IMITED WARRANTY
Limited Warranty
Limited Warranty Statement: SMC Networks, Inc. (“SMC”) warrants its products
to be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and
service, for the applicable warranty term. All SMC products carry a standard 90-day
limited warranty from the date of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller.
SMC may, at its own discretion, repair or replace any product not operating as
warranted with a similar or functionally equivalent product, during the applicable
warranty term. SMC will endeavor to repair or replace any product returned under
warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product.
The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by
registering new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized
Reseller. Registration can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration
card or online via the SMC web site. Failure to register will not affect the standard
limited warranty. The Limited Lifetime warranty covers a product during the Life of
that Product, which is defined as the period of time during which the product is an
“Active” SMC product. A product is considered to be “Active” while it is listed on
the current SMC price list. As new technologies emerge, older technologies become
obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its product line
with one that incorporates these newer technologies. At that point, the obsolete
product is discontinued and is no longer an “Active” SMC product. A list of
discontinued products with their respective dates of discontinuance can be found at
http://www.smc.com/smc/pages_html/support.html.
All products that are replaced become the property of SMC. Replacement products
may be either new or reconditioned. Any replaced or repaired product carries
either a 30-day limited warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty, whichever
is longer. SMC is not responsible for any custom software or firmware,
configuration information, or memory data of Customer contained in, stored on, or
integrated with any products returned to SMC pursuant to any warranty. Products
returned to SMC should have any customer-installed accessory or add-on
components, such as expansion modules, removed prior to returning the product
for replacement. SMC is not responsible for these items if they are returned with the
product.
Customers must contact SMC for a Return Material Authorization number prior to
returning any product to SMC. Proof of purchase may be required. Any product
returned to SMC without a valid Return Material Authorization (RMA) number
clearly marked on the outside of the package will be returned to customers at
customer’s expense. For warranty claims within North America, please call our
toll-free customer support number at (800) 762-4968. Customers are responsible for
all shipping charges from their facility to SMC. SMC is responsible for return
shipping charges from SMC to customer.

Configuration Options
For advanced management capability, the TigerSwitch 10/100
management agent provides a menu-driven system configuration
program. This program can be accessed by a direct or modem
connection to the serial port on the rear panel (out-of-band), or by
a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).
The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be
managed from any PC in the network using in-band management
software (such as SMC’s EliteView).
The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web
agent. This Web agent can be accessed using a standard Web
browser from any computer attached to the network.
1
The system configuration program and the SNMP agent support
management functions such as:
•Enable/disable any port
•Set the communication mode for any port
•Configure SNMP parameters
•Configure VLANs or multicast filtering
•Display system information or statistics
•Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree
•Download system firmware
•Restart the system

WITCH MANAGEMENT
Required Connections
Console Port (Out-of-Band) Connections
Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal
emulation program to the serial port on the switch’s rear panel.
Use the null-modem cable provided with this package, or use a
null modem connection that complies with the wiring assignments
shown in Appendix B of this guide.
When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100,
specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set
communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 19200 bps
(for initial configuration). Also be sure to set flow control to
“none.” (Refer to “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 2-16 for a
complete description of configuration options.)
Note: If the default settings for the management agent’s serial port
have been modified and you are having difficulty making a
console connection, you can display or modify the current
settings using a Web browser as described under “Console
Configuration” on page 3-5.

WITCH MANAGEMENT
Remote Management via the Console Port
Configure the Switch Site
Connect the switch’s DB9 serial port to the modem’s serial port
using standard cabling. For most modems which use a 25-pin port,
you will have to provide an RS-232 cable with a 9-pin connector on
one end and a 25-pin connector on the other end. Set the modem
at the switch’s site to force auto-answer mode. The following is a
sample initialization string: “ATQ1S0=1&D0& K0&W” as defined
below:
Q1 : Inhibit result codes to DTE
S0=1 : Auto answer on first ring
D0 : Don’t care DTR
K0 : Disables DTE/DCE flow control
W : Write command to modem memory
Configure the Remote Site
At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM port (COM 1~4) to the
modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify
the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set
communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 19200 bps and
no flow control.

S
WITCH MANAGEMENT
In-Band Connections
Prior to accessing the management module via a network
connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band
connection or the BOOTP protocol.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the
on-board configuration program from anywhere within the
attached network. The on-board configuration program can be
accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network.
The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web
browser (Internet Explorer 4.0, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or
above), or from a network computer using network management
software such as EliteView.
Notes: 1. By default BOOTP is disabled. To enable BOOTP, see
“IP Configuration” on page 2-12.
2. Use the Network Configuration menu to specify the
maximum number of simultaneous Telnet sessions that
are supported by the system (up to four).
1-4
3. The on-board program only provides access to basic
configuration functions. To access the full range of
SNMP management functions, you must use SNMP-
based network management software, such as SMC’s
free EliteView software.

Upgrading Firmware
The system firmware for the SMC6948L2 is upgradable. If product
enhancements or bug fixes occur, the new firmware will be
available from SMC’s web site at: http://www.smc.com.
There are three ways to upgrade the firmware:
•Using a Web browser you can perform a Web upload (see
“Web Upload Management” on page 3-16) or a TFTP download (see “TFTP Download Management” on page 3-17).
•Using the menu-driven system configuration program (via a
console connection or Telnet), you can perform a TFTP
download (see “Using TFTP to Download Over the Network”
on page 2-22).
•You can also upgrade system firmware using a direct
connection to the serial port after a system reset
(see “Upgrading Firmware via the Serial Port” on page A-2).
