Introduction This manual describes how to install and use EZSwitch 10/100. SMC-EZNET-16SW features 16 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation ports, providing the flexibility required for easy network expansion. The EZSwitch can be used to connect PCs, servers, hubs, bridges, other switches and routers. It can also act as a bridge between 10Mbps and 100Mbps network segments. The EZSwitch supports either 10Mbps or 100Mbps in speed, with dedicated bandwidth in each port.
Quick Installation Guide Installing the Switch Before installing the EZ Switch 10/100, please verify that you have all the items listed under “Package Contents”. Also be sure you have all the necessary tools and cabling before installing the switch. Package Contents • 16-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch • Four rubber foot pads • This User’s Manual • AC power cord • Rack mount bracket kit Description of Hardware The base unit contains 16 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX ports.
Installing the Switch Mounting the Switch The EZ Switch 10/100 can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack. Before you start installing the switch, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. Verify the following installation requirements: • Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%) at 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz).
Quick Installation Guide Connecting the Switch System The EZ Switch 10/100 provides 16 RJ-45 ports on the base unit. Each of these ports supports connection to 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, and supports full or half-duplex operation. The transmission speed for each port is automatically set by the switch to match the highest speed supported by the connected device. The transmission mode can be set for each port using auto-negotiation.
Installing the Switch Powering On the Switch 1. 2. 3. Plug the power cord into the power socket on the rear of the switch, and the other end into a power outlet. Check the LED marked Power on the front panel to see if it is on. The unit will automatically select the setting that matches the connected input voltage. Therefore, no additional adjustments are necessary when connecting it to any input voltage within the range marked on the rear panel. The switch performs a self-diagnostic test upon power-on.
Quick Installation Guide Verifying System Operation Verify that all attached devices have a valid connection. The switch monitors the link status for each port. If any device is properly connected to the switch and transmitting a link beat signal, the Link indicator will light up for the corresponding port.

Quick Installation Guide Troubleshooting Diagnosing Switch Indicators The EZ Switch 10/100 can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist the network manager in identifying problems. This section describes common problems you may encounter and possible solutions. Symptom:Link indicator does not light up (green) after making a connection. Cause: Network interface (e.g., a network adapter card on the attached device), network cable, or switch port is defective.
Port and Cable Assignments Port and Cable Assignments RJ-45 Port Description RJ-45 station ports (all port) can be attached to any devices which use a standard network interface (e.g., a workstation, server, bridge or router). RJ-45 daisy-chain ports (all port) can be cascaded to a station port on similar networking devices (e.g., another switch or hub).
