Overview SMC’s TigerSwitch™ 10/100, SMC6709FL2, is an intelligent standalone Fast Ethernet switch with 8 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Mbps ports and 1 100BASE-FX multi-mode port. 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.
The TigerSwitch 10/100 employs 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.
100BASE-FX MMF Port There is one fixed 100BASE-FX MMF fiber port on the switch’s front panel. The fiber connector is SC multi-mode. The distance for fiber cabling can be extended to up to two kilometers.

For Ethernet, there may be up to four hubs between any pair of stations; for Fast Ethernet, the maximum is two. This is known as the 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.
When the time comes for further expansion, just cascade the TigerSwitch 10/100 to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub or switch. In the figure below, the TigerSwitch 10/100 is operating as a collapsed backbone for a small LAN. It is providing dedicated 20 Mbps full-duplex connections to workstations and 200 Mbps full-duplex connections to power users and servers.

VLAN group it belongs to. When using port-based VLANs, ports can either be assigned to one specific group or to all groups. Port-based VLANs are suitable for small networks. A single switch can be easily configured to support several VLAN groups for various organizational entities (such as Finance and Marketing).
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. However, note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.
When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. 2. When a switch is connected to a hub or any kind of shared media, remember to turn off back pressure to prevent jamming packets from being propagated throughout the hub.
NSTALLING THE Selecting a Site TigerSwitch 10/100 units can be mounted on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. The site should: • be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.

Mounting Desktop or Shelf Mounting 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch. Figure 3-1. Attaching the Adhesive Feet 2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow.

NSTALLING THE WITCH receptacle located at the back of the device. 2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country.
Connecting Network Devices The TigerSwitch 10/100 is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains). It may be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. Note: Before connecting cables, you may want to first configure the Spanning Tree Protocol to avoid network loops.
AKING ETWORK Cabling Guidelines The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs). See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
SC connector at both ends. If you need to connect to a device with 62.5/125 micron cable that has ST-type connectors, SMC provides an optional SC-ST Converter (Part Number: 99-012034-091). Caution: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable.
Page 34
AKING ETWORK 3. Connect one end of the cable to the SC port on the switch and the other end to the SC port on the other device. Since SC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.
Contact SMC Tech Support. • Verify that the switch and attached device are powered • Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device. • Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified limits.
62.5/125 micron 50/125 micron MMF Note: If you need to connect to a device with 62.5/125 micron cable that has ST-type connectors, SMC provides an optional SC-ST Converter (Part Number: 99-012034-091). Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.
ABLES For 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be red and the other, red with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable. Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific orientation.
1: The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair. 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. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the cable.
ABLES Console Port Pin Assignments The DB-9 serial port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The on-board menu-driven configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program.
