Placement options

Place the GigaX1016 Switch on a flat and stable surface. Make sure the 

location meets the operating environment specifications. See page 6 for 

details.

NOTE:

 The maximum cable length of UTP Category 5 is 100 meters 

(328 feet).

Connecting network devices

Follow these steps to connect network devices to the GigaX1016 Switch:

1.  Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the Switch 

front panel. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port of the network 

device. Repeat this step to connect additional network devices.

2.  Plug one end of the power cable to the power connector on the Switch 

rear panel, then plug the other end to an electrical outlet.

3.  The Power LED and LED indicators for active Ethernet ports light up to 

indicate that the device is on and in use. Refer to the LED table in page 

3 for indications.

Network Application

This section provides GigaX1016 network topology examples. 

Small Workgroup 

The GigaX1016 Switch can be used as a standalone switch to connect 

PCs, servers, or printers and form a small workgroup.

Segment Bridge 

GigaX1016 also provides ideal network solution for big enterprises. Using 

the Uplink port, you can link workgroup networks to the core switch to get 

a bigger switched network.

Class of Service

2 Queues Per port for IEEE 802.1p QoS

Supports IEEE802.1Q VLAN tag-based priority

Recognizes 3 bits of precedence carried by the 

VLAN tag and maps it to the specified priority 

queue. Packets with precedence value of 0~3 

flows to low queue while those with value of 4~7  

flows to high queue 

Supports weighted round robin for high and low 

queue transmission, with a rotation rate of 4:1 (4 

high queue packets then 1 low queue packet).

[Note]

 The CoS function is included in the Switch 

firmware, and is not user-configurable. It operates 

automatically when the Switch is working
