Getting to Know the GS-3012
This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of the GS-3012.
1.1 Introduction
The GS-3012 is a layer 2 stand-alone Gigabit Ethernet switch with 12 10/100/1000Mbps ports, four mini GBIC
slots for optical uplinking and one console port and RJ-45 port for local management.
With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the switch is easy. From cabinet management to port-
level control and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your network via the web browser. Just click
your mouse instead of typing cryptic command strings. In addition, the switch can also be managed via Telnet, the
console port, or third-party SNMP management.
1.2 Features
The next two sections describe the hardware and firmware features of the GS-3012.
1.2.1 Hardware Features
Power
The GS-3012 DC model requires DC power supply input of -48 VDC to -60 VDC, 1.84A Max. The GS-3012 AC
model requires 100~240VAC/1.5A power.
12 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ports (with four paired with the mini GBIC ports)
Connect up to 12 computers or switches directly to the 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiating, automatic cable sensing
(auto-MDIX) Gigabit ports. All ports support:
IEEE 802.3/3u/3z/3ab standards
Back pressure flow control in half duplex mode
IEEE 802.3x flow control in full duplex mode
Four Mini GBIC Slots
These are slots for mini GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceiver. These allow the GS-3012 to connect to
another WAN switch or daisy-chain to other switches.
Console Port
Use the console port for local management of the switch.
