Page 4: Introduction
Provide a brief overview of 10GbE networking for customers new to the interface. 10GbE Networking Overview The SM200C operates over a single 10GbE link. Commands and data are sent using a proprietary format over UDP at rates up to 6.4Gb/s. 10GbE is full duplex and can operate over a number of physical channels. - Page 5 SFP+ fiber transceiver standards, some of the most common and the ones recommended by Signal Hound are the 10GBASE-SR, LR, ER, and ZR. Each standard uses a different light wavelength, fiber cable type, and has a different reach (maximum cable length).
- Page 6 The SM200C has an SFP+ interface on the front panel. A cable will be connected from the SM200C to a PC. The two most common ways to connect a 10GbE SFP+ cable to a PC is through a PCIE 10GbE network interface card (NIC) or a Thunderbolt 3 to SFP+ adapter. We provide...
- Page 7 Figure 5: Left to right, Thunderbolt 3 to SFP+ adapter and 2xSFP+ 10GbE NIC adapter card. The SM200C is a network device and thus has a network address that includes a media access control (MAC) address, (internet protocol) IP address, and Port address.

51665. Its purpose is to ensure the data is delieved to the right application on the two network devices (in this case, your PC and the SM200C). The SM200C uses the UDP protocol to transmit information over the network. One of the main factors in determining network speed is the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. MTU refers to the largest packet that can be sent of the network. -

SFP+ adapter. If using an adapter, you have already installed the proper drivers and enabled the thunderbolt device. The SM200C should be powered up and connected to the network interface via provided fiber cable and SFP+ connectors. This section will step you through the three main steps in configuring the 10GbE network interface. - Page 10 Windows 10 Setup Configuration Steps First, you must navigate to the network settings. Start by going to the system settings and select “Network and Internet”.
- Page 11 You should now see the “Network Connections” dialog. You should see your 10GbE network interfaces listed here. When an SM200C is connected powered on and connected, one of the 10GbE interfaces will report “Unidentified network”. Right click that interface and select properties to configure the...
- Page 12 Windows 10 Setup First, we must configure the network adapter settings. In the network interface properties press the “Configure” button. This will bring up the 10GbE adapter settings.
- Page 13 Windows 10 Setup In the adapter properties dialog, select the “Advanced” tab and configure the adapter with the following settings. If any are missing, move on. When finished press OK. Flow Control – Rx & Tx Enabled Interrupt Moderation – Enabled Interrupt Moderation Rate –...

The SM200C should be powered up and connected to the network interface via provided fiber cable and SFP+ connectors. This section will step you through •... - Page 16 Ubuntu 18.04 Setup Find the 10GbE network interface in the list, and create a new profile using the ‘+’ button located to the right of the interface name. Please note the interface name (enp3s0f0 in the picture above) as it will be used in the commands documented here. In the new profile, under the IPv4 tab, set a manual IPv4 address of 192.168.2.2 and netmask of 255.255.255.0.
- Page 17 Ubuntu 18.04 Setup Set the MTU size to 9000 bytes in the Identity tab. Also set a profile name here (if desired).
- Page 18 Next is to configure the read and write socket buffer sizes. The SM200C can keep up to 32MB of UDP traffic in flight at any given time. We will configure the maximum buffer sizes to 50MB. To do this, edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and add the following lines at the end of the file,...
- Page 19 This modification will run the proper ethtool command to modify the ring parameters the next time the network interface is restarted. Restart the computer for all settings to take effect. The SM200C should now be able to be interfaced. 4.1.1 Network Configuration commands The following commands can be used from the terminal to configure the network interface.
- Page 20 Verify the SM200C is connected to the correct network interface, the SM200C power cable is plugged in and the LED is on the SM200C is solid green. The LED should be solid green ~12 seconds after power is applied if a valid network connection is detected.
