1 INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW The EZ Switch 10/100 SMCFS1601 and SMCFS2401 switches provide 16 or 24 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports. Each port on the switches support auto MDI/MDI-X, which eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. The switches are plug-and-play; any port can be connected to a server, a hub, or a switch, using straight-through or crossover cable. FEATURES ◆ Complies with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.
CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview IEEE 802.1P QOS The SMCFS1601 and SMCFS2401switches support 802.1p priority queuing Quality of Service, which is an implementation of the IEEE 802.1p standard. With the 802.1p QoS function, network traffic that requires high priority, such as VoIP (Voice-over Internet Protocol), web browsing applications or video conferencing, can be forwarded before other traffic. The switches have separate hardware queues for each physical port, when packets are received with an 802.
CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview The SMCFS1601 and SMCFS2401 switches use Weighted Robin Round (WRR) for scheduling. The WRR queue-scheduling algorithm schedules all the queues in turn with every queue assured a certain service time. For both WFQ and WRR mode, the default weight values of TC0, TC1, TC2 and TC3 are 1:2:4:8.

2 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED indicators of the switch. The SMCFS1601 and SMCFS2401 only differ in the number of ports. All figures in this guide are of the SMCFS2401. FRONT PANEL The front panel of SMCFS2401 consists of switch LED indicators, and 24 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ports.
CHAPTER 2 | Hardware Description Rear Panel Table 1: System and Port Status LEDs (Continued) LED Condition Status 100Mbps (SMCFS2401 only) On Green The port is operating at 100 Mbps. Off The port is operating at 10 Mbps. RJ-45 PORTS The switch contains 16/24 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All 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.
CHAPTER 2 | Hardware Description Rear Panel AC POWER SOCKET Connect the female connector of the power cord here, and the male connector to the AC power outlet. Make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the requirement of the input voltage.

3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH Before installing the switch, verify that you have all the items listed under “Package Contents.” If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact your local SMC distributor. Also be sure you have all the necessary tools and cabling before installing the switch.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Precautions PRECAUTIONS To ensure a long-term and stable performance of the switch, pay attention to the following before installation. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS ◆ Before cleaning the switch, disconnect the power supply. Do not clean the switch using a wet cloth, and never use any other liquid for cleaning. ◆ Take waterproof measures during storage, transportation and operation of the equipment. ◆ Use only the power cord provided with the switch.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation ◆ Position the switch away from water and moisture sources, be sure to provide an acceptable temperature and humidity operating environment. INSTALLATION This switch can be either installed in a standard 19-inch mountable rack or located on a desktop. CAUTION: Please unplug the power cord before installing or removing the switch. DESKTOP INSTALLATION To install the switch on the desktop, follow these steps: 1.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation 4. Upturn the switch and set in the desired location, making sure there is enough ventilation space on all sides for proper air flow 5. Connect the switch to a power source with the provided power cord. See “Powering On” on page 25. CAUTION: Avoid placing anything heavy on the switch. RACK INSTALLATION To install the switch in an EIA standard-sized, 19-inch rack, follow the instructions described below: 1.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation 2. Use suitable screws (not provided) to secure the brackets to the rack, as illustrated in the following figure. Figure 6: Mounting the Switch 3. Connect the switch to a power source with the provided power cord. See “Powering On” on page 25. CONNECTING TO GROUND Connecting the switch to ground protects against lightning over-voltage and over-current of the switch, which is also a necessary measure to protect the body from electric shock.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation CONNECTING TO A GROUNDING BAR When the switch is installed in an equipment room, where a grounding bar is available, you are recommended to connect the switch to the grounding bar as shown in the following figure. Figure 7: Connecting to a Grounding Bar 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 0.3A 1 2 3 4 1 Switch (Rear Panel) 3 Ground Cable 2 Grounding Terminal 4 Grounding Bar NOTE: The grounding bar and grounding cable are not provided with the product.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation Figure 8: Connecting to Ground Through the Power Supply 1 100-240 V~ 50/60Hz 0.3A 2 1 Switch (Rear Panel) 2 AC Power Cord (with PE cable) NOTE: The figure illustrates the application and principle. The power plug in the package and the socket in your situation will comply with regulations in your country, so they may differ from the figure above.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Connecting Network Devices CONNECTING NETWORK DEVICES The switches are designed to be connected to 10, or 100 Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. CABLING GUIDELINES The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
A TROUBLESHOOTING DIAGNOSING SWITCH INDICATORS THE POWER LED IS OFF ◆ Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the switch and power source properly. ◆ Make sure the power source is ON. THE LINK/ACT LED IS OFF WHEN A DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO THE CORRESPONDING PORT ◆ Make sure that the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and the device. ◆ Make sure the connected device is turned on and working properly. ◆ The cable must be less than 100 meters long (328 feet).
APPENDIX A | Troubleshooting Installation INSTALLATION Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly.
