ABOUT THE EZ SWITCH 1000
SMC8504T
The EZ Switch 1000 (SMC8504T) is an 4-port Giga Ethernet Switch. Its 4 10/100/1000BASE-TX ports deliver dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps links to each attached LAN segment – all with conventional cabling and adapters. Auto-Negotiation is used to select the optional transmission speed and communication mode for each connection. With store-and-forward switching and flow control, maximum data integrity is always maintained, even under heavy loading. Easy installation and reliability make this plug-and-play switch an ideal choice for smooth Giga Fast Ethernet integration.
Features and Benefits
u Full-duplex on all ports u ANSI/ IEEE802.3/ IEEE802.3u/ IEEE802.3z and IEEE802.3ab compliance ensures
compatibility with standards-based hubs, switches and cards from any vendor
u Store-and-forward switching ensures error-free transmission u Half- and full-duplex flow control prevents packets from being dropped under heavy loading u Smart function:
- support on console port for switch configuration change
- support per port Port-based VLAN and L2 Trunking with link fail-over
- support IEEE802.1p four Priority queues on each port
u Plug and play u Built-in wiring crossovers on all ports allow connections to servers and workstations to be
made with straight-through cabling
u “At-a-glance” LEDs for port and system status monitoring u Desktop and rack mountable
INSTALLING THE EZ SWITCH 1000
The EZ Switch 1000 can be placed on a desktop or shelf, or installed in a standard 19-in equipment rack.
Equipment Checklist
After unpacking the EZ Switch 1000, check the contents of the box to be sure you’ve received the following components:
l EZ Switch 1000 SMC8504T l Appropriate AC power cable l RS 232 console port cable l Rack mount bracket set l SMC Warranty Registration Card l This User Guide
Selecting a Site
Be sure to follow the site selection guidelines below when choosing a location:
u Select a suitable location for the switch:
l It should be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the switch l The temperature and humidity should be within the ranges listed in the specifications. l The status LEDs should be clearly visible. l There should be adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air flow.
u Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors:
l Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be
higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack­environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range.
l Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted switch. l Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded. l Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains.
u Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting
fixtures and other sources of electrical interference such as radio, transmitters, etc.
u Make sure that a properly grounded power outlet is within 8 feet (2.44 meters) of the switch
and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
Instructions
1. Positioning the Switch: For desktop or shelf mounting, attach the four adhesive foot pads to the bottom of the switch. For rack-mounting, attach the mounting brackets to both sides of the switch with the screws provided, then install the switch in the rack.
2. Applying Power: Plug one end of the power cable into the power receptacle at the back of the switch, and the other end into an appropriate electrical outlet. Check the Power LED to be sure it is on. Note: It is not necessary to power off the switch before connecting or disconnecting any UTP cables, as these actions will not disrupt the operation of other devices attached to the switch.
3. Connecting PCs: Connect each PC to an RJ-45 port on the switch with a straight-through twisted-pair cable segment, maximum length 100 meters (328 feet). The EZ Switch 1000 will support up to 4 PCs. Note: If an attached device does not support Auto-Negotiation, the data rate will be sensed automatically and the communication mode will default to half duplex.
4. Cascading Switches and Other Network Devices: If you need more ports, connect the port with crossover cable on another device. See the “Cable Specifications” and “Connectivity Guidelines” sections of this guide for further information.

Caution: DO-NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair
cables with RJ-45 connectors that confirm with FCC standards. An Ethernet or Fast Ethernet twisted-pair link segment requires two pairs (or 4 pairs for 1000Mbps) of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two (or four) different colors. For example, one wire might be green and other, green with a white stripe. Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connector in a specific orientation. Note how the pins are numbered in the illustration below. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.

Front-Panel LEDs
The front panel of the switch provides a link status LED for each RJ-45 port. In addition, the front panel also contains status LEDs for “at-a’glance” system monitoring. The following table details the functions of the various indicators:
Port and Switch Status LEDs
LEDs Condition Status
1000 Mbps Green Indicates that the port is operating at 1000 Mbps 100 Mbps Green Indicates that the port is operating at 100 Mbps 10 Mbps Green Indicates that the port is operating at 10 Mbps Fdx/ Col
Act (TX, RX)
Green Indicates that the port is operating in full-duplex
mode
Flashing Green Indicates a collision occurred on the port segment
when operating in half-duplex mode.
Green Indicate that the connection between port and
attached device is valid.
Front-Panel Ports
The front-panel ports are multi-speed RJ-45 ports with built-in wiring crossovers. PCs can be connected to these ports with straight-through or crossover cable. Each port supports Auto-Negotiation, so the optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) and data rate (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps) are selected automatically.
