1 INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW The SMCGS1601 and SMCGS2401switches provide you with a highperformance, low-cost, ease-of-use, seamless, and standard upgrade that boosts your old network to 1000 Mbps. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone connections make Gigabit a reality. Power users in the home, office, workgroup, or creative production environment, can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster.
CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview ◆ Supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode and backpressure for half-duplex transfer mode. ◆ Non-blocking switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. ◆ Supports MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging. ◆ The SMCGS1601 supports IEEE P802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet, which can save up to 49% of power consumption.
CHAPTER 1 | Introduction Overview There are four priority levels labeled TC0, TC1, TC2 and TC3. The untagged packets and the eight IEEE 802.1p priority tags (defined by the standard) are mapped to the four priority queues on the switch. TC3 has the highest priority of the four priority queues while TC0 has the lowest priority. The untagged packets and eight priority tags, specified in IEEE 802.

2 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the switch. The SMCGS1601 and SMCGS2401 only differ in the number of ports, and all figures in this guide are of the SMCGS2401. FRONT PANEL The front panel of SMCGS2401 consists of switch LED indicators, and 24 10/100/ 1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports.
CHAPTER 2 | Hardware Description Rear Panel Table 1: System and Port Status LEDs (Continued) LED Condition Status 1000Mbps On Green The port is operating at 1000 Mbps. Off The port is operating at 10 or 100 Mbps. RJ-45 PORTS The switch contains 16/24 1000BASE-T 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 the 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 on the 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 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. Secure the supplied rack-mounting brackets to each side of the switch with supplied screws, as illustrated in the following figure. Figure 5: Attaching Brackets 2.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation 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. In different environments, the switch may be grounded differently.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Installation CONNECTING TO A GROUNDING BAR If the switch is installed in an equipment room, where a grounding bar is available. You are recommended to connect the switch to a grounding bar as shown in the following figure. Figure 7: Connecting to a 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 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. NOTE: If you intend to connect the switch to ground through the PE (Protective Earth) wire of the AC power cord, make sure the PE wire in the electrical outlet is well grounded in advance.
CHAPTER 3 | Installing the Switch Connecting Network Devices CONNECTING NETWORK DEVICES The switches are designed to be connected to 10, 100, or 1000 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.
