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 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Switch provides 48 10/100Base-TX ports respectively with 2
10/100/1000Base-T ports and 2-SFP Mimi-GBIC interfaces. With a 17.6Gbps internal switching fabric, 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 a 4K MAC Address table and provides a 1536KBytes frame buffer. The FGSW-4840S offers wire-speed
packet transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of these devices make them ideal for
most Gigabit environments, especially network upgrades to a Gigabit environment.
The additional Web Switch utility allows access Web interface of FGSW-4840S. Smart function such as per port speed,
duplex, flow-control and QoS settings, Trunking , port-based VLAN.
2.1.1 Product Overview
PLANET FGSW-4840S is a Web Smart Gigabit 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 products 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 4K different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding at full wire speed.

Note:
To press and release the RESET button. The FGSW-4840S will back to the factory default
mode. Be sure that you backup the current configuration of FGSW-4840S; else the entire
configuration will be erased when pressing the “RESET” button.
