Introduction
The Expansion Module series for SMC-EZ-1026DT V.2 switch can be
installed into a number of 24+1/2 intelligent switch devices to provide 100
Mbps Fiber and 1000 Mbps UTP/Fiber connections to other compatible
network devices.
The Expansion Modules are designed to extend the distance between
the Switch and other devices or as backbone in the networking
infrastructure.
The Maximum distance connected by optical fiber is up to 2 Km
(multi-mode fiber) or 60 Km (single-mode fiber). You can regard this fiber
port as backbone in the networking infrastructure. There are four types of
fiber port connectors available for 100 Base-FX expansion modules, which
include SC/SC single-mode/MT-RJ/VF-45 connectors. For Gigabit fiber
expansion modules, there are two types of fiber port connector available,
which include 1000 Base-SX and 1000 Base-LX connectors.
Here is the list of the Expansion Modules:
1. Gigabit-SX Module (SMC-EZ1026GSSC V.2)—1000 Mbps operation
over multi-mode fiber optic cable
2. Gigabit-LX Module(SMC-EZ1026GLSC V.2)—1000 Mbps operation
over either single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cable
3. 1000-T Module (SMC-EZ1026GT V.2)—1000 or 100/10 Mbps operation
over Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded
twisted-pair (STP) cables
4. 100-FX SC Single-mode Module (SMC-EZ1026FMSC V.2)—100 Mbps
operation over single-mode fiber optic cable

Installation Steps
To install the Expansion Modules, follow these steps:
1. First of all, power off the switch, which you want to insert the module.
2. Insert the module into a SMC-EZ1026DT V.2 Switch module slot
and secure the retaining screws.
3. After the modules are installed, reset or reboot switch.
4. Connect the network cable to the module port and check the module
and network device for correct operation.
Details on these steps are provided in the following document.
Insert the Module Into the Slot
The modules are installed into SMC-EZ1026DT V.2 expansion slots
intelligent switch as follow:
1. Unscrew the thumbscrews on the blank bracket. Remove the blank
bracket and set aside, but do not discard it. Put the blank bracket back in if
you remove the new module.
p
Loosen these screws and remove the cover plate
2. Touch a grounded, metal object (such as a powered-on switch) to
discharge any static electricity on your body, then carefully remove the
module from its protective anti-static packaging. Hold the module
by its bulkhead or edges, taking care not touch any of its board
Components or metal connectors.
3. Install the new expansion Module by inserting it into the guides and
sliding it in until it stops. Press it firmly until you feel the module snap into
place. Never force, twist or bend the expansion Module.

4. Using the flat bladed or screwdriver,
gently push the thumbscrews in
and turn clockwise to tighten. Do not over tighten the thumbscrews.
5. Power SMC-EZ1026DT V.2
ON, and the Switch will automatically
detect the expansion Module. Plug the network cable connector into
the expansion Module. Check the LEDs to verify that if there is a link
and proper connection.
Cabling
RJ-45 port can be use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply
with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base TX standard for Category 5.
The cable between the switch and the link partner ( switch,
hub, workstation, etc. ) must be less than 100 meters ( 328 ft. )
long.
100Mbps Fiber port using multi-mode connector type must
use 62.5/125 um multi-mode fiber cable. You can connect two
devices over a 2-kilometer ( 6,562 ft. ) distance.
100Mbps Fiber port using single-mode connector type must
use 9/125 um single-mode fiber cable. You can connect two
devices over a 60-kilo meter ( 186,852 ft. ) in full duplex
operation.
1000Base-SX-fiber multi-mode must use 50/125 or 62.5/125
um multi-mode fiber cable. The fiber link distance of
1000Base-SX module is up to 500m (50/125um MMF) or
220m (62.5/125um MMF)
Optical Fiber Spec.
The maximum distance between any two fiber optic devices is
determined by a number of factors including the modules used in the
configuration. This table shows the specifications for each of the
available modules and will assist in determining which fiber optic
module is best for your installation.

Troubleshooting
The section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on
the expansion modules.
Cabling
For UTP module, verify that the cabling type is correct. Be sure all
cable connectors are securely seated in the required ports. Use all
standard unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), Category 3, 4, or 5 cables for
10Base-T connection；or Category 5 for 100Base-TX connection. Make
sure the maximum distance between the Switch to the workstation, or
Switch is 100 meters (328 ft).
For Fiber module, verify that the networked device connected to the
module is the correct fiber type for the module used. See the table in
cabling section to identify which modules are supported by which network
devices. Verify that the cable length does not exceed the maximum
distances.
Faulty or loose cables
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK,
make sure the connections are snug. IF that does not correct the problem,
try a different cable.
Improper Network Topologies
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology.
Common topology faults include excessive cable length and too many
repeaters (hubs) between end nodes. In addition, you should make sure
that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two
ends nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data
path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your
network performance.
