NTRODUCTION VERVIEW The EZ Switch 10/100 SMCFS1601 and SMCFS2401 switches provide 16 or 24 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports. Each port on the switches support auto MDI/MDI-X, which eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. The switches are plug-and-play; any port can be connected to a server, a hub, or a switch, using straight-through or crossover cable.
HAPTER Overview IEEE 802.1 The SMCFS1601 and SMCFS2401switches support 802.1p priority queuing Quality of Service, which is an implementation of the IEEE 802.1p standard. With the 802.1p QoS function, network traffic that requires high priority, such as VoIP (Voice-over Internet Protocol), web browsing applications or video conferencing, can be forwarded before other traffic.

| Introduction HAPTER Overview The SMCFS1601 and SMCFS2401 switches use Weighted Robin Round (WRR) for scheduling. The WRR queue-scheduling algorithm schedules all the queues in turn with every queue assured a certain service time. For both WFQ and WRR mode, the default weight values of TC0, TC1, TC2 and TC3 are 1:2:4:8.
ARDWARE ESCRIPTION This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED indicators of the switch. The SMCFS1601 and SMCFS2401 only differ in the number of ports. All figures in this guide are of the SMCFS2401. RONT ANEL The front panel of SMCFS2401 consists of switch LED indicators, and 24 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ports.
| Hardware Description HAPTER Rear Panel Table 1: System and Port Status LEDs (Continued) Condition Status 100Mbps On Green The port is operating at 100 Mbps. (SMCFS2401 only) The port is operating at 10 Mbps. RJ-45 P ORTS The switch contains 16/24 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All 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.
