    INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW The SM10P Switch is an affordable managed switch that provides a reliable infrastructure for your business network. This switch delivers more intelligent features you need to improve the availability of your critical business applications, protect your sensitive information, and optimize your network bandwidth to deliver information and applications more effectively.

  • Page 9 SWITCH The switch performs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. ARCHITECTURE 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. This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data integrity.
  • Page 10: Description Of Hardware

    SFP TRANSCEIVER SLOTS SM10P supports the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver. The slots are shared with RJ-45 port 9 to 10. In the default configuration, if an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled.
  • Page 11 PORT AND The SM10P switch includes a display panel for system and port indications that simplify installation network SYSTEM STATUS troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on the front panel LEDS for easy viewing. Details are shown below and described in the following tables.
  • Page 12: Network Planning

    A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet network to significantly increase bandwidth while using conventional cabling and network cards. APPLICATION The SM10P Switch implements 8 Gigabit Ethernet TP ports with EXAMPLES auto MDIX and 2 slots for the removable SFP module (SM10P)

    MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS CONNECTING The switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100 or 1000Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as NETWORK to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to DEVICES remote devices using optional SFP transceivers. Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) TWISTED-PAIR cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
  • Page 25: Troubleshooting

    Step2. If the device is a network card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See the section “Network Wiring Connections.”) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.

    FIBER OPTIC An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver can be used for a backbone connection between switches, SFP DEVICES connecting to a high-speed server. Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.

(Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software.

    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.
  • Page 33: Cables

    CABLES TWISTED-PAIR For 10/100BASE-TX connections, the twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the CABLE AND PIN twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is ASSIGNMENTS identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes.
