1   Product Overview 
Live-GSH5T Gigabit Ethernet Switch
 
Pressure Flow Control to stall the incoming data when port buffers are saturated.  With this flow 
control mechanism, it can be ensured that frames dropped during transmission are reduced to a 
minimum. 
 
Non-blocking Wire Speed 
 
Live-GSH5T’s  non-blocking cross-bar matrix architecture provides high-end performance for 
departmental and workgroup environments at a fraction of the cost of similar devices. Typically, 
this type of architecture was found only in high-end switches designed to handle huge corporate 
networks. With bandwidth needs and network efficiency concerns, Live-GSH5T’s switching fabric 
design is the perfect answer for solution. 
 
 
 
System/Port Status Information at a Glance 
 
There are 2 sets of LEDs on the front panel: System LED and Station port LEDs,. The System LEDs 
consist of the Power LED, the BCST(Broadcast Storm Control)/Diag and OvUn_Flow LED.   
The station LEDs consist of the 10M Link/Act, 100M Link/Act, 1000M Link/Act  
 
 
 
What’s Broadcast Storm Control 
 
Broadcast Storm is the result of too much broadcast traffic in the network.  Broadcast packets are 
sent to every stations in the network, thus increase the overall network traffic.  Broadcast storm are 
likely to decrease the network performance significantly.  Broadcast Storm occurs usually when 
there is a loop formed in the network or when a particular application creates unordinary amount of 
broadcast packets.  The Live-GSH5T has built-in broadcast storm control which filter out the 
broadcast traffic when it exceeds 5% of total traffic. 
 
 
Solution for the digital media age 
 
 
In the age of digital media, the computer has become the storage center for DV, DVD video, and 
digital pictures.  Furthermore, the majority of the worldwide TV format will turn to HDTV and other 
digital standard in the next few years.  The demand for faster network will increase dramatically.  
Gigabit Ethernet will make playing DVD quality video over the network a reality.  In addition, copy 
Gigabytes of data over network will no longer be a time consuming process.   With the Live Series 
Gigabit Ethernet switch, building a network capable of fast large file sharing and real time play back 
of high quality audio/video is simple and affordable. 
 
 
Why Copper-wired Gigabit Connection? 
 
With the tremendous success of Ethernet in LAN, twisted-pair cable has become the most 
ubiquitous networking media all over the world. It also costs less than the fiber-optic cable. Thus, it 
is very convenient to choose a copper-wired gigabit switch such as Live-GSH5T, since you can 
easily set up a gigabit backbone using the kind of twisted-pair cable so ordinarily used in 
10/100BASE-TX environment.
