    ABOUT THE EZ Switch 10/100 The EZSwitch 10/100 SMC108DT is an 8-port Fast Ethernet switch. The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports deliver dedicated 10/100Mbps links to each attached LAN segment – all with conventional cabling and adapters. Auto-Negotiation is used to select the optimal communication mode for each connection.
  • Page 10: Top Panel Leds

    Top Panel LEDs The top panel of the switch provides a link status LED for each RJ-45 PORT. In addition, the front panel also contains status LEDs for ‘at-a- glance’ system monitoring. The following table details the functions of the various kinds of indicators:...
  • Page 11 Flashing Flashing Rear Panel The AC power socket and the 8 RJ-45 connectors are located on the rear panel of the switch. Traffic is passing through the port The port has not estab- lished any network con- nection. The port is in full-duplex mode.

    SAMPLE APPLICATIONS Some typical applications for the EZ Switch 10/100 are illustrated below: Standalone LAN In the figure below, the EZSwitch 10/100 is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 10Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations and 200Mbps full-duplex connections to power users and servers.
  • Page 15: Troubleshooting

    Switch port, network card or cable may be defective. Possible Solutions . Check that the switch and attached device are both powered . Be sure the network cable is connected to both devices . Verify that Category 5 cable is used for 100Mbps connections and that the length of any cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

    The ‘+’ and ‘-‘ signs in the table below are used to represent the polari- ty of the wires that make up each wire pair. Because all ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X opera- tion, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.
