CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100 Overview SMC’s TigerSwitch™ 10/100 (SMC6716AL2) contains 16 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX (RJ-45) ports plus two slots on the front panel for slide-in modules (100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-T, or 1000BASE-X (GBIC)). There is also an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board. This agent supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.
ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100 Switch Architecture The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. The Switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity.
DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE Description of Hardware RJ-45 Ports The switch base unit contains 16 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All of these ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments” on page B-2.

ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100 1-10
CHAPTER 2 NETWORK PLANNING Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today's networking technology.
NETWORK PLANNING Application Examples The TigerSwitch 10/100 is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections and linking VLANs. Some typical applications are described below. Collapsed Backbone The TigerSwitch 10/100 is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet and Fast Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES Network Aggregation Plan With 16 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 16 distinct collision domains), this switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 16 segments. In addition, the switch is also connecting servers at 100 Mbps.
NETWORK PLANNING Remote Connection with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 100BASE-FX multimode fiber (MMF) link can run up to 2 km, and a 100BASE-FX single-mode fiber (SMF) link can run as far as 20 km. This allows the switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. The 100BASE-FX (SMF) slide-in module or 1000BASE-ZX GBIC transceiver can be used to interconnect remote network segments.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES Making VLAN Connections This switch supports VLANs which can be used to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This provides a more secure and cleaner network environment. VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly tagged to identify the VLAN group to which it belongs.
NETWORK PLANNING Application Notes 1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. 2. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub. 3.
CHAPTER 3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Selecting a Site TigerSwitch 10/100 units can be mounted in a standard 13-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. ◆ The site should: • be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH Ethernet Cabling To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network: • Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5, 5e, or 6 for 1000BASE-T.
EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST Equipment Checklist After unpacking the TigerSwitch 10/100, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH Connecting to a Power Source To connect a device to a power source: 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the receptacle located at the back of the device. 100-240V~ 50-60Hz 0.8A Figure 3-6 Power Receptacle 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country. 3.
CONNECTING TO THE CONSOLE PORT Connecting to the Console Port The RJ-45 console port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The on-board configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The console port pin assignments and console cable wiring is provided in the table below. See “Cables” on page B-1 for further information on cabling.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH The console port’s configuration requirements are as follows: 3-10 • Default Baud rate—9,600 bps • Character Size—8 Characters • Parity—None • Stop bit—One • Data bits—8
CHAPTER 4 MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connecting Network Devices The TigerSwitch 10/100 is designed to be connected to 10 or 100 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using the optional fiber optic modules. Twisted-Pair Devices Each device requires a shielded or unshielded twisted-pair (STP or UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards. Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches 1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector. Figure 4-1 Making Twisted-Pair Connections 2.
TWISTED-PAIR DEVICES 3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the TigerSwitch) corresponding to each port will light to indicate that the connection is valid. Wiring Closet Connections Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks. It is actually part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections in the wiring closet with this type of equipment follows. 1.
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS 3. Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting.
FIBER OPTIC DEVICES Fiber Optic Devices An optional slide-in 100BASE-FX module or GBIC transceiver can be used for backbone and long distance connections. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an SC connector at both ends. If you need to connect to a device with 62.5/125 micron cable that has ST-type connectors, SMC provides an optional SC-ST Converter (Part Number: 99-012034-091).
MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS 3. Connect one end of the cable to the SC port on the switch and the other end to the SC port on the other device. Since SC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation. 100B ASE- SC fiber connector FX Si ngle-m ode M odule PW R Di ag M1 M2 Figure 4-3 Making SC Port Connections 4. As a connection is made, check the Activity LED on the switch’s front panel for the corresponding module to be sure that the connection is valid.
CONNECTIVITY RULES Connectivity Rules When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. However, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.

APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING Diagnosing Switch Indicators Table A-1 Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Power LED is Off • Internal power supply has failed or is disconnected. • Check connections between the switch, the power cord, the wall outlet. Link LED is Off • Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on. • Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device. • Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified limits.
TROUBLESHOOTING Power and Cooling Problems If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fans on the unit are unobstructed and running prior to shutdown.
APPENDIX B CABLES Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards. For 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, white with green stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
CABLES 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10 Mbps connections or 100-ohm Category 5 cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
TWISTED-PAIR CABLE AND PIN ASSIGNMENTS Straight-Through Wiring If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.

mode (e.g., 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps and half or full duplex) based on the capabilities of the node to which it is connected. Bandwidth The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the data transmission along the cable. Collision A condition in which packets transmitted over the cable interfere with each other. Their interference makes both signals unintelligible. Collision Domain Single CSMA/CD LAN segment.
Fast Ethernet Switch Device that provides a full 100 Mbps bandwidth (or either 10 or 100 Mbps bandwidth with Auto-Negotiation) to each port (LAN segment). Full Duplex Transmission method that allows switch and network card to transmit and receive concurrently, effectively doubling the bandwidth of that link. Gigabit Ethernet A 1000 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD access method. IEEE 802.
Separate LAN or collision domain. LED Light emitting diode used for monitoring a device or network condition. Link Segment Length of twisted-pair or fiber cable joining a pair of repeaters or a repeater and a PC. Local Area Network (LAN) A group of interconnected computer and support devices. Media Access Control (MAC) A portion of the networking protocol that governs access to the transmission medium, facilitating the exchange of data between network nodes. MIB An acronym for Management Information Base.
any device having a crossover port. Also referred to as a “Daisy-Chain” port. Switched Ports Ports that are on separate collision domains or LAN segments. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Protocol suite that includes TCP as the primary transport protocol, and IP as the network layer protocol. UTP Unshielded twisted-pair cable.
