Page 13: Warnings And Cautionary Messages
Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on. -

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. These switches provide a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2 switching, delivering reliability and consistent performance for your network traffic. -
Page 24: Switch Architecture
The switches employ 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 switches use store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. -
Page 25: Management Options
10/100/1000BASE-T Ports These ports are RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. -
Page 26: Sfp Slots
Up to eight SMC8724M or SMC8748M switches can be connected together using optional stacking cables. Note that the 24-port and 48-port switches can be mixed in the same stack. The Stack Master button enables one switch in the stack to be selected as the Master. -
Page 27: Status Leds
Status LEDs The switch base unit also includes a display panel for key system and port indications that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the following table. -

Page 33: Network Planning
When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the distance between end stations is limited by a maximum hop count. However, a switch turns the hop count back to zero. So subdividing the network into smaller and more manageable segments, and linking them to the larger network by means of a switch, removes this limitation. -
Page 34: Application Examples
When the time comes for further expansion, just connect to another hub or switch using one of the Gigabit Ethernet ports built into the front panel or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver. -
Page 35: Network Aggregation Plan
Network Aggregation Plan With 24 or 48 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 or 48 distinct collision domains), either of the switches can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports in a stack of 48-port switches are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity through stackable switches. -
Page 36: Remote Connections With Fiber Cable
A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-ZX link up to 100 km. This allows a switch stack to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. -
Page 37: Making Vlan Connections
VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly tagged to identify the VLAN group to which it belongs. Untagged VLANs can be used for small networks attached to a single switch. However, tagged VLANs should be used for larger networks, and all the VLANs assigned to the inter-switch links. -
Page 38: 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. -

5. Select the Master unit in the stack by pressing the push button in on only one of the switches. Only one switch in the stack can operate as the Master, all other units operate in slave mode. If more than one switch in the stack is selected as Master, or if no switches are selected, the system will select the unit with lowest MAC address as the Master. -

Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. -

1000 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). The RJ-45 ports on the switch base unit 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. -
Page 65: Crossover Wiring
“X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (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.) -

ABLES 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments All 1000BASE-T 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. The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts. These ports require that all four pairs of wires be connected. - Page 67 WISTED ABLE AND SSIGNMENTS 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.
