How to use

Install the GWN7802 in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a stable surface. Connect power and attach uplink or distribution links to the SFP ports and end devices to the RJ-45 ports. Use the switch's management interface or connect it to GWN.Cloud or GWN Manager for configuration of VLANs, QoS, link aggregation and other Layer 2+ features. Follow standard network wiring and grounding practices when integrating into an existing infrastructure.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, place the switch in a ventilated rack space, ensure firmware is kept up to date, and plan VLAN and QoS settings according to your traffic requirements. Use SFP modules compatible with the switch and verify PoE requirements of attached devices if using IEEE 802.3at capable equipment.
