Lantronix SM4T4DPA Install Guide Hardware Description Switch Architecture The switch provides a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This allows wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
Port and System Status LEDS The SM4T4DPA switch includes a display panel for system and port indications that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on left hand side of the front panel for easy viewing. Details are shown below and described in the following tables.
Lantronix SM4T4DPA Install Guide Network Planning Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets; it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. Thus the switch has been recognized as one of the most important device for today’s networking technology.

Lantronix SM4T4DPA Install Guide Installing the switch in a Rack Step 3. If installing a single switch only, turn to “Connection to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter. Step4. If installing multiple switches, mount them in the rack, one below the other, in any order.
Lantronix SM4T4DPA Install Guide Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver You can install or remove a mini-GBIC SFP from a mini-GBIC slot without having to power off the switch. Note: The SFP ports operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is not supported.
Lantronix SM4T4DPA Install Guide Connecting to the Console Port The RJ-45 serial port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The command-line-driven configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program.

Lantronix SM4T4DPA Install Guide Making Fiber Port Connections Step 4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid. The fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps. The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision...
Because the SM4T4DPA behave in this way (in compliance with the IEEE802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communications between the switch and the device.

Lantronix SM4T4DPA Install Guide Power and Cooling Problems Installation: If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet.
Lantronix SM4T4DPA Install Guide Cables Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, the 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.

Lantronix SM4T4DPA Install Guide Straight-Thru Wiring If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-through. (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.)

Lantronix SM4T4DPA Install Guide 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.
