INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The SM10P Switch is an af fordable m anaged switch t hat
provides a reliable infrastructure for your business network.
This switch delivers more intelligent features you need to
improve the availability of your critical business applicatio ns,
protect your sensitive information, and optimize your network
bandwidth to deliver information and applications more
effectively. Easy to set up and use, it provides the ideal
combination of affordability and capabilities for entry level
Networking includes Small Business or enterprise application
and helps you create a more efficient, better-connected
workforce.
The SM10P Switch is an easy-implement managed Ethernet
switches. It has 10 ports of Gigabit Ethernet connectivity,
providing ideal flexibility to design suitable network
infrastructure for business requirement. However, unlike
other entry-level switching solutions that provide advance
managed network capabilities only in the costliest models,
all the SM Series Switches support the advanced security
management capabilities and network features to support
data, voice, security, and wireless technologies. Besides,
these switches are easy to deploy and configure,
providing stable and quality performance network services
your business needs.

MANAGEMENT
OPTIONS
The switch performs 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.
This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure
maximum data integri ty. Wit h this technol ogy, th e entir e packet
must be receive d into a buffer and checke d for validity before
being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated
throughout the network.
The switch can also be managed over the network with a web
browser or Telnet application. The switch includes a built-in
network management agent that allows it to be managed inband using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) protocols. It
also has an RJ45 console port connector on the front panel for
out-of-band management. A PC may be connected to this port
for configuration and monitoring out-of-band via a null-modem
serial cable. (See Appendix B for wiring options.)

DESCRIPTION OF
HARDWARE
1000BASE-T
PORTS
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 inst alled in a slot and has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ-45 port
is disabled.
Please visit our web page for the detail of the optional SFP modules:
http://www.americanfibertek.com/product_info/ip_ethernet/SFP/SFP%20Series.pdf
The switch contains 10 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. All RJ-45 ports
support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, auto-negotiation and
IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the optimum
data rate and transmission can be selected automatically.

NETWORK PLANNING
INTRODUCTION
TO SWITCHING
APPLICATION
EXAMPLES
A network switch allows simu ltaneous transmission of multip le
packets; it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges
or routers. Therefore the switch has been recognized as one of
the most important devices for today’s networking technology.
When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the
network access point such as file server, the device can be
connected directly to a switched port. And, by using full-duplex
mode, the bandwidth of the dedicated segment can be doubled
to maximize throughput.
When networks are based on repeater (hub) technology, the
distance between end stations is limited by a maximum hop
count. However, a switch can subdivide the network into
smaller and more manageable segments, and link them to
the larger network. This turns the hop count back to zero and
removes the limitation.
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.
The SM10P Switch implements 8 Gigabit Ethernet TP ports with
auto MDIX and 2 slots for the removable SFP module
(SM10P) which supports comprehensive types of fiber
connection, such as LC and BiDi-LC modules. It is not only
designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide
range of options in setting up network connections. Some
typical application s are described below.
The switch is suitab le for the following applicati ons.
Remote site application use d in Ent er prise or S MB
Peer-to-peer application used in two remote offices
Office network
High Performance Requirement environment
Advance Security for network safety application
Suitable for data/ voice and video conference application
