A working stack can accept new members or delete old ones  
without service interruption  
Each switch in the stack has the capability to behave as a master or subordinate in the  
hierarchy. The master switch is elected and serves as the control center for the stack.  
The subordinates act as forwarding processors. Each switch is assigned to a one  
workgroup ID. Up to eight separate switches can be joined together as a workgroup.  
The stack can have switches added and removed without affecting stack performance.  
There are no special tools, extra software, or expensive equipment needed to form a  
Stacking workgroup. It provides single image management for entire Stack (fewer

devices to manage); management applications represent the Stack as a single device,  
and simple point and click management. Stackable technology allows you to increase  
the resiliency and the versatility of your network edge to accommodate evolution for  
speed and converged applications. Following figures are example of stacking  
workgroup application.

Connecting to the Switch  
The Console port is a female DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a PC or  
terminal for monitoring and configuring the Switch. Use the supplied RS-232 cable with  
a male DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or PC to the Console port.  
The Console configuration (out of band) allows you to set Switch for remote terminal as  
if the console terminal were directly connected to it.

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet  
Protocol (IP) suite. IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts  
that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows the ports to detect IGMP queries and report  
packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch. IGMP have three  
fundamental types of message as follows:  
Message  
Query  
Description  
A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) asking for a  
response from each host belonging to the multicast group.  
A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host  
wants to be or is a member of a given group indicated in the report  
message.

VLAN configuration  
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It  
allows you to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from  
the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically  
equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.  
However, all the network devices are still plug into the same switch physically.  
The switch supports port-based, 802.1Q (tagged-based) and protocol-base VLAN in  
web management page. In the default configuration, VLAN support is “disable”.

Port-based VLAN  
Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected  
ports are treated as belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled,  
the VLAN-tagging is ignored.  
If an end station sends packets to different VLANs, it has to be either capable of  
tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware bridge that is  
capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID based on not only  
default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol.

802.1Q VLAN  
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, it is  
possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q  
VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN  
Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.  
You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol. There are  
256 VLAN groups to provide configure. Enable 802.1Q VLAN, the all ports on the  
switch belong to default VLAN, VID is 1. The default VLAN can’t be deleting.  
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the  
switch is connected to a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a GVRP request  
using the VID of a VLAN defined on the switch; the switch will automatically add that  
device to the existing VLAN.

IP Stacking  
This function allows switch to stack up to 8 stackable switches as a unit group. When  
configuring the stacking function, beware the following points.  
Any port on the switch can be used to stack.  
Before configuring the stacking function, make sure all stack switches are in the  
same network.  
When configure stacking function, must configure the master switch first.  
After stacking group has set up, all slave switches are configured through master  
switch. You still can direct access to slave switch, but all functions are read and  
view only.  
To remove the switch from stacking group, you must remove the salve switch first.  
When all slave switches are removed, and then you can remove the master switch  
from stacking group. If you remove the master switch before slave switch, go to  
slave switches one by one and use console configuration to re-configure the  
switch configuration or you re-configure one of the slave switched as the master  
by console interface.

Disable: it means the switch doesn’t belong to any stacking group or stacking  
function is disabling.  
Master: it means the switch is the leader (master) in the stacking group. The  
master switch can control all the slave switches in stacking group.  
Slave: it means the switch is a slave switch of the stacking group. To  
configure the slave switch that you must access by the master switch.

6. Troubleshooting  
This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the  
GSW-2493.  
Incorrect connections  
The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when you link switch with  
other Ethernet device. For the RJ-45 connector should use correct UTP or STP cable,  
10/100Mbps port use 2 pairs twisted cable and Gigabit 1000T port use 4 pairs twisted  
cable. If the RJ-45 connector is not correct pin on right position then the link will fail.  
For fiber connection, please notice that fiber cable mode and fiber module should be  
match.  
Faulty or loose cables  
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure the  
connections are snug. IF that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.  
Non-standard cables  
Non-standard and miss-wired cables may cause numerous network collisions and  
other network problem, and can seriously impair network performance. A category 5  
cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-T network installation.  
Improper Network Topologies  
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. Common topology  
faults include excessive cable length and too many repeaters (hubs) between end  
nodes. In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains no data  
path loops. Between any two ends nodes, there should be only one active cabling path  
104

at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your  
network performance.  
Diagnosing LED Indicators  
The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying  
problems, which describes common problems you may encounter and where you can  
find possible solutions.  
IF the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a  
problem with power outlet, or power cord. However, if the Switch powers off after  
running for a while check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at  
power outlet. IF you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for  
assistance.  
Cabling  
use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair ( STP ) cable for  
RJ-45 ports:  
Ω
Ω
Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or 100  
RJ-45 connections: 100  
Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any  
twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Gigabit port should  
use Cat-5 or cat-5e cable for 1000Mbps connections. The length does not exceed 100  
meters.
