USER’S MANUAL
1. Introduction
Gigabit Ethernet over copper technology is a proven cost-effective way for
network equipment to be upgraded from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit speeds.
The need of expensive fiber optic cabling for Gigabit speeds is eliminated by
using standard 4-pair Category 5e copper cabling. This technology creates
high-speed backbone connections between switches, servers, databases,
and workstations.
The DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch is an ideal solution for solving
traffic congestion at the core of the network. It offers auto-negotiation
10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports that can significantly improve
your network backbone performance. It will also fit into any enterprise level
network as an exit to the backbone switch. The DynaGST/1602G provides
two mini GBIC Gigabit slots for Gigabit speed network connection.
The DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch features Auto MDI/MDIX
function for each port and features a store-and-forward switching. It auto-
learns and stores source address on a 4K MAC address table.

2. Hardware Description
This Section describes the hardware of the DynaGST/1602G Gigabit
Ethernet switch.
The physical dimensions of the DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch is:
440 x 224 x 44 mm (W x D x H)
Front Panel
The Front Panel of the DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch consists of
sixteen (16) auto-negotiation 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 connectors
(with Automatic MDI/MDIX support), two Mini GBIC slots, and LED
indicators (1000, Link/Activity, Full duplex/Collision) for each Gigabit port
and power for the unit.
Figure 2-1. The Front Panel of the DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch
ꢀ RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): Sixteen (16) auto-negotiation
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 connectors
[Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another switch or
workstation with either straight-through or crossover cabling.]
ꢀ
Mini GBIC ports: Ports 15 and 16 auto-detect between the Gigabit
copper ports and the Mini GBIC (Gigabit fiber) ports. They support 3.3V
Mini SFP GBIC modules. These modules are optional. There are two
LED indicators for the Mini GBIC ports – LNK and ACT. If a Mini GBIC
module is not installed, ports 15 and 16 operate in Gigabit copper mode
only.
4
[Note] When the Mini GBIC module is installed, the Mini GBIC (Gigabit fiber)
ports have higher priority than the Gigabit copper ports and supercede them.
It doesn’t matter if the Gigabit copper port is connected before or after the
Mini GBIC port is connected. The Mini GBIC port always has higher priority
for connection. When the Mini GBIC port is connected, the Gigabit copper
ports are disabled.
Rear Panel
The 3-pronged power plug, on/off switch, and Ventilation fan are located at
the rear Panel of the DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch as shown in
Figure 2-2. The Switch will work with AC in the range 100-240V AC, 50-
60Hz.

LED Indicators
The LED Indicators give a real-time indication of system operating status.
There are three LED-indicators (1000, LNK/ACT, FDX/COL) for each Gigabit
port and one Power LED for the entire unit. The following table provides
descriptions of LED status.

3. Installation
Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby.
The surface should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy. Ensure there is
enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation and the
attachment of the power cord and cables.
Attaching Rubber Feet
ꢀ
Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and
dust free.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.
Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch.
These footpads protect the Switch from shock and vibration.
Power On
Connect the power adapter cable to the power socket on the rear panel of
the Switch. The other end of the power cord connects to the power outlet.
Check the power indicator on the front panel to make sure if power is
properly supplied.

4. Network Application
This section provides you a sample of network topology in which the
DynaGST/1602G is used. In general, the DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet
switch is designed as a high-bandwidth backbone switch.
You can use the DynaGST/1602G to connect servers, switches,
workstations, and PCs to each other by connecting these devices directly to
the Switch. The Switch automatically learns node address, which are
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination
address. The Gigabit fiber port is designed to connect the Ethernet network
with a fiber network.
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly
processed, this switch is an ideal link between departmental switches and
the core switch. All workstations can connect to departmental switches and
those switches are then connected to the DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet
switch. Now all the devices in this network can communicate with each
other. Connecting servers to the core switch is important because it allows
each workstation to access the server’s data.
This switch is a perfect for backbone connectivity.

5. Troubleshooting
The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in
identifying problems. This section describes common problems you may
encounter and where you can find possible solutions.
ꢀ
Diagnosing LED Indicator
If the Link indicator does not light up after connection, check whether the
network interface (e.g., a network adapter card on the attached device),
network cable, or switch port is defective. Verify that the switch and attached
device are powered on. Ensure the cable is plugged into both the switch and
corresponding device. Verify the proper cable type is used and its length
does not exceed specified limits.
ꢀ
Power
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, local
power losses, or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the
problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.
ꢀ
Transmission Mode
Each port will automatically set to the same transmission mode used by the
attached device (i.e., half or full duplex). The RJ-45 ports use auto-
negotiation to set the transmission mode. If the attached device does not
support auto-negotiation then this switch will default to the lowest common
speed.
10
ꢀ
Cabling
RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100m. of Category 3,4 or 5 cable for
10Mbps connections, 100m. of Category 5e cable for 100Mbps connections,
or 100m. of 4-pair Category 5e copper cabling for 1000Mbps connection.
Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed
100 meters (328 feet).
