In the following section, the term “Gigabit Ethernet Switch”
means the GSD-805.
2.1 Product Description
The PLANET GSD-805 is 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet Switch with non-blocking wire-speed performance and
new metal shape for easily desktop deployment in compact
housing or SOHO application.
With a 16Gbps internal switching fabric, the Gigabit Ethernet
Switch can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure
topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.
The Gigabit Ethernet Switch has 4K MAC Address table and
offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without risk of
packet loss. The Gigabit ports with 9K jumbo packet support
can handle large amounts of data transmission in a secure
topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers. The
high data throughput of the device makes it ideal for most
Gigabit environments, especially network upgrades to a Gigabit
environment.
All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-
Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category
6, 5 or 5e cables. Support standard for Auto-MDI/MDI-X that
can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without
requiring special straight or crossover cables.
The Flow Control function allows Gigabit Ethernet Switch
